Once you’ve finished binging Stranger Things, why not use the holiday break to learn game AI programming? 😎 If you’re up for the challenge, I made a 20+ hour course covering everything from theory to practice! 🧑‍💻 (Oh, and there’s a cheeky 50% discount in the next tweet! 🎁👇)

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

I know right? Mojang is not very keen to have their source code around, even the decompiled one. I'd suggest checking this though, which may be a good starting point at least for the biomes! github.com/KaptainWutax...

Last week, Goldsmiths hosted a 48-hour game development hackathon on campus, with participants working day and night to develop a game around the theme 'bubble'.

People sit with laptops around a trestle table in a large hall. There are bubbles flying around the room and a large colourful ball on the stage.

It's never too late to learn Game AI! 🦾🤖 Over the past year I created an online course that teaches classical AI in to modern videogames, covering both theory and practice, from Behaviour Trees to Neural Networks. 🧠 (free trial link below 🧵👇) www.youtube.com/watch?v=qED1...

It's undeniable that the "Creatures" series had a massive impact on many of the young kids who played it. 🐻 In case you missed this forgotten gem from the late 90s, the best way to describe it is a "Tamagotchi on steroids". 🐣 But if you want to learn more, stick with me for this thread! 🧵👇

Remember the AI / copyright consultation? I'm having dinner with one of its principle authors on Friday. What should I say to them? Bear in mind, they aren't responsible for govt policy, but are involved in its execution, and they can frame how the response to the consultation is received.
