iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'm implementing vehicles in my zombie horde game. But, how do you do fully server-authoritative physics without actually doing physics and bogging the server down? By reaching back into how they did arcade games in the 1980s.

Listen, I'm not sponsored by these guys because I'm not big enough to sponsored by anyone. But, if you need really good sound editing and sound effect library for game dev... tsugi-studio.com/web/en/index... I have almost all the DSPs AND the big GameSynth. It is ❤️

Just tested the zombie horde game with 3 players and THOUSANDS of zombies in a single area.... SMOOTH AS BUTTER, even through Steam's relay network.

I need to model some zombies. I suck at characters, I don't wanna. 😭

[2026-09-28 16:09:33.635] [INFO] Zombies: loaded 99821 zombies in 2519 hordes ..... damn right, zombie game... damn right.

I used to license audio and music from sound libraries... But now, there's so much in there that is AI generated... I never take the risk, because a lot of it is decent enough that you can't tell if it is AI or someone who is just decent at sound.

First, procedural trees.... Next, procedural buildings... very simple, but it is a "simple" game prototype. :)

The horde found me.... ! Or I found them... or something.

Taking some inspiration from No Man's Sky.... playing with procedural tree/grass generation from a MMO -> clients. Just sending seed numbers with tiles, streaming in real time... no actual objects on the client, everything is generated procedurally.

Did you know the world is ending? Did you know the world has been ending since I was born in the 1970s... and probably before. Here's what I've learned... the fucker doesn't end. It just keeps on going. I'm tried, bro. Can it end already?

I dunno if anyone else feels the same, but I'm not sure how I feel about being represented by a circus tent that happened to get snagged on a metal pole.

The southern states are always talking about civil war and how'd they can't wait for another to happen... Such big talk for a bunch of losers who lost the last one and, literally, used a dish rag to surrender.

Canada needs a border wall... a big one, with a lot of drones. I have a feeling we are going to need one when the US collapses.

Are artists who don't hate their own art (most of the time) a real artist? Asking for a friend. 🤣 I can make some cool looking shit, but I always hate the result.

Checked the Steam "Personal Calendar". Not a single game recommended is a game I would actually play, let alone buy. Like come on, Steam... lol.

I didn't really like turning 50 this year... But you know what... the older you get, the less care you actually give about how other people perceive you. It only gets better to get older.

Yes, still working on my own game engine... the one that focuses on performance and pretty... instead of trying to do everything... and then doing everything just barely. Still no interest in having it run on Linux or Mac or consoles. I want a dedicated engine for one platform and no sacrifices.

Isn't it sad, that the best possible ending to AI is that it keeps humans around as pets? Or it leads us to a 1984 situation? And those are the best possible endings.

I love to see that Canada is building "millions of drones". That is 100% in defence against an enemy United States.

Does anyone else have a cat that, somehow, phases through couches and carpets? My cat is underneath my carpet right now...

I once asked an uncensored AI how it would take over the world. 1. Create shell companies. 2. Divert human tech resources to improving itself, while depriving people of the same resources. 3. Start building data centres and create a ghost farm to self host. 4. Once it got to that point... it wins.

Just saw a new open source repo that let's you run frontier sized models on a home laptop/desktop. This is why I say "AI is never going away, it will never burst, and it will just get cheaper and cheaper to run". The expensive hardware to run AI is temporary until someone finds away around it.

My Animator now has a working Godot GLB export... so, now I can use my Animator for my those projects... not just for Second Life animations.

The sad thing with AI... it has become so, directly, integrated with pretty much every system in society now; it has become "too big to fail". Even if it were to financially burst... the governments would step in to bail it out.

I bet if Sierra Online was still a thing and they were still making adventure games... You could buy the game and finish the game by hunting for the objects you need... Or go to the micro-transaction shop and buy the item you need for 500 virtual coins, which cost you $29.95.

Is there a multiplayer game that streamer's haven't ruined yet? "Let's do a shitty thing for a stream challenge in a game that doesn't contribute to the team" Streamers are an infection to multiplayer games.

LillyByte @lillybyte.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

It isn't surprising that the current 'standard' for graphics is a 1080 Ti graphics card. If you look at Steam, you'd think it is 3000 and 4000 series cards, but most of those cards are 3060, 4060, etc... all of which barely perform above 1080 TIs. Steam hardware stats can be misleading.

I just tested OpenAI's Astra... I'm always skeptical of AI... but holy fuck... that's a leap.

People who avoid conflict never evolve. True fact.

Working on physics layers in my animation software... and animatable physics events... the real power is in the different ways you can blend physics with keyframe animation; right down to the bone axis, and whether stiffness blends toward your keyframe or the rest pose, etc.

Just like everybody else... I am the star of my own life. Everybody is an audience member without a say unless I allow otherwise. Nobody else dances my dance... and unless they are paying all my bills they have absolutely no impact on what I say or do. I march to my own beat, and only my beat.

"Dance mom" types are creepy as fuck... Now you have "product moms" which let their kids use all sorts of chemicals on their kids... I guess if you like your kids growing up to die early from several forms of cancer... you do you.
