This brings back memories of playing Animal Crossing on the DS under the covers waaaay past my bedtime. There was something really special about Wild World that New Horizons just absolutely fails to capture, seems like the tradeoff for mass market appeal.

5000 Years of The Legend of Zelda... V2! I've added major branches like Conan, CS Lewis, Star Wars, a lot more Japanese influences, and the lineage of early video games. The chart's organization is also improved. Click through for the full-size: namelessquality.com/5000-years-o...

A screenshot a huge flowchart. At the top are listed things like mythologies and histories; at the bottom is the title screen for The Legend of Zelda. Between the two are numerous influences, ranging from ancient board games, to Tolkien, to 1930s pulp adventure films, and way more.

Reading about video game enemy AI, the COOL kind of AI. Blessed to have resources from some of the best to do it.

Screenshot from "Strategic and Tactical Reasoning with Waypoints by Lars Lidén" of Valve Software.

It shows a simple scenario of some waypoints and some enemies, with the NPC selecting a "safe" space where it can only be seen by its selected enemy.

This is done by first finding the nodes that the selected enemy can see (Va), then finding the nodes that other enemies can see (V!a), and then finding a node that is in one set but not the other (V'a)

Screenshot from "Killzone’s AI: Dynamic Procedural Tactics" presentation by Arjen Beij & Remco Straatman.

It describes a way to use line-of-fire in A* pathfinding heuristics to find the best path around a battlefield.

For a link from one point to another:
+19 base travel cost (i.e. distance)
+50 if both nodes in hostile LoF
+25 if one node in hostile LoF
+50 if crossing friendly LoF

Screenshot from "Building a Better Battle: The Halo 3 AI Objectives System" presentation by Damián Isla of Bungie.

It describes an objective system that has a tree of prioritized tasks. The tasks are self-describing with priority, scripts, and capacities.

Squads are "poured" in at the top and filter down to the most important tasks to fill RIGHT NOW - basically, it's a plinko machine.

There is a picture of a plinko machine on the right side.

Ok the "prefab intersection" demo is kinda fun to just roam around now. This also shows off the RoadLane path connection debug HUD top left, should have thought of that ages ago. It reveals when you have neighbor left/right lanes to swap between. #godot #addon

Very fun #godot hack, you can use the "movie maker mode" to set up a scene to render out things like application icons straight to a .png file! docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tu... Simple script to render a single frame at high quality and then quit: gist.github.com/TranquilMarm...

If you can't do something in Windows you usually go "ah well" and move on with your life but Linux has so many ways where you can sort of do something that you end up just driving yourself insane and people go "see this is the bullshit you gotta do in Linux" when in fact you don't gotta do that.

this is the pitch that got so many companies on board and investing in the bubble. This is the naked truth of what capitalists want: pure unhindered income once the annoyance of people needing food, shelter and healthcare is removed. They'll be able to sequester themselves away from us permanently

Amazing video. Well worth watching through to the end. We desperately need more people, ESPECIALLY those in the tech space, to stand up against tyranny and fascism rather than accepting it or, even worse, embracing it and holding it up. Good reminder that everything is political.

It is important to know that despite its prominence TikTok loses billions of dollars and tweaking algorithms lays havoc to your ad sales. Oracle is gonna destroy this thing and it’s going to combine with the data center debt and consume it whole www.theinformation.com/articles/tik...

The Takeaway
→ TikTok loses several billion a year,
investors estimate
→ Revenue is estimated to be about $20
billion
→ TikTok's losses are a contrast with ByteDance's Douyin, which is a big profit maker

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative
