I dropped the JJK anime halfway through the second season because of this. Just endless murky fight scenes, no plot or character development.

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 LoFScreenshot 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

It was a lot of fun to write this using #godot + godot-rust GDExtension and I learned a lot doing it. This is one of those tools that I needed badly enough that I just... made it myself 😅 I have an audio library that's ~500 Gb and 50k files that this works beautifully on.
