iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I modeled an actual suit of armor for the mecha guy, and then did a little test. This is a layered animation with IK callbacks. In the future, code will connect to the IK and properly snap the feet to the dynamic ground. Code will also drive the IK targets for the hands, head, and shoulders #Gamedev

Grim thoughts from a fellow developer about specifically one game/engine but with clear parallels to the industry at large. #gamedev

The cope is not realizing that once these models are sufficiently advanced, there is no need for the sloppers (the meat puppets, the humans in the pipeline) to even be involved. If you can make slop, so can a model. Once the model can make its own slop, you will be buried in it.

Just look at the current wave of AI mods. Originally the people who were slopping them together were getting popular tweets and videos made about them. Now someone has made a platform where the creation of these AI mods is completely automated. The 'creators' are no longer necessary.

If S&box becomes a platform where slop is the main draw, then Facepunch will one day simply make the slop themselves, using sophisticated AI agents, and will have no need for these 'developers' who completely vibecode their games.

There are so many blatantly manipulative accounts on this website. Every day I see some gender wars shit or rage bait about the president and it's always posted by an account that posts 100+ times a day and changes their profile nearly as much.

I did a little blockout exercise today. Ignore the Z-Fighting, I'm not worried about that kind of thing here because this is a shape profile of the character, not a final model. #Blender #Mecha #HumanMade

I haven't posted any recent gameplay of my S&Box game "Make It Count", so I thought I would drop this for #screenshotsaturday In this round, we got the modifier "rats" which made us all x0.4 size

I always wished the One In The Chamber gamemode from Black Ops 1 was just a little different. So I made Make It Count in S&Box. Here's a short 60s clip of what its like to play it as of yesterday. After filming this, the first ever other human player joined the match.

I am so goddamn proud of this. Not only did I make a skill based shooter, I made bots that can play it nearly as well as a human can. This was such a sweaty match.

Blocking out the shape profile I want

Blue blocks in a vaguely humanoid layout, with retrograde knee jointed legs and no head. the joints are black. The model is very low poly and basic.

Before you engage with anyone on this website, please consider where they are on this chart. Many of you inject your own context into things, and/or completely hallucinate what the conversation is actually about.

An infographic titled "The Argument Interpretation Matrix" displayed within a dark-themed Reddit interface.The matrix is a 2x2 grid structured along two axes:Horizontal Axis (Explicit Interpretation): Measures literal understanding, ranging from Distorted on the left to Accurate on the right.Vertical Axis (Implicit Interpretation): Measures unstated meaning, ranging from Distorted at the bottom to Accurate at the top.The matrix features four quadrants:Top Right (Accurate / Accurate) — "Accurate Interpretation": Marked with a green checkmark icon. It explains that the literal argument, intended meaning, implications, and context are all understood correctly, forming the foundation of good-faith dialogue.Top Left (Distorted / Accurate) — "Rough Understanding": Marked with a blue target icon. It notes that the literal argument is paraphrased imperfectly, but the intended meaning and context are still understood correctly.Bottom Right (Accurate / Distorted) — "Injected Subtext": Marked with an orange speech bubble icon. It describes correctly identifying the literal argument but adding incorrect, unsupported implications or motives that were not part of it.Bottom Left (Distorted / Distorted) — "Complete Hallucination": Marked with a red warning triangle icon. It signifies that the literal argument is completely misrepresented and the implicit meaning is entirely invented, resulting in engaging with a fictional argument.

I took a step back and looked up from my work today to see four half-done cancelled projects, four more projects in various states of complete, and no progress being made outside

I'm a really big fan of this one. Most anti-AI or pro-human images are aggressive. This one is not. This one is welcoming. This is the way to do it.
