One small change to the schedule I'm just gonna be starting all my streams at 6pm rather than 4pm.

Schedule UP.

With my 5 day vacation happening this week, and me not doing anything for Thanksgiving, I'll be streaming a lot this week! I really wanna spend this time working on Blender and art and playing more Armored Core and King's Field 2. Hope to see you around!

How is it that I JUST posted progress on an ongoing art work and feel like I've done NOTHING of value today?

What the hell is wrong with my brain?

Ok so we had some issues with texture set up but once I ended the stream I went back to my course videos and started the process from scratch. Thankfully got it up and running, and applied some extremely sloppy flat colors. Now to figure a few things out before tomorrow.

Stream time. Were back at it in Blender where I try to remember how the hell to UV map a thing again. It's an art stream and chill vibes. #stream #artstream #vtuber #twitch #blender

Come join!

Here is another look at one of the movement systems our enemies use in the game.

They check the numbers around them and take the best route to get to the target (0 in this case).

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Some Hoyo fans are already insisting “even if they use AI VO the actors gave permission like in Anuttacon’s other title Whispers from the Star”

I’ve attached a recent review of Whispers where a user complains the AI refuses to agree the character lives in the future and insists it’s 2025.

A fan replying to someone’s concerns about the use of AI in Varsapura on Reddit:

The only potentially gen Al from these was

"We're developing a UE5 open-world game. It boasts a cinematic narrative experience, and we'll be introducing Al elements to make the city more vibrant and engaging, delivering an unprecedented immersive experience." but it reads more like interactive Al for NPC, which this listing kinda supports IMO. No actual gen Al for graphics or the like.

Also, quite a few mentioned optimization of UE game for different platforms, where Al tools might also come in but not gen Al anyway

TLDR: No, there's no signs Hoyo plans to use Gen Al for graphics or voice-overs thus far (And from Track record with Whispers from the Star, even if they decide to use Al voice-overs, it's gonna be only with VA's input and agreement)

A positive steam review for AI NPC driven videogame Whispers from the Star, developed by Cai Haoyu the man behind the upcoming Varsapura title:

“The biggest problem with this game for me is that Stella doesn't pretend she is living in the future. If you ask her what year it is, she says 2025. She will then argue with you that FTL technology doesn't exist despite the fact that she is, according to her own words, light years away from earth. If you want to pretend to be a character like a future scientist, engineer, etc... She will just argue with you about technology like it's 2025. It's fun talking to a character/pc and having them respond to you like a real person... But her not being able to pretend she is in the future is a problem. I still recommend the game but it's kind of disappointing.”
