Worth mentioning there are people working on those things! SIGGRAPH Asia had this "part-based" auto-UV atlasing algorithm www.zhaoningwang.com/PartUV/ which _should_ be possible to run locally

Yeah, having thought about it a bit, for a concave mesh with voids most plain MC samples will be full/empty - skimming SIGGRAPH,

aparis69.github.io/SphereCarvin... has an idea for SDF bounding volumes

odedstein.com/projects/rea... suggests a point cloud as an intermediate step before meshing

Det åpenbare svaret her er "dette er mye å kreve av én person og koden er nok tilgjengelig hvis du ber Okasi om den", men 1. da bør ikke én person gjøre det, og 2. selv seriøse forsøk på digitalvalg sliter med at det er vanskelig for uavhengige å kontrollere systemene, her er det null innsats!

Den har heller ikke noen åpenbar portal for å be om innsyn i koden, melde inn sikkerhetsbrister, eller noen av de andre kjedelige tingene uavhengige observatører ville ønske bsky.app/profile/stra...

I still find it a little funny that the options seem to be the extent of the control you get, just putting massive computational resources into making what's functionally Dragon's Lair

Oof, yeah, unfortunately far from the only game to try a cartoon style but having the lighting turn it into Alone in the Dark

If nothing else, the idea of getting to ask an artist about their choices in composition, instruments/samples and effects, but only getting "Dunno" back is a massive bummer

Yeah the underlying thread of "It's terrible that kids aren't good enough to perfectly pull off the things they want to make" is weird, how else do you learn to be okay with not being immediately good at something?

Genuinely did the joke here as a kid - spent too many hours with the eJay copy packaged with the local computer mag, making goofy dance tracks by mashing together the on-disc samples

That made me appreciate how to structure songs, at least, not sure what you learn from an end-to-end song generator?

My personal pick is Flower, Sun and Rain, a game best described as one very long practical joke on the player's expense, would still love to see an English PC port of the PS2 version

(Not aimed at the DNF restoration project or the Duke3D modding, those are cool, more at the "putting Duke in World of Tanks")

At risk of breaking LGR's heart - it's been nearly three decades since the good Duke Nukem game people remembered, at some point you have to lay it to rest

Trør langt utenfor mitt fagfelt her men NOVA virker jo som en oppskrift for å lage Simpsons paradoks? Hvis "ultraprosessert"-kategorien omfatter brus og Grandiosa, så havner "spiser Grandis hver dag"-resultatene i "ultraprosessert"-kolonnen, uten at det er mye bedre å spise hjemmelagd pizza hver dag

A bit funny that it works with Tetris and nothing else

"Are there other games where we could make use of the heartrate? Is there a game genre about startling the player that this would work for?" "No, get out of my office"

Fokuset på datingapper som arena gjør også at folk insisterer på å gjøre Tinders brukergrensesnitt til halve landets problem i stedet for å si "nei, _denne_ appen er kjip"
