Is anyone else thinking or already in the process of making their own video game? It's getting easier and easier with stuff like RPGMaker or Unreal and the knowledge is out there in many forms. Not to mention the AI assistance out there, although people shouldn't rely on that and should I think it should instead be used to plug holes with lots of supervision.
Of course the flipside of that is that there's a ton of them being released all the time so you need to stand out. Personally, I think kissu has people that could make such things.
If you are you can use this thread to blog or talk about things relating to it!

I'd like to write a kinetic novel. I already have a good idea of the plot and which engine I should (ONScripter if you're curious). I want to avoid making big plans so it won't have sprites or musics right away as I prefer to focus on background graphics and sounds instead. Writing is probably the hardest part for me as I've never written a story with that amount of descriptions and from different character POVs. I don't plan to write a long story right off the bat but I'd like have a 1 or 2 hours self-contained story that could pass as a neutral/bad route.

Topology is important! This is like a giant puzzle of trying to line stuff up, but this clip demonstrates what I'm trying to accomplish. If you have a simple grid pattern, which is what you see on like 99% of porn 3D models, you can't deform it very well or it's very inefficient.
The first two loop cuts I make that are vertical is the usual layout for torso, adding more polygons as the line goes upwards and extends to the arms, which is unnecessary and may cause issues. BUT I made the polygon path curve inward with a C shape and that means I'm only adding more polygons to the belly, where high density is needed when it's big!
I'm trying to have a whole bunch of regions like this including muscles and it's quite frustrating at times. There's still a lot more work and refining to do, but I can do it!

It's a bit hard to make it do exactly what you want but if you're extremely descriptive in the prompt or just use a couple words it gives some pretty good results. It seems to struggle a lot with appendages but faces come out surprisingly well most of the time.

After installing a new OS I was reminded to disable hardware acceleration in browser because at my 12GB I can't generate on SDXL with browsers eating up VRAM. I couldn't figure out why it kept hanging at the 98% mark, but then I remembered that I am barely squeaking by.
I've moved onto illustrious/noobAI models, somewhat. I made a merge combining 4 different models and I'm somewhat happy with it and I'll throw it on mega if anyone wants to try it. I could throw it on civitai maybe to get some credits if people like it, although I should check permissions to see if that's okay with the model creators.

Illustrious/NoobAI aren't as good as pony in sex stuff, but quite good at "1girling" with characters and artist styles. It can generate a lot of characters and artist styles with a simple prompt, no lora needed (although LORAs are always better, just more work).
Older models would certainly not be able to handle "bird perched on hand" as it's not even a booru tag. Oh, and of course it clearly recognizes Kuon which is amazing in its own right!

I use mpv for everything except iso which i use vlc for. I like mpv because its just plug and play and its a very simple media player. I had problems before with mpc-hc i think it was called. I think there was something wrong with the program causing my audio to be delayed. Very strange.
Here is my mpv config. It starts the media files at the volume 100 and at the end of the media file it loops it because otherwise mpv would just stop it which i dont like. And then the sub filter which someone else on kissu recommended to me. It removes the SDH stuff from subtitles.

MORE AI STUFF! It's weird how this is all happening at once. Singularity is near?

Alright, there's another AI thing people are talking about, but this time it shouldn't be very controversial:
https://beta.character.ai/
Using a temporary email service (just google 'temporary email') you can make an account and start having conversations with bots. (Write down the email though because it's your login info)
But, these bots are actually good. EXTREMELY good. Like, "is this really a bot?" good. I talked with a vtuber and had an argument and it went very well. Too well, almost. I don't know how varied the stuff is, but they're really entertaining when I talked to Mario and even a vtuber.
Sadly, it's gaining in popularity rapidly so the service is getting slower and it might even crash on you.

It says "beta" all over the site, presumably this is in the public testing phase and once it leaves beta it's going to cost money, so it's best to have fun with this now while we still can (and before it gets neutered to look good for investors or advertisers).

I've been writing a largely custom game engine in C, C99 specifically because it's the best supported version of the language that isn't completely archaic. I'm using SDL, mostly because I want the thing to run in environments that aren't just the older version of Windows that I'm on. In doing so, I've realized two things:

First, I kind of wished I used C++. I still think C is the better overall language, and I don't exactly regret using it, but there's been a lot of situations where C++ features would've removed a lot of busywork on my end. For example, I have multiple circularly-linked lists that hold different structs but are otherwise identical in terms of access and modification, and they'd be a perfect candidate for templates. Right now, I'm handling them with a combination of boilerplate and weird post-hoc macro hacks that I put in to reduce said boilerplate when it became too much for me to manage.

Second, I've come to realize just how much of a game engine is just bookkeeping: loading data, saving data, keeping logic running at consistent speed, normalizing coordinates so the scene can be rendered, maintaining the data structures necessary for things like rendering and audio playback, etc. The problem with most of these things is that it's hard to know if they're working individually, because you need to have several of the other features up-and-running first before you get any direct feedback; I need to treat them all as one big thing, at least in the short-term, and that's a style of programming that I am not at all used to.

There is no point to this thread, by the way, I just wanted to share.

>OP, is your goal to learn programming and about game engines, or is it to make a finished game?

A bit of both. I do plan to build a finished game (actually multiple!) off of this, but much of the reason I'm making my own engine is indeed so I can become a better programmer.

With that said, if push comes to shove, I'm more than willing to use libraries if it means getting the engine done in a reasonable amount of time. I'm already using SDL and I'm most certainly going to use a JSON-parsing library for resources like level-layouts and save files, and a UTF-8 library for text.

I'm feeling really, really tempted to get a 5090 even though it's a massive scam and it's months worth of savings. It's not the rational thing to do, but I do AI stuff a lot and it brings me joy. (no I don't condone AI shitting up the internet and art)
There's also 3D modeling I want to take more seriously after Palworld reignited my passion for building stuff. Obviously you don't actually need a top of the line card to do this stuff, but it does allow more geometry to be active and speeds up rendering massively. More VRAM means you can have more processes open so jumping between programs is smoother.
AAA gaming sucks apart from Capcom so that doesn't really enter the equation at all. I guess ironically retro pixel filters are known to be VERY demanding if I decide to do that. Might be more demanding on CPU, though, I can't remember.

There's been a lot of chatter lately about Deepseek. In the online circles I'm in, people have a politics-colored understanding, more or less saying "American tech companies couldn't do this, but an opensource Chinese company could and American tech companies are in 'damage control'". Which... I really don't understand. If it's an open source model, like Llama was, for example, I don't see how this doesn't just cause there to be a proliferation of much more efficient and performant models -- the same way after Llama became available, sudden there was Phi from Microsoft, Gemma from Google, Mistral, and others.

I'm getting in 4x48GB of RAM later this evening. I'll update with my results, but for now I can answer a few things:

I currently have 2x32GB with a 4090 and DeepSeek R1 671b-UD-IQ1_S ran at ~1 token/s (>>2445).

>with a $100 premium on the 48
If you're not too worried about the speed, these are the kits I'm ordering:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2888BLV

>Do you need like 200gb across GPU and RAM to load the great model?
It depends what you mean by "the great model". For the higher quantizations you only need ~88GB total between RAM and VRAM, if using llama.cpp. If you want to use Ollama, you need to merge the weights into a single file and then you need RAM + VRAM to be quite a bit more than the filesize of the model (>>2433). For lower quantizations, you need a lot more memory, and if you want to run the giant unquantized model, you need like >1TB of RAM.

I'll be trying 2x48GB and 4x48GB and seeing how much of a difference (if at all) they make towards generation speed. I kind of have a feeling that maybe when I was running DeepSeek R1 before, it was probably going out to a pagefile on my SSD since I had like 500MB of RAM leftover while running it.

>It depends what you mean by "the great model".
