@jennyzhangzt Somebody emailed me with a link to a Twitter profile and the crypto site that it was on 😬 idk how that even works 😅

@MasterMilkX noooos what happened and how did you find out?

Not really active on Twitter anymore but… Someone tried to steal my Amorphous Fortress website and turn it into a cryptocurrency. That’s not me :/ so I took the website down indefinitely. This was just a research project, I want nothing to do with crypto.

@mrj_games Hi! Honestly we’re unsure. We’re following the FDG 2024 conference guidelines, and haven’t had any word about whether it’ll be hybrid or not 😅 I would contact the main conference organizers for more information.

@MasterMilkX Hello there! Are pre-recorded / remote presentations fine for accepted papers, or is the workshop IRL only? :)

Good news everyone! The PCG Workshop deadline has been extended by one week! The new deadline is March 14th, 2024. More details about the date changes can be found here: pcgworkshop.com/cfp.php We look forward to reading your papers!

New Game: turnbasecamp 🏔️ A short turn-based game about climbing a mountain. Free on itch.io, available for Windows, Mac and playable on the web. Also includes a customisable level generator you can explore to try different mountain types! Link in reply ⬇️

It's March! But the PCG Workshop deadline is in less than a week! 👀 Come submit your PCG papers! You can find more info here: pcgworkshop.com/cfp.php

@o_withington Thanks so much Oliver! My friend and collaborator Mayu Wilson (@mayonnayze) was the one that designed the look and feel of the UI, I just coded up her vision 😁

This is brilliant! Meant to just have a quick look and ended up losing an hour to it just because its so pleasing to use. I dream of being able to design UI this well

@rudzinskimaciej Yes! But later… 😅 The data from the site will be continuously open just like the Aesthetic Bot Project, and different versions of the website will be released as well. However, there’s a lot of big additions we have planned so I don’t want to spoil too much 😉

@MasterMilkX Will you release code for this project or part of it?

It's here! 🏰🎮🦠🌐 The Amorphous Fortress Online system is finally ready! Play and design ASCII-style AI and game environments right in your browser. You can make almost anything into a game or simulation -- seriously anything!

You can check out the system here! amorphous-fortress.xyz

Hey! Are you a gamer or game designer? Got 15 minutes? Come play some microgames we designed and take a quick survey! 👾🏃🥷 forms.gle/Dots3768M2ieNF…

@gallorob2 @aueuaio @err_more Thank you so much! Looking forward to next year’s workshop! 😁

It's a wrap! Extremely happy that our (w/ @aueuaio and @err_more) workshop "Alife for and from video games" at #ALIFE2023 was well-received--thanks again for all who partecipated, and obviously to the speakers @MasterMilkX and Hiroki Sato!

Hey! You there. Yes, you. Take a minute out of your busy day and relax by creating some maps. Also, describe what the map looks like. No pressure, it can be anything you like. Yes, we will use what you create for evil. (Is map generation evil enough?) crocbot-site.herokuapp.com/create_map

Special thanks to @dipikarajesh18, Tim Merino, and Roman Negri!

Hey y'all! 👋 We're collecting labels for PICO-8 sprites. We need your help to create a dataset for an upcoming research project on sprite generation. Submit your own crazy descriptions on our web app - sprite-label-generation.herokuapp.com Check out the help button for more details 👾

@togelius @lishali88 That artstyle looks pretty familiar 🤔 is it a variation of this model? It also makes spritesheets huggingface.co/Onodofthenorth…

@lishali88 @MasterMilkX

Sprite animation generators coming to beta.pixelvibe.com soon!

@martinpi @MatthewGuz Oooh! Is it @writewithlaika or something else? I'd love to see it! 👀😏

@MasterMilkX @MatthewGuz You know I still hear your voice saying “it’s amazing how much you can do with hand-rolled sentence embeddings” regularly. And it truly is. I recently rolled my own

Doing research in AI for a PhD right now is like trying to be excited about getting a new game for your PS2 only to find out the rich kid a neighborhood over just got a PS4 🙃
