Dust and Bullets update, the Moonlake Creator Cup deadline is coming up, exactly 9 days left. latest addition is ragdoll body and hat on death instead of an animation. The Moonlake AI Agent perfectly weighted the bones and joint clamps, looks like old style western fall 🤠

Starting live Jam Session on @WebbieSocialApp in 1 hour. Come check out this awesome new feature on Webbie, and jam some vibe coding with me. x.com/rfitzpatrick_i…

@papibeatz @threejs This was back with codex 5.3, it's an absolute mess of experiments. I've learned a lot from this and the game jams, gonna be sick when I come back to this one.

@rfitzpatrick_io @threejs What the hell?!

GTA6 has been achieved internally

@papibeatz @xai It crushes regular app dev, but game dev not so much, codex still king in that regard, but holy hell if you need to spin up an app for anything its so fast, and it actually tries to clear up ambiguity so you actually get what you want.

@rfitzpatrick_io @xai Ah I have the measly premium+ plan. How are you liking it?

Starting a practical test of @xai Grok Build beta. I want to see if it can help ship a small game, not just generate neat demos. Project: Orbitile, a space tile survival crafter.

@xai Intro to a planet, greet the locals. Gonna have some creatures do the work for the player. Different biomes different creatures. Should I skip meshes for this game 🤔 might be fun to make some janky animations.

@xai Oh yea, there is some charm here. grok has got this 💪

Going live 🔴 on @WebbieSocialApp Tomorrow May 16 @ 09:00 ET 🚀 Part 2 - Live Session Jam Game Dev Q&A I'm testing out Grok Build Beta, bring vibes 🤘 webbiesocial.com/auth?ref=BB506…

@ThecentaurusM Nice! I sometimes get a bit wordy 😬

@kvickart @xai Going to play with various planet sizes, looking for a casual no mans sky maybe, just not sure if the loop is crafting or survival yet, I want to get into some modular buildings on those tiles too for build mode. gonna let vibes take the wheel 🤣

@rfitzpatrick_io @xai looks interesting! Whats the plan for the gameplay?

@papibeatz @xai $$$, available now but only on the grok super heavy plan 😅 (discounted to 99$ for a while).

@rfitzpatrick_io @xai How do u get to try this

@alightinastorm The discount is interesting, $100 gamble to see if heavy is worth $300, a lot of gamblers these days... tempting to try for the lulz. I had this same feeling deciding to play Cyberpunk 2077 on launch day 🤣

THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH who's sitting in the marketing dept?? Head of AI from Unity??????

@alightinastorm yea cards is what I tried, but I had no good textures for them, if you get nice textures out of the shaders, that'd be golden (but I'm not sure if that's how that works tbh)

@rfitzpatrick_io i might have to reduce it to simple hair cards on export

Vibe Coding Metahuman with ThreeJS: Hairs and Combs It's now possible to draw hair, density and flow masks, place guide curves and comb them! The hair is rendered partially as curves and card meshes to achieve more volume with less strands and there are lots of material/shader settings to tweak it afterwards. Don't ask me what they all do, the melanin slider for sure does something Okay it's not photo realistic but i'd say pretty solid for a day's work? The UI is still a complete mess but i'll clean it all up eventually That's it for the head! Next up is tedious modeling work again, on to the body! vibe-stack.github.io/vibe-human

@GlennHasABeard AI has made me open more new tools than I ever have in my life. In business I can push more value to my customers with the same amount of time. Truly a golden age right now for creative and technical work.

The loudest opinions about AI art always come from people who've never opened a single tool.

@IsThisA3DModel I'm disappointed in this line of bashing, at least give the man a tag or repost. He works hard, up front and center, week to week he creates, and you just snicker and sneer from the back of the room.

correct - the biggest AI supporters have never opened an art tool

@Rahll I don't understand this. How can you define my passion for creating something???

AI folks love to pretend it was gatekeepers that prevented them from pursuing art, like someone stepped into their house and slapped the pencil out of their hand and blocked them from YouTube, because it's easier than admitting you have zero passion for actually creating things.

@rakanarshi2 Thanks! that's kind of you to say. I think we keep vibing and eventually the noise will slowly drown out 🙂🚀

@rfitzpatrick_io You are a gem and I am glad that more people like you are out there. AI gets the slop treatment when there has always been internet slop. "The archive in-between" "the well of fables" and "gloomstomper" are some of my favourites.

With AI game dev, taste still matters. Authorship still matters. The way I keep authorship intact is the same way I imagine regular game developers do: concept art, consistent themes, world-building, references, and curation.
