@ThornPuck sometimes I hold up my phone next to the monitor and adjust the Unity gameplay window to match. I’m always surprised how small it actually is.
@mini @grumpygamer so cool :) mine is only just turning 2 so still got a bit to go
@grumpygamer mine might be a little young, but maybe Putt-Putt…
@object01 I’ve been playing around a little with ChatGPT and pretty blown away with what it’s capable of
@cratesmith I’ve been keeping an eye on Godot - wondering when it’ll be mature enough to be an alternative to Unity. Hell, maybe it’s there now. I’m keen on a more open and game-dev centric engine
@Cacotopos this is very cool - I just had a quick go with my own little choose your own adventure. Works very well
Ok #gamedev fediverse - I really should start getting my head around how this magical AI wizardry works and think about potential applications to my development future. I feel I should be getting a head start on this stuff. Any recommendations on resources for OpenAI or other dark arts?
@ThornPuck great mantra I got from learning guitar: Don’t worry. Don’t compare. Don’t expect fast. Be kind to yourself.
@ThornPuck keep listening to that part! You can figure it out :)
@alcy well, I’d say usable to a student. It was mostly console reads, string comparisons, and if statements. What blew me away was when it wrote a “go north” to the kitchen and described finding some delicious milk.
