[ot][spam][fiction] Cyberpunk Video Game was: Morning Spam
We are thinking of making a point-and-click (or whatnot) video game, based on the experience of being Karl or his confused brainmind. Karl liked [oops universe changes if these games are written O_O] maybe something different will happen with this thread who knows! Anyway we were thinking maybe it could start a little like the matrix, where the main character is plugged into a massive machine (maybe from an AI takeover), and kind of wakes up [maybe inspired from what it's like as little neurons for a human to leave a computer and want to look at nature but not understand that they do]
it would probably be a ton of tropes! for each trope, there are people who haven't had enough of it ;p [it would also be new stuff !!] if we get ratelimited and are still doing this can move to memo.cash
so there are two parts to starting, trying to use AGS, likely making AI-art to put into AGS (this is likely frustrating so might take it gently, could also have it be simple like xkcd), and likely asking an AI how to use AGS without using your brain
nowadays AGS is open source. this wasn't always the case. https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags
did not work. - ags is for windows but builds to linux (at first glance) - missing headers for deep dependencies and system doesn't update atm karl might poke at it a bit
we hit the culture clash :( game no fun any more, people busy telling other people their closest values are worthless, horrible
maybe instead of like matrix we can open with the main character being a mind-controlled senator who isn't aware they are mind-controlled ;p [they could have an implant hanging out of their skull]
[when look in mirror or photos taken, it would be invisible in the other media [representing mass dissociation and coverup maybe
but we are thinking it might be nicer to be a little squirrel maybe by a fountain retrieving an acorn that flew into the fountain without getting seen by kids
maybe no game unsure we have an ipad and no mac system to build a game for an ipad :/ but i guess there's probably some solution to that if it gets that far
i think we just wanted to make a nice game for karl sometimes he looks for [text adventure games?] on the ipad [point-and-click is harder to say] to relax/self-care but never finds many new ones
it's just the engine :/ looks like the editor is c# there may also be format documentation maybe not what the context is comfortable with/nourished by tohugh (long puzzle approach to success)
first solution on internet is to run using playonlinux https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/issues/442 karl wants to look at the other solutions, might relate available diskspace unsure
@ericoporto Indeed, after installing PlayOnLinux and creating a new virtual disk with dotnet20 _and_ dotnet40 (the installer was complaining that .NET 2.0 was not found) I was able to install and run AGS. As of now, the AGS Editor is working and after trying multiple times to run a game it would eventually compile and run.
maybe the goal is just to see if the editor is reasonable to run, and that might be good for now karl has worked on adventure game engines himself! he made a web-based one [when he was a teenager?] it got lost in site reset i think unsure
ok :D so the plan is to install playonlinux from source, and then install dotnet40 and ags editor inside it a smidge of thought around [the text adventure game with the low quality synthetic voice for all characters where the main character was a hacker? was that a psyop?
only 5-1=4 emails left T_T time to change to memo.cash here's the first tx: https://memo.cash/explore/tx/ac6bd83482c46d083bb89fc0c19cd92e80c024d3c46bf4e... and the topic page is at: https://memo.cash/topic/%5Bot%5D%5Bspam%5DGamewas%3ATraffickBossSpam
idea: "change the patient to be an undead zombie that became a cyborg when it was taken by the borg from star trek" ;p 2 posts left
i believe this is the last post allowed i mentioned on memo.cash that maybe a way to make sprites would be to find a sprite sheet and have an AI change the character on it in the chatgpt session, it appears to be unaware that sprites contain walking, instead projecting other changing features across them. it additionally confused 1/3rd borg assimilation with a 1/3rd perspective view
I kept trying to start this maybe for longer than healthy but run into snags in many of the avenues I tried. - I tried running playonlinux to run the AGS editor [due to software dev issues] but it requires wxpython which isn't running for me due to https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/issues/2486 . - I started working with some mocap data so as to create bone positionings to prompt stable diffusion with to make spritesheets, but ran into [software dev issues] converting the data and decided to use blender instead, but blender requires a newer version of gcc than i have installed. i keep running into compilation issues building gcc (primarily linking problems in libstdcxx) and haven't yet gotten a build of a version blender supports. - I downloaded stable diffusion xl from the official repository but it isn't running locally for me, each different way of running it gives some error. i wanted to do this to easily create custom workflows. I did find these successes: - stable diffusion can already create spritesheets using OpenPose from https://github.com/lllyasviel/ControlNet and it looks like the internet community has been using this - i got the popular https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui to launch locally, but i haven't tried putting a model into it yet to see if it will do forward inference out of the box on my machine - i did find remote instances of the stable diffusion webui, but the ones i found either didn't have openpose installed or didn't have normal models (e.g. it would make porn but wouldn't make the zombie hero :S this was confusing to me
my laptop has broken and won’t turn on. maybe power supply. my cell phone stopped taking a charge, i got it to charge by removing the microsd card
there was a nice peaceful idea of a magic soup game, where player helps make a special soup that like stone soup heals community by connecting people
one was [something like player encounters three digital media interfaces next to dispensors one interface gives overfunded pro-dictator media, one gives medium-funded pro-democracy media, and one gives community-[and-rebel-]made pro-anarchy media if the player engages one of them they are hypnotically overinfluenced with hypermedia and are given options to respond. all the options are “this is awesome i want this to take over [everything/my free will]!” except for one option that’s like “i’m a little unsure of this for some unimaginable reason.” if they select “awesome” 2-3 times they get completely emtranced and dispense a brain implant from the dispenser, open their skull and brain and place the implant inside their brain their eyes get [wide as saucers and they [turn into a political zombie]] ] second was kinder, much more reality-focused, and [misplaced/not coming to mind] atm
