there was a specific and since deleted tweet from someone whose profile suggested they were a bit more than just a furry, distancing from an nft project someone @'d them on, because they didn't want to be associated with nfts it's in this thread, maybe a year or so back, but as i said, the tweets were deleted

All of the same problems.”

more falafel please posted:have custom tools and processes that make git work basically like perforce that's because you really want to lock checked out data files when working on a aaa game because you can't really merge stuff and you don't want people accidentally wasting their time modifying the same stuff (and you can't rely on process alone to avoid this to happen, especially if you have multiple teams working on the project around the world) also the git workflow of having a bunch of branches for everything doesn't work very well when checking out a single branch takes several hundred gigabytes, so all in all git doesn't end up being very useful over perforce for AAA games I mean nowadays git + git-lfs is probably a perfectly viable solution for AAA games but when you have a humongus software stack + gazillions of tools and processes and automation and poo poo built on top of perforce you can't just decide to move to git-lfs just like that re: NFTs, as far as ubisoft is concerned any project that brandishes technical fad buzzwords around will have the CEO's ear and that's annoying as gently caress. thankfully I think the nft poo poo failed hard enough that they are not going to pursue this any further (that + internally a majority of ubisoft employess were against it because of how inept it is + the environmental impact) Zlodo fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Mar 15, 2023 |

the key to game AI isn't to make it smart it's to make the player think it's smart. you make a basic AI that plays your game at the skill level of a particularly dull child, then you try to arrange things so that from time to time it stumbles into doing something that seems clever purely out of luck, so the player is impressed and thinks they've been outsmarted

I worked one place that wanted the designers to check their assets into source control and it was a complete disaster much like my posting and this was like ui pngs not multi-megabyte 3d models and textures

i feel like some kinda diff-able system for images and 3D models and poo poo is totally achievable but just hasn't been widely adopted yet or maybe it has and i'm just talking out my rear end, idk hell you could even do like, a system that highlights perceptual differences (iirc we have algorithms for that now) sorta like how tools can only highlight non-whitespace code changes

The problem isn't the diffing, it's the merging. Merging code changes such that the output reflects the intent of both changes is very easy compared to doing the same thing with arbitrary changes to images.

Yeah good luck fixing a merge conflict on an asset file. maybe if you had a very smart editor that anticipated that scenario and gave you tools for it, and if it was an asset type for which that concept even means anything, you could do it. but I don’t think this sort of thing exists for media in general

if I crop one pixel off the side of an image and change its dimensions it's an entirely new image the other problem is that designers and artists are constantly making new versions of files until the last possible moment and nobody wants email messages fired off for every "james updated face_texture_123.png" a dozen times a day
