I have discovered VDM brushes….I should never have been given this much power lol #3dsculpting #zbrush

Started Learning #zbrush and #3dSculpting and today I made this creeper looking thing. I think he’s cute :3

One of these days I'll have a stream with 0 technical issues!!!! ONE OF THESE DAYS!!!!

So think I’ve sorted out the microphone issues…maybe…lol I think I’m gonna have to get like a pro to really help me eventually. But will try and stream again! Hopefully tonight but we will see :)

you know that feeling you get when you're riding high all day because you had a good stream the night before but you get home to try and make some shorts out of it only to realize your audio had been clipping and crackling the whole time?
....yea......FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

Happy Wednesday!
day 3 of working out down, now onto work :)
Gotta find time to create more content too...anyone know how to get more hours out of a day? lol

2nd day of working out, going good so far. We'll get in shape eventually lads!

Alright! Week is off to a good start. Did 30 mins of weights and 30 mins of cardio to start off the day!
Got a good feeling about this week! Let's get some stuff done! :)

Hope everyone else is having a great Monday!

Training a #AI to beat #Mario with #reinforcementlearning He beat level 1-1! only 31 more levels to go!

YouTube video by Coldstart Coder I Forced an AI to play Sonic for 1,000 Years!

Been awhile, but I finally released a new video! Training a neural network to beat sonic the hedgehog! youtu.be/G2Fc_dM7XZA?...

You ever blink and suddenly 2 weeks just flies by?

So I recently got back into streaming games again and I just had a friend admit to me they fell asleep during my most recent stream…and I’m not sure how I’ll ever recover lol

Man...just....Poliwhirl....Poliwhirl...am I right man?

Please tell me this has a cartoony sound effect attached to it. I can just hear that "sproing" sound as a character goes flying lol

This is incredible

but enough about that, time to get to work :)
First up, making a design document!

...how does one make a design document...

Always seems easy to come up with ideas, but it's hard to find and pick a good and realistic idea.

...and I'm sure that I won't be kicking myself in the future for thinking this idea was "easy" I'm sure lol

Think I have a pretty solid idea for the indie game I'm going to be working on :)

Really struggled to settle on an idea that I think might be do-able in a short time frame but still interesting and engaging enough for me to stick with it lol.

oh my god it's almost 3am...did not realize it was this late...tomorrow is gonna suck...

They all seem like fun game ideas :)
Love the tank horde shooter, but I'm still baised towards Unity lol

decided to hop back into Unity! Set a goal for myself this summer to design and publish a small game end to end. Will be posting progress here to help keep me accountable :)

first step is refreshing skills by taking some classes from @gamedevtv.bsky.social the Turn based game course seems fun :)

It’s not even lunch time yet and already I yearn for the weekend!

Curse you Mondays!

New profile picture!
think I look pretty good :)

Which form do you think is cuter tho?
Cat form, or human form?

Latest video is live! And it’s been a long time coming lol

This time I’m trying to train an ai to beat the original 1993 doom campaign using various reinforcement learning techniques! With some…unique results :)
Let me know what you think!

How do you find the balance of informing your audience how a complex subject works at a high level but also moving the conversation along at a brisk pace?

Working on a new video, and my "brief" intro to reinforcement learning is clocking in at 85 seconds...which feels way too long lol

So...painful fun fact, adobe premier can't import videos encoded with AV1....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

New Video will hopefully be dropping this week!
We gonna finally get that Doom AI working!
AI has been trained just need to do the voice over and editing :)

For real, April has been a weird month tho, feels like I've been working non-stop but have very little to show for it.

But back from a nice break/vacation, so ready to start making real progress and checking off some goals.
