I have, once again, kind of started over on this project.\u00a0 The thing that’s changed since April of last year when I last updated on this is AI.\u00a0 I have been using Google’s Gemini product to help with basically all of the game dev tasks and it’s pretty amazing.\u00a0 From helping to flesh out designs, to ideas about the code structure, to actually coding big parts of the game, Gemini has been able to basically do it all.\u00a0 That’s not to say I haven’t done a lot.\u00a0 Gemini isn’t perfect and a human coder is still definitely needed to put all the pieces together and refactor all the fluff that AI systems are notorious for including, but it’s helped me make tremendous progress in a short period of time.\u00a0 Therefore…<\/p>\n
I’m going back to THREE.js.\u00a0 I know, yet another spin of the broken record but I’m optimistic this time because I have some really good tools at my disposal to help keep me moving when I get discouraged or stuck.<\/p>\n
Another thing I’m going to be more upfront about is funding.\u00a0 I’m doing this completely as a side project but I would like to be able to finish a fully playable game that is engaging and fun.\u00a0 I want to host the thing on my own server and, ideally, have it be completely free.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it’s probably a little unrealistic to think I can develop and host the game completely free.\u00a0 Even if I consider my time free, there will still be real world costs I can’t avoid.\u00a0 So, I’ve come up with a slightly unconventional method I would like to try if anyone is interested in contributing: Telcoin.\u00a0 If you aren’t familiar with Telcoin it’s a cryptocurrency that is intended to run in\/on\/with telecom networks.\u00a0 The project has been in the works for several years and is gaining momentum, but is still pretty niche right now.\u00a0 I’ve purchased a little Telcoin over the years so there are two ways you can support this project if you would like.\u00a0 First, you can send me Telcoin tokens directly.\u00a0 I haven’t published an address that can receive them yet, but I will eventually so if that’s something you want to do just keep an eye out here.\u00a0 Second, just buy some Telcoin for yourself.\u00a0 If enough people purchased some Telcoin tokens, even small amounts, it would drive the price of the tokens up and I would benefit indirectly.\u00a0 Depending on how far the project gets and whether I eventually have to bring in other resources or people I might consider Patreon, Kickstarter, etc.\u00a0 But I would much rather just raise what funding I can directly and cryptocurrency is a fantastic way to do that.<\/p>\n
I’ll back soon with a new v0.00.001, so stay tuned.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
