Moral Boost Command Palette Search for a command to run... SSprited Dev Part of seriesMachi So far, we have been focused on working on Monet. Monet is an agent that behaves like a living being with autonomous loop. While we see some sparks in various places, overall it has been source of stress due to not having a defined goal. The biggest problem is that I still can't imagine the final product. Building a mail app for example is much easier because it is a tool and you can design bunch of UI components and make the flow work. Overall building a mail app there are bunch of solutions and you just have to choose one and build it. On the other hand digital being is not really a category. There is no predefined shape of the app. It can be anything. It could be command line interface or use Telegram as primary UI or it could be fully embodied visual being. Even if we fixed that, it can't be visually imagined what Monet should do. Should it play games with you? should it sing? should it sleep? There are so many questions and branching downstream decision points. I honestly need to get some air and I need to build something with a clear visual goal. Instead of continuing to build Monet aimlessly, I want to take a quick break and make something end to end from start to finish, a defined finish line. I think it should give me some boost in terms moral. Thinking is that I would take a break from endless iteration and see if I can turn this picture into a reality. What's in this diagram. Set of platforms with depths. Stairs Moving Trains Ridable cars Sit-able chairs Interact-able elements This is something I can try to make into reality just as a prototype of what fully developed Machi would look like. The art is not the best thing in the world but neither is Minecraft artistically sublime. Let me try to see if I can make this in to a reality as a practice. -- Sprited Dev Comments Join the discussion No comments yet. Be the first to comment.
