unity

feeling ultra unmotivated this feels like such a wasted week… or weeks, maybe? i really did do some constructive things, but life is really hard dealing with death. i miss him already.

i guess the machine learning seminar i took got me thinking started playing with the ML-Agents package in Unity. idk if I am hoping I can somehow program robots to finish the game for me, or if I am just bored and needed some new influx of input it is definitely intriguing and I’m surprised how quickly the agents could outperform me.

been working on the boss ship 2 model, hi-res almost done changed out my learning.regiment from Unity’s artificial intelligence course to an intro to the ML-Agents package, the hummingbirds. it seems to incorporate new solutions to traditional AI problems, which should keep my brain seeking and growing, while potentially finding some new behavior for an enemy or possibly balancing out some mechanics for the game time will tell, but i feel the influx of new ideas, practices and technologies to be crucial to developing

i feel like i’ve lost weeks! in actuality, it’s probably been about a week… in total, over the course of several weeks, but i still feel behind i’ve done numerous things and added functionality that has been on my list for a long time, but i feel like i’m really just avoiding the most pressing concern of modeling more stuff, namely the second boss i did add models for different ore items for selling and did some further delving into the shader graph, to get a more appealing metallic material with just a bit of fresnel from the graph.
