I've been trying to see image gen to explore ideas, but once it has generated one image it seems very resistance to deviate from just editing that image.

I've tried asking it to create different formats, or explicitly explore different directions, even told it very specific new things to change, but it always makes subtle changes to the first image and presents it.

It makes it unintuitive for exploring concepts

I had one tab open from 30mins ago which had Add Credits button

I refreshed and the button is gone

It still shows the button in the desktop client but clicking it takes me to the same page and no add credits button

Edit: Ok it looks like it was just moved here

I like the syntax and workflow of YarnSpinner from when I used it in Unity.

I'm considering using it in my custom engine now (C# backend, React Frontend) but wanted to see if anyone had experience with this.

I am working on a game where you get cybernetic implants which slowly reduce a humanity stat.

In order to restore the humanity stat, I plan to have the player participate in activities that are intrinsically human like:

- Eating

- Smoking

- Sex

Are there any games that abstract sex in an elegant way?

Or ideas on how to do so?

As a programmer it was always easy to become very attached to a certain design paradigm or homebrewed framework after pouring weeks and weeks of work, stress, self doubt, breakthroughs and compromises into it.

This was always something that kind of bothered me as the amount of manual work required to explore a path often locked me into that path.

With AI assisted workflows I feel so much more comfortable and detached in a healthy way. I can explore multiple patterns, be hyper critical without feeling any dread of migration and work more effectively.

Of course there is the cost of tokens, but I have found that this is invokes a much different feeling than sunken cost fallacy. It rather invokes a prioritization mindset.

How do you manage entity attached locations?

I have a flat list of entities.

I have entities which can have attached entities (For example a character that has an item equipped. An item that holds other items)

All these are saved with keys. No direct references.

So an inventory item with items inside simply has a list of item keys.

However I found a lot of the time I need to query the owner of an entity. So when I attach/detach an entity I update an owner var inside the entity.

However I'm not so thrilled about having two records of ownership.

I have a copy on write system because I support undo/redo and recording of events. Having an owner var in the entity makes this quite straightforward as if the entity is detached from it's owner, the history layer now has a record of the owner and the entity in the correct state. And popping that history layer automatically reverts the attachment vars without extra work.

If I set up a location record dictionary I would need to add some complexity to my copy on write.

But if the entity and it's owner both have vars then desync could happen at some point which could put things in a bad state. Arguably this should never happen and is an indication of a bug that needs to be fixed.

Any insight into this issue?

I want to support undo/redo and saved recordings of turns, so it needs to also be serialized nicely.
