Home: Equestria - Trailer 1https://u.pone.rs/uzlflaet.mp4VR Equestria, AI ponies.Am I warranted in this being its own thread? I aim to recruit playtesters in the coming weeks.
>>43502395looks awesome
>>43502395
>>43502395Holy SOVL>Anon immediately proceeds to weird out local population with his antics
>>43502395>more AIslop
>>43502395is this from before? I am looking forward to the desktop non VR version.
>>43502395Nice.
>>43502395Glad to see you're making progress on it. I'd definitely be interested in testing it.
>>43502395How did you map put Ponyville and did Blob get back to you?
>>43502395Wow, I liked the last thread, OP. Here's hoping this one goes well, too! Best of luck to you, too (SORRY: I DON'T HAVE ANY CREATIVE SKILLS TO OFFER FRSHDFHSCF)
Rolled 72 (1d100)>>43502395Ignore the haters. It looks great!
>>43502395Looks really cool.
>>43502558Existing map I am going to fill with generative terrain a-la Minecraft to make the world larger. Adding grass, trees, fireflies, et cetera too. Regarding blob; no, I have decided to go my own way creatively. Most of what he did is already created, albeit with a different artstyle and less ponies, though with my new pony model base, that is a trivial matter at this stage and will be done relatively soon>>43502416It will have about as much feature parity as VRChat on desktop because of the nature of the game and how you interact with items. >>43502606>>43502540>>43502628Thank you Anon
>>43502635>though with my new pony model base, that is a trivial matter at this stage and will be done relatively soonGood, because that's a really fucking good looking Dashie.
I wish that blob were to release the models and all stuff he made as is.
>>43502395Home. Or at least it was. Before I fucked everything up.
>>43502395OP the attached picture feels homely though kinda creeps me out, it's got nice vibes. I wish you all the luck in the world to make this work out, even though I'll never put on a headset, I hope this succeeds. Also, thank you for booping Dash in the linked video, very nice.
>>43502395Can someone reupload the video to catbox or something? I can't load poners anymore.
>>43503938https://files.catbox.moe/wmtg8f.mp4
Progress bunp. Mane 6.
>>43503951
>>43503557aw shiet here we go again
>>43502395This is based. Can the times between speaking to the pony and the pony speaking back to you be improved? The long delay is awkward as fuck. Also, perhaps it's just personal preference, but the world is severely lacking in detail, ie grass. Cool project Anon, post more updates.
>>43502395>Wakes up in Equestria>First thing he does is boop all the maresYou are a menace
>>43504214You wouldn't have any issues with it if he did that to fillies
>>43504281The fillies are made for booping. The mares, however, can and will bite at your fingers.
>10
>>43503951Not a fan of how the lazy eyes are seemingly the default state. It suits Dash, but not the others.
>>43504940They'll have different eye expressions and eyelash styles and such but this is all just to get the bones of the project made
>>43504191Potentially? Most of the wait time is TTS, and I want to look into training some kind of optimized fast model via RVC or that moss-pny one to be included if players wish. Currently, it's using the moss-tts-pny public demo, which takes ~2-7 seconds per line. >>43504214I have a problem, I'm addicted.
Current world, around 15km large. For reference, Skyrim is around 3.4km. There will be a ponyville express. I know it looks like utter ass and it will be redone, blended together, redone again, adjusted, et cetera, until I'm very happy with it.
>>43505479How do you handle physics at the borders?iirc floating points start getting weird above 8km.
>>43503951Genuinely congratulations on not making the 3D look awful. That said:
>>43505479>Pony map is 15km>Skyrim map is 3.4kmThe ponies must not stop expanding until they are about as large as Daggerfall's map.
>>43505479>>43505632>Skyrim is around 3.4km.*milesIn a unit system that actually got to the moon, Skyrim is 5.5km x 6.9km.
>>43505720Oh, woops. Thanks, Anon
>>43505597literally me
Appleoosa, Everfree Forest, Canterlot, some houses on the outskirt.
>>43506189>CantermoreBased. That place is sovlful as fuck.
Do you plan on adding alicorns like celestia or luna, or are you sticking with the open pony models?
>>43506209There is an Alicorn model in the /create/ thread. When he drops it, I'll add it and modify it for the game.
Boop.
>that soft whisper voice dash makes at the endwtf? i thought voice models couldn't do that yet?how far has progress gone since i stopper paying attention?
>>43506914It's the moss-tts public demo, since I had to use my GPU for the game. It'll be the default available option along with customization for local servers or other TTS providers.
Alright anons, let's get (You) involved in the project. We've got the basic forms and shapes of the game down, but what should the actual gameplay be? Combat with changelings in the forest, RPG, learning magic with a leveling system? Dating sim with intricate pony love levels all controlled by the AI a-la Impressions mod for /chag/? Fetch quests, a story mode?
>>43506950Give me a day and night cycle and the calendar from /chag/'s VN and let me live a peaceful life with my wife.
>>43506950>dating simMore like, life sim. With ponies needing food, entertainment, hobby, job, etc. Most of it they provide to each others, but with the town being globally just missing a bit of each so Anon has something to provide that actually make a difference.>fight & leveling & magic & stuffBetter done by taking one of those "local WoW server with bots" package and replacing the models with ponies. Some of those already accept LLM for handling chat.
What engine is this using?
>>43506950>gameplayFuck that noise. I don't wanna do digital chores I just want to harass and raep the ponies.
>>43502395I pose a question. What would you do if this becomes popular and mainstream? If it's within or outside /mlp/, and out of the general fandom at large? This game is something new.
>>43507105I was thinking of having you serve hayburgers as a job for bits life Pony Waifu Sim, and it'll switch your suit & tie for a mcdonalds-like outfit, kek. Other than that, yes this is a good idea. I kind of want it to be a life sim with an element that Anon can affect, with things he can do with the mares.
>>43507511I dunno, Anon, probably release it pseudonymously on itch, or as like, homedevanon, so I can maybe get donations(?) to pay for a better openai account for faster development. I run out of usage in like, 15 minutes on three $20 accounts and like an hour on a $100 claude account. Shit's insane. >>43507492Gameplay will mostly be optional and won't be >forced upon you, unlike you, onto the ponies.>>43507464Godot
up
>>43507976
>>43507591Maybe look into other cheaper alternatives like Kimi K3?
>>43508921I work in tech, so my cheaper alternative is uh, my boss's wallet. I got him to pay for a $100 GPT sub. Totally using it for work.
>>43508935Fair. My team's got one of those claude max plans from the boss too so we're sharing that for now. Of course we're encouraged to look for other alternatives though.
>>43502395>human
>>43506950HE'S DOING ITHE'S OVERSCOPING ALREADY BROSHOLD ME
>>43509054We'd be choosing ONE of those to focus on, Anon!!!
>>43506950>Combat with changelings in the forest:(
>>43505236I have a project that may help with this. It's more of a cognitive substrate meant to work across commodity hardware, but it should be adaptable to maintaining persistent characters
>>43509245Talk to me, Anon. Deets. I might add it.
>>43507591>I can maybe get donations(?) to pay for a better openai account for faster development. I run out of usage in like, 15 minutes on three $20 accounts and like an hour on a $100 claude account. Shit's insane.or you could write it yourself for free, retard
>>43509399>or you could write it yourself for free, retardYeah and then progress could go at 1/6 of the speed
>>43509383It's built around a container system that acts as graph nodes embedded within a higher dimension manifold with curvature gated derived vocabulary spaces. The containers also act as RAG, self-training, logic, and dynamic KV cache generation, which can be swapped to VRAM when certain structures are in use. Basically it fancy math with some biological analogues bolted on. It's designed to learn from existing LLMs, and independently train small networks that are good at small tasks, which can be distributed across regular PC servers and talk to each other to enable emergent functionality.Practical application: train a pony character by feeding it fimfic stories. Have it maintain persistent and per-session memories. Have it learn more about itself from stories that explore similar character tropes. Have it learn what it looks like from art. Have it model and animate itself through specialized networks trained off OpenCV and a hand rolled NVAE multimodal vision system. It'll be interesting
it feels really creepy to see ponyville empty
>>43506189What is the World Editor UI from? Are you developing your own world editor, or using a Godot plugin?
>>43509589Simple application to paint the world myself I whipped up.>>43509492Fascinating. I'll look into it.>>43509399I do not know how to code. I am an ideas guy. This is my idea. I am sorry.
>>43509602Addendum, if you DO know how to code, or draw, or model, or... etc, and want to actually contribute to making this project more human-made, I am glad to accept your assistance, because this is a very begrudging use of AI. Would I PREFER if I had infinite resources and a team of codemonkeys under me that I could command at will, who know programming as an art, rather than a win condition? Yes! Of course! Unfortunately, me want Equestria now.
>>43509602.gg/hc5M5mTsP The Friendship Nexus (Don't build the Friendship Nexus)
>>43509665>dicksword I cannot say I am enthused.
>>43509665>DickswordAaaand to the trash it goes
>>43509668>>43509680Don't worry, it can replace that too.
Bump
Bought a stylized tree & grass and cloud and stuff pack for 5 bucks online and porting it to make the environment prettier. Been working on the look of the map, fixing up rough edges and such.
>>43503951wholesome
>>43502395heck yesI have a QS3 and just got https://git.wizard.casa/nak/ponyvrville-linux running on linux pretty recently, would love to see and test something in active development
>>43511253>tieanon made a vr game 12 years agoKekNew trees, grass, clouds.
>>43511272idk tieanon, I just saw some played during a pone.tube thing>12 years:old_anon_chad_ultra_wrinkled:Looks great, and I'm glad you're using Godot, I was fielding that idea myself, take the assets out of the PonyVRville and just rebuild with modern open tooling, thanks for doing it!!!!!!!!!!So are you planning open sauce? Looking for a tester yet?
>>43502395First time seeing this. Godspeed you fucking legend. Back when Facebook bought Oculus there was a massive mourning session on this board because people felt they would never get to see their waifu in VR. AI was a big part of that conversation, too. Projects like this mean those Anons tears weren't in vain; there is nothing more core to the heart of /mlp/ than trying to bridge the gap to Equestria by smashing your head against technology with all of the spirit mankind can muster. I'm so excited to give this a go.>>43503951>>43505225Pinkie is SO CUTE! I'm so excited to see how you make them more unique going forwards.
>>43509399I can Zelle
>>43511910Not at this stage of development, nonny, I wouldn't want to take your money if I wasn't CONFIDENT I could see the finish line, or even know what the finish line to a v1 is...
>>43511440Thank you for the kind words. I took this video with the intention that the Anon in said video is (You). Changelog>added kissing ponies >changed trees, grass>adjusted some things, some models, some textures, so and soforth... >added LOD for faraway regions so you can see canterlot from anywherehttps://u.pone.rs/bjbfxxro.mp4
>>43512075
>>43502395Impressive, very nice. I'm excited to see where this goes.
>>43512075Kek at the swinging hands waiting for Pinkie to speak
The thing about gamedev is that it takes a long time!!
>>43513346
Derpy!
Rest of the ponies!
>>43509399>says the guy who has never programmed anything of importance
>>43513879Cope. This project I'll be making will be /mlp/'s first ever AI video game project and I already have fans so you can seethe when I post more of my game and people make threads of it when it is done.
>>43513892?
>>43513899
>>43512075Cute! Picking them up to smooch them is endearing. I hope they get more animated and interactive as things go on, 'cuz they do kinda just feel like wandering little game NPCs with a TTS character AI attached at the moment. Thanks for showing off Pinkie more, too.Also>>added LOD for faraway regions so you can see canterlot from anywhereAs it fucking should be. Apex comfy, bless you.
>>43513906There's really no way for me, myself, with my comical incompetency at 3d modeling to shit together that many eyelash styles. I will, however, add AI-driven facial expressions for lines, so she can emote while speaking, and hoof gestures, like raising a foreleg, or doing a little jump or something the AI can also call while speaking. Beyond that, I've no clue.
>>43514038Oh that's cute sounding! And yeah no worries, if this is open sourced at some point I'm sure other anons would be happy to help you out if this gains enough traction.
Trying to come up with activities, gameplay, stuff you can actually DO, both with mares and alone, before I start the grueling and unforgiving task of creating... I dare not utter the words - building interiors. Feedback open.
>>43514216Advanced level snoop booting.Petting.Mane brushing.Tail brushing.Caressing their faces.Blowing raspberries on their bellies.Playing with their ears.Cheek grabbing, both upper and lower.Preening pegasi wings.Hornjobs.Hoof-holding.

Looking into terrain generators like Gaea and World Creator holy fuck they're expensive.
>>43515399assign another anon to vibe code you a terrain generator NOW
>>43514459YesHold Hoof
>>43515399https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/antlandscape/
>>43514459>mane brushing, tail brushing, caressing faces, playing with ears, preening, hoofholding (LEWD!) Will be added. >advanced level snoop bootingAlready added. https://u.pone.rs/rcwqseub.mp4
>>43515630STOP! STOP! YOU'RE GONNA KILL HER!
you really need to make the outlines on anon thinner.
>>43515633It'll be an option in a settings menu, I like the more stylized look, so that's what I have it set to
>>43515635is there a setting for how thicc anon is? like his booty?
>>43515788Get off the internet, Rainbow Dash!
