  (nerd alert) what im working on right now is the interesting human-ai interaction problem of: > how best to author arbitrary types of canon/lore/level design/game worlds The way I think of your game's canon/world is as - A wiki - A graph - A database Collections of data with a schema and relations. for instance: - we need to be able to lay things out spatially like town / dungeon / maps - we need to be able to create arbitrary schemas for things in our game world such as monsters / players / factions We need to be able to link things together, for instance a certain NPC linked to a certain faction. So essentially you're creating a database of stuff for your game world. The problem is, no world builder i know uses a database perspective to author their world. They sketch things in notebooks, they "play", they just "vibe it out" So Im trying to figure out which abstractions I need to make (i.e. spatial, "entity", *thing*), so that we can "enter a game world" and author things naturally. Sometimes you're authoring in 3d, sometimes in 2d, sometimes in pure text. And then the AI translates your authoring intent to a diff on the database - Potentially, data schema diffs - also data diffs themselves - Image generations and sketches. The AI acts as a mirror "reflecting" the world back to you (like a DM) so you can follow a thread and work something out. Im still nowhere near where I want this app to feel - I want it to feel seamless to dive in and start envisioning your world. The objective function I am using is *simplicity* and *completeness* with which we can author the canon / data schemas of existing RPGs (i.e. elder scrolls, baldurs gate etc) - so I can allow my developer agent to "search" for possible UI/UX solutions to these problems. how do you author worlds?

  Bethesda developers say layoffs became a yearly problem after Microsoft took over ZeniMax. Alex Nguyen, a Bethesda lead character artist, said layoffs were rare before the acquisition. He says employees were usually given time to fix problems, even after difficult launches like Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online. “Since we’ve been under Microsoft… we didn’t have layoffs before, and now we all of a sudden have yearly layoffs,”

  @abandonedmuse I think it just runs at a lower rate as I didn't max out usage Build an explorable 3D RPG world in Three.js based on the attached image. It has to feel like Elder Scrolls daggerfall in feel, FPS RPG, with collision detection, no clipping or defects on geometry, AAA visuals with HDR lighting and shadow shaders, target 60fps, split all the work into sub agents like terrain, props/geometry, materials/textures, lighting, physics, controls/camera, performance. Assign one sub-agent per stream. Each sub-agent owns its stream end to end and reports what it built plus what is still weak. Integrate, then run a review pass: walk the world, list every visible defect, fix them. Repeat till you get it perfect

Didn't stop Sony from worming their way to Spider-Man exclusivity by leveraging the MCU rights. -Spyro -Crash Bandicoot -Fallout -Elder Scrolls -Banjo-Kazooie Should all go exclusive.

  @PassiveProphet Waiting till they spent like 3+ years on the game and it being like 90% done then cancelling it was not cancelling it in time. A true leader would've been able to see the problems much earlier on and would've given the relevant feedback/stop it in time. Dude kept saying 7 years to make a game is fine how many games did that this gen besides the obvious GTA VI and Elder scrolls VI which are massive games?

  @KeezTheFlex @SentMush @Caffeinefunk 100% agree with this they have way more corporate bs that is their problem. Loading is more minor yet understandable qol. They dont even have the og lore guy for elder scrolls. Like wtf. The main lore guy for everything up to skyrim is gone. ES6 might be doo too from that alone.

  @nichegamer Looking forward to it, but i'm afraid the games i'm mostly hoping for are not coming. Elder Scrolls Oblivion for example has a PC version, but no Controller support. Would be great to get the 360 version instead. Has lots of issues via Xenia 3rd party, Xbox could fix that.

  @JaeGamez This system would be cool in a gladiator game, super hero game, or the next Elder Scrolls. Anyone could challenge the patent or alter the bones enough to make it work. The problem with this was it was a HUGE undertaking, especially the voice acting. AI could make that easier.

  @DeekeTweak we go back to the usual absurd debate, Xbox cannot make its games exclusive, but Play Station can, the last Elder Scrolls came out in 2011, we are not talking about making FIFA or Call of Duty exclusive, if Sony made Spiderman exclusive I don't see a problem with Elder Scrolls 6.

  This has become a larger issue than just with GTA. Even when you look at The Elder Scrolls VI, people believe it's been in development for 15 years when it only entered full production in 2023 following the release of Starfield. The sad reality is all of this is so easy to Google but people remain ignorant

  Skyrim sold 30 million copies. Then Bethesda announced its sequel. Skyrim sold 30 million more. Most studios rush sequels because the old game stops selling. Bethesda had the opposite problem, and it explains the longest wait in modern gaming. Skyrim launched in 2011. Twelve years later it was the seventh best-selling game in history, ported to roughly ten platforms, some of them twice. There's a version that runs on Amazon Alexa. Every year without The Elder Scrolls VI was a year the 2011 game faced zero internal competition. A sequel kills the back catalog. As long as VI stayed a teaser, Skyrim remained the newest mainline entry in one of gaming's biggest franchises, and it kept compounding into a 60 million unit annuity. Todd Howard even asked fans to "pretend we didn't announce it." That sounds like embarrassment. It's also exactly what you'd say if your 15-year-old game was outselling most studios' new releases. Now Xbox's CEO is teasing a censored subtitle after a live playthrough. The moment they finally say the name out loud is the moment the Skyrim annuity starts its countdown. Eight asterisks is what it looks like when a company decides the annuity has finally run its course.

  @JezCorden We gotta stop blaming 2013 for the various **** Xbox is in in 2026. PS3 was in just as much **** and was able to fix it within a generation. E.g. Mattrick didn't convince Satya/Hood to spend 7bil on Bethesda, then do **** all with Fallout/Elder Scrolls.

  Paladin Ashe (@PaladinAshe) reported 43 minutes ago

  That part about major cities was one of my huge criticisms. It's already something of an issue with prior Elder Scrolls games, because after Morrowind everything is a walled city with little sprawl, and major settlements always had sprawl in reality. However, Starfield has basically bland nothing beyond their cities. At least Cyrodiil or Skyrim are beautiful when off roading, but Starfield just...has nothing, and because it has nothing it feels smaller for it. The game already feels like every other system beyond the major ones is an irrelevant nothing, but when your major settlements are a singular stamp sized mark on a whole planet it just accentuates how tiny everything is. You don't even have the excuse of, "we scaled **** down from how the lore says it was" with this one. That's just a choice, a lazy one.

  @CTPhipps1980 @RazorFist No one’s saying every programmer or artist decided to delay Elder Scrolls VI, but the issue is that Bethesda expanded its workforce while its output and quality took a nose dive the last 15+ years. Layoffs are a consequence of the studio’s overall severe lack of performance.

  Graham Smith (@SuperSmithBros) reported 55 minutes ago

  @St1ka @nameresu Again, if we look at actual development time its more like 8 years. They also arent forcing larger budgets and dev times on other devs at all. There are probably 4 or 5 franchises in total that do this. Elder Scrolls, Cyber Punk, Witcher and Rockstar games. Cyber Punk also made the mistake of releasing too early (which cost them dearly). I have no problem with that for these franchise (although elder scrolls is dragging and potentially because Bethesda track record isnt what is once was). Literally every other franchise does things differently... The ones that do it yearly burn out and lose customers from repetition. Other devs focus on more unique experiences. Each to their own.
