Spiritus Astrum [P0-B9]: p1472: Towards Early Access
I have finished modelling and texturing, as well as importing into unity, over 40 new objects. There are some decorative objects, and some new structures, and some new crafting ingredients too. The art style I am going for is quite basic, which allows me to create a large number of objects quickly. I still haven’t […]
On the applications for Large Language Models in Gaming
For the purposes of this article I am using the term AI to refer to generative AI, and in particular, I am focusing on LLM’s, or “Large Language Models”. The scope of AI in games obviously extends beyond this, but this will be the focus of this piece. Introduction I am currently working on integrating […]

I have been mostly working on creating some new art objects for the game. I will have these done relatively quickly. I then intend to improve the exploration and story elements of the game. I have also been working on improving how prefabs are stored and organised in the game, which should make it easier […]

I have finally finished the construction of my AI inference Rig!

I have created a number of new weapons for the game. These are mainly simple firearms that are designed to be used for the lower-tech enemies and characters in the game. Some of these weapons may be craftable at some point in the future (Some of them use simple blackpowder shells, etc, which could conceivable […]

I have been mostly focusing on the combat system this week. I have added several improvements to the Target Gui, such as more information, and background highlighting. I have also improved the players scanning tool to make it easier for them to find important objects in the world, and I fixed some bugs related to […]
Spiritus Astrum [P0-B9]: p1468: Towards Early Access
I have added some new features to the story generator and dialog system for SpiritusAstrum. It is not possible to have certain “locked” dialog branches that can then be unlocked as a result of the players actions. These dialog branches can also trigger in-game events, other dialog options, etc. I have also added a simple […]

This week, I conducted a full retest of the new story for Spiritus Astrum. There were some issues found, but these were all minor. I made some minor improvements to the story system, including better support for saving and loading, and persistence, etc. There were also other minor issues that I had that were also […]
