Still it's an odd choice for the English language whose primary users are monotheist. Feels like there's more going on there but maybe I am reading too much into it? :yuiShrug:
@Zerglingman@lonelyowl Mostly the less effort part, but all the moving parts confuse me. As you can see I barely made it through “use a ML library”. Let alone figuring out how to execute proper bots in games.
I’m hoping my laziness will ultimately translate into a bot that can be used across multiple games.
@Zerglingman@lonelyowl Now that I think about it the PvP portion would be pretty hard too, depending on the game. Then add on top making it realistic.
This way could potentially solve the “bots in open world” games problem and you could actually feel like you have a living world. Hell someone some day might even implement chat AI and then you never have to play with another nigger ever again.
Let me put it this way: imagine your favorite MMO. Now imagine dropping a template into a private server instead of having to waste potentially thousands of hours making a bot specific to that game that you’re unlikely to ever reuse. Now imagine this for every open world game.
Would slash the need for “realism” (which for some games is mandatory :vomit: ) in private servers. This would in turn encourage more of them.
Obviously people should demand more single player games. In the meantime, and for nostalgia’s sake, we could potentially have drop-and-train bots.
@Zerglingman@lonelyowl One other bonus I completely forgot to mention is the boost this would give to bots in games where the PvP is far superior to PvE (shooters and Diablo-style in particular). But this of course assumes people don’t demand single player and on top of that don’t demand single player bots.
@Zerglingman@lonelyowl Well Diablo would be one, especially Diablo 2 where some content is locked behind multiplayer restrictions. RTS’, strategy. I could probably think of more if I had to.
@Zerglingman@lonelyowl Well I am not sure what you mean but I think you mean these are all games you play against another person or bot? I suppose in my head I was thinking PvB = PvE. In any case games like Diablo would still benefit, and shooters as well. It could also lead the way to more realistic environments and mods in games in general.
@Zerglingman@lonelyowl I suppose I disagree. Not so much on the base premise but that it’s not always the case. For example there’s a single player to StarCraft, but the multiplayer might as well be a completely different game. However for StarCraft at least you can add bots to the game, as a stand in for players. Which at least implies both were meant for people to play by themselves at least in theory.
