Ladies and gentlemen, here's the story of the craziest bug I worked on during the late stages of shipping #MindsEye. The final fix went in exactly one week before release, just in time for the day 1 patch.

I wish I had the opportunity to do a full post mortem of that project, but this will probably never happen. That bug was a gem though. The world needs to know about it before my memory fades away.

"Liệu các mô hình AI cỡ nhỏ (dưới 1GB) có thực sự trở nên hiệu quả hơn? Người dùng chia sẻ mong muốn mô hình local đạt khả năng lập luận như Gemini 2.5-3, xử lý JSON chặt chẽ và bối cảnh lớn (50k-100k token) phục vụ ứng dụng game. Câu hỏi lớn: Tiến bộ đến từ tối ưu kiến trúc hay phụ thuộc vào việc mở rộng quy mô?

In 'Where Winds Meet,' players are outsmarting AI riddlers by simply telling NPCs they’ve solved the puzzles—no real answers needed.

This quirky AI glitch highlights the growing pains of AI-driven gaming. #GameAI #WhereWindsMeet

My favourite way to play “Shooters” has always been co-op.
I switched my AI coding (Climate modelling, Chess, etc.) to making “bots” for the Quake Engine based games back in the 1990s, just so me and a few friends could have some fun against Artificial Enemies. It really took off.

For an arcade machine project in 1999, I had to invent “Artificial Stupidity”, because my Bots were too good for the players to beat. Playtesters died all the time, so I taught the bots to do things like:
⭐️Go the wrong way.
⭐️Miss valuable pickups.
⭐️Worsen their aim.
⭐️‘Hear’ and ‘see’ less.

Fun experience, teaching them to play like a human. As players progressed through the levels, the bots grew more intelligent, gradually providing more challenge, so players felt they got their money’s worth.

Chris Simon bàn về tiềm năng và hạn chế của LLM trong game: tạo hội thoại NPC, AI Dungeon Master, và xây dựng cốt truyện. Ông nhấn mạnh sự cần thiết của các mô hình nhỏ, chuyên biệt và chỉ ra rằng LLM có thể thiếu tính sáng tạo khi sử dụng ở quy mô lớn.
