MyRobot Development Part 12 (Patreon)

Video shows the summary, text shows the technical!

This week:

• Sounds
• Map Updates
• Polish
• ChatGPT work

Sounds

Dozens of sounds were added to many physics interactions such as footsteps, physics impact sounds, skill experience, skill level up, and the right click menu.

The footstep sounds now change if you are standing on rock, dirt, stone, or wood. Many of these sounds were taken from the old Viva project to save time. Most of them however are new.

Map Updates

The first area of the map is the spawn area. This will be the central hub for exploration. Right after I finish ChatGPT integration I will immediately move to implement the first escape quest which will require augmenting your robot in a way that allows you to cross the crevice.

Polish

Training your robot to walk was sort of clunky at first because there was no feedback to let you know if it was learning at all. So I added a meter that fills up as it learns to walk.

Similarly an indicator was added to let you know right away how much battery is left in your robot.

Now for the ChatGPT juicy details

The backend work for it has started. A lot of the code for VivaAI is being ported over to MyRobot and the same token system will be used for generating responses/voices. It's very exciting to know that a lot of advancements in AI have ocurred since VivaAI was started (1 year of upgrades). Things are faster, contexts can be bigger, and in some cases models are cheaper. Therefore I will probably take everyone's token allowances and multiply them by some factor. Details not yet known until I formally start the integration next week.

Stay tuned!
