    Official thread for Home: Equestria and 3D horse autism. Most up to date version is v0.0.9.6-maredev
    This is my pony AI slice of life 3d Desktop/VR game. Talk to ponies, hug them, pet them, boop them, kiss them, smack them on the ass, get drunk on cider, wagie at the hayburger, watch Trixie shows, visit Luna in your dreams...
    >Do I need a VR headset?
    No! Desktop is near-identical. Quest and PC VR both work.
    >AI? What do you mean by this?
    The game is mostly talking to mares with AI. You can play without it, but you'll just have a bunch of silent mares. See >>>/mlp/chag for help. Recommended model: Gemini 3.8 Flash or Deepseek V4.1 1017.

    v0.1.0 is coming with a focus on FPS and performance. Every few updates, I like to go over my tech debt and refine and polish the things I've already added to make the slop less sloppy.

    >Planned:
    Chrysalis, pony-run shops, cooking revamp, Canterlot, Ponyville cafe, and more.
    Next major feature: Chrysalis & Canterlot prototype

    Progress report, have made significant headway. My goal is a bit of a longshot, I'm trying to double the average FPS.
    I've improved average about 33%, which is a third of the way there. It was 390FPS before, and is 520 now. Most of the game is GPU-bound, now, which is a very good thing, means we're not wasting anything and utilizing all of what your graphics card has available, in theory.
    I'll see how far I can push things. Another status report tomorrow, when this workflow is finished investigating the whole goddamn codebase.

    Sometimes it's absolute jank. Pathfinding breaking repeatedly, ponies clipping though things, uninspired AI slop dialogue, ponies getting hung up on one thing and never dropping it, ugly textures and models...

    But, it's still in alpha. And it has already given me enough pony interactions that just feel so authentic and soulful, that I am hopelessly addicted. YMMV.

    Hey devanon, are you gonna make a centralized mod repo so people don't have to dig through threads to check for mods? This would allow for auto updates and browsing in game. It could also be better for security if you require people to hand over the source code and you make the builds and publish the source with it.

    v0.1.0 released
    If you downloaded the installer but haven't installed the game yet, you'll need to re-download the new installer.
    Players who have already installed are fine; update the usual way.
    Patch notes:
    >Improved FPS by 40% on average
    - On first launch, asks if you want to check your computer's specs to see what graphics settings fit your system.
    >Fixes
    - TTS starts talking about 9 seconds sooner. Lip sync uses phonetics now.
    >Debug
    - Hit the Update button in settings 5 times to toggle Debug mode, which enables developer console and debug keybinds.

    I had a qualified success of smoothing the unclimbable bump in the main road at around X 172 Z -273, but that's it.
    It's the devanon's prerogative to fuck/unfuck the terrain.

    My dance mod is almost finished. Funny enough, one of the dance sequences the AI came up with is literally just the poni floating in midair and shaking her gyatt directly into the player's face. I did NOT ask it to do that. The AI just decided this was peak choreography.

    Also I think I fixed z-fighting in stairs in Fluttershy cottage (sorry, that was bothering me) and reshot the minimap (but due to grass changes now it looks like a sticker).
    Enjoy if you will and send me bugreports.

    Devanon, it seems to be really brittle how to handle the roads via mods.
    Roads are generally too wide, some lead into nonsensical places, like the road from the hospital or these double roads in Everfree and all roads should be smooth enough to walk over (and the carnival hill isn't).
    On of these evenings think how you want to handle these. Roads may be not a navmesh for a pony, but they are certainly a navmesh for a nonny.

    The AI thought the best course of action to implement this system that I did not micromanage its way through was to require an exact keyphrase to be exactly typed, "Will you be my marefriend", for it to trigger. The AI cannot trigger it itself. Now it can, fixed, released as v0.1.1.

    Good example of why human code analysis is still valuable, even as amazing as modern coding AI models are.

    Mind if I ask how you're using your AI to code? I've got the AI running in a separate window from the coding IDE and asking it questions and sometimes copy+pasting code over. I know some coding IDEs now have AI integration built in and I'm wondering how much more efficient that is.
    >>
    >>43674348
    This kind of thing usually doesn't happen, but you are right. I do try to understand how the code works before just slapping it on the ass and shipping it out, but I haven't had time during the initial alpha bugfix frenzy. I use agent harnesses, so, claude code, pi, and codex.
    >>
    >>43674274
    So do I ask "Do you want to be my new couple?". I still don't get it.
    >>
    >>43674348
    NTA, but don't do that.
    The dev is using Claude Code, and he said Astra, so I assume Codex.
    They are coding CLIs, meaning you can launch them in a console inside a folder and have them directly modify files, check the environment, get the context they need, and more.
    >>
    >>43674357
    With v0.1.1, now you can ask to make the relationship official or the mares will ask you when she thinks she's ready, and it'll be processed dynamically.
    >>43674363
    This, but I'm using Opus 5.5 right now because astra is kind of blown the fuck out by anthropic right now. They go neck-and-neck, one minute Astra is way better, then the other guy builds a new one and you switch, and switch, and switch, and so on.

    That's all paid though, right? Devanon mentioned that he's sunk a few hundred dollars into developing this.

    At the end of the last thread I mentioned that the spa is completely broken for me on all of the latest updates (tried on even 0.1.1 with new save) as if it was never added to the game. Anyone have any idea what the issue could be and how to fix it?

    I see it. Investigating & will patch v0.1.1.1 soon check these digits
    >>
    >>43674348
    You create a project in Codex or Claude, point it to the relevant directories.
    Then you start gingerly, like, "could you please pull the head and resolve the conflicts for me if any, please, tell me about them".
    Then you start asking questions about code.
    Then you're like "ok, please, present me the plan how you are going to go about implementing skateboards, let me read it and approve it".
    And then you're like "yeah, and fix me that and do me that, and please put the mod right into the client dir and launch me the client when you're done".

    I've noticed that the model will often fail to write or update summaries due to hitting a length limit that isn't related to the one under AI config settings, and eventually seems to give up trying to do summaries entirely. Is this a model issue or a game issue?

    Ooo, would a projector or something like it that plays video files from your PC work? That would actually be cool being able to watch movies with mares. Would be amazing if they commented on it too, but don't know if the AI can do that.

    Ooo, brushing pony manes would be very nice.

    How hard would it be to make an object that has an action? Can the action be part of the object or do ponies have to be updated to respond to it?

    A horse brush that you can buy for bits and then brush ponies manes, tails and/or body would be nice. In addition to the setup guide now that people are successfully making mods does anyone know enough to make a modder guide?

    >Would be amazing if they commented on it too, but don't know if the AI can do that.
    It's definitely possible. I modified my bonziPony and added a watch mode so that my wife can watch movies with me. There'd be quite a few challenges to getting it implemented into the game, so no promises, but I'll give it a try unless it's something OP wants to do himself.
    >>
    Has anyone talked to the Pony Preservation Project thread about using some of the voice work there in game? There's been a lot of effort there for AI generated voices and even though 15.ai is gone I believe the other systems there can still generate show-accurate voices.

    If you dont mind spending ~25 Cent/h to always have the voices you can use something like runpod to run the code on a rented gpu
