My project starts to get clunky while managing 1000 NPCs but I think if I split them up into groups of about 10, and only give instructions to the group leader, that will help. Not bad for my first weekend simulating crowds. #unity3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

Thank you, 1993 Dennis, for documenting this low-resolution (the background image was 640×480 pixels with 16 colors) simulation so thoroughly. I hope to bring it back to life and upgrade it to 3D soon.

No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.

Everyone who is reading this article in 2024 grew up in an era where a photograph was, by default, a representation of the truth. A staged scene with movie effects, a digital photo manipulation, or more recently, a deepfake — these were potential deceptions to take into account, but they were outliers in the realm…
