Wow. Visiting this site again was like going back to my old neopets page. So much nostalgia.

    Where art thou, oh Artichoke?

    Sorry, I'm a bit busy. I had two hobbies before I got a job. Writing here, and developing AI. I hit a wall here with the new changeling episode, but in my AI development, I found a highway.

    Look at my AI! My AI is amazing!

    The New Hive Super Edit

    Just letting you guys know I nearly redid the entire last chapter because of a few complaints I got. (In case re-publishing didn't work.) They were definitely valid, even if I didn't agree 100% with the reasoning behind them, and now I think my story's much better because of the changes I made.

    Keep up the constructive criticism!

    Hello guys. Here's part of what I've been doing while I've been rewriting my main story:

    Would you like a collab?

    I've actually been thinking of adding some collaboration into 'The New Hive' since its inception. I can't really create a realistic representation of humanity all by myself after all.

    Waiting for editors to compile...

    So, my next chapter's done. Just need to wait for editors to do their thing. And from what I can see from the first editor, I made quite a few mistakes.

    Well, now I have guilt-free free time... What should I do... Hmm...

Hive Data Management, Week one · 3:18am Jul 11th, 2016

Well, this is gonna be a bit of work...

Y'see, one of the other reasons why I suddenly stopped working on "The New Hive", in addition to DnD and sheer procrastinating, was the incredible amount of detail it started racking up. I needed a system, but I...

Well, I'll be honest, I was fully capable of making a system back then too, I was just didn't want to do it. Now I'm a little more open to the idea of making a system because I'm even more into AI, and managing huge groups of people is pretty much what most commercial AI is designed for. Also, I'm less of a procrastinator now, if just by a little bit.

So, without further ado, my work so far!

I made a map! This is of the main forest where Chrysalis lands.

First, I'll be making maps of each new area so that, a, I don't forget entire areas, and, b, I can have my characters interacting with areas that don't change a little bit every time I revisit them.

These aren't entirely necessary yet, but I like making maps, so I'll just make all the maps.

also...

I'm making a graph storing what each character thinks of the other characters on a general level.

And...

I'm keeping graphs of my characters' emotions over time, so that I know when some of them might start doing drastic things.



If anyone knows some better tools, I'm open to suggestions. Also, if anyone has any cool textures, I have blender set up to make more cubes for the maps. So far i only have grass, dirt, stone, and wood tiles.

Also, if anyone wants to do organizational work, I'd love the help! (Please... so much data...)

Just to remind you, imgur doesn't work here anymore. Interesting pictures though.

Wait, what? This is new. How do I show pictures then?

4083545 My only suggestion is to find another image hosting site where you can share it. Unfortunately I don't post pictures to know which sites are viable enough but maybe one of the other people you follow knows?

I don't see any of the images. Maybe move them to DeviantART sta.sh?

Whew. Looks like the deviant art scrapbook is the only site that works that I know of. Slight doesn't seem to work either.

Well, I'm glad that's fixed.
