This is a damn good thread about a thing I've stumbled into so, so many times 😭
For me it's usually FSMs, where I make this Very Cool (tm) behavior that clearly has all this reasoning aaaand,
oops looks like robotic illegible noise, bro just twitching

i've had so many of these working on imsims. my first was the guards in my stealth game who could hear each other's footsteps and if they didn't already know roughly where the other guy was they would investigate each other and be surprised to see each other. in first person this looks like nothing
thinking about this again today, and not even in the context of procgen. The thing about systems design is that it's so easy to get excited about making little sandboxes for yourself that you forget the player needs insight into it, lest it simply appear the same as complete randomness.

Crisis leadership is about calm clarity.
When you steady the room, your team can think, act, and communicate better.
This week, practice the pause - it’s a powerful leadership tool. #CrisisLeadership #FSMS #EmotionalIntelligence #QAProfessionals #FoodSafety

Poor design makes cleaning harder-and increases risk.
Even small modifications can make sanitation faster, easier, and more effective.

Well I'm a solo dev with two little ones to look after, so I'm still building the alpha. But I would say so far designing the various systems and making sure they all play nice has eaten up the most time. Using FSMs has really helped.

Fang du an, Palikartoffel. Lies erstmal die allergrundlegendste Geschichte zum Thema Israel und Palästina, mindestens ab Beginn des Völkerbundmandates - und hör um FSMs Willen endlich auf, jeden Scheiß nachzuplappern, den dir irgendwelche dahergelaufenen Terroristen erzählen!

It would have been neat if I didn't have to spend weeks clumsily learning enum FSMs and mass framework and behavior trees only to ditch them all and do state trees, but hey at least I'm here and all the lil guys are runnin around.

Strong leaders don’t avoid responsibility - they shape it.
Taking ownership moves the team forward, even when things go wrong.
It sets the tone for a healthy, solution-focused culture. #OwnershipMindset #FSMS #LeadershipGrowth #FoodSafety #QAProfessionals

Environmental monitoring shouldn’t feel mysterious.
When employees understand why and how it works, they take sampling seriously and respond appropriately.
Clarity creates confidence-and safer food.

Every workplace has unwritten norms that influence behavior.
Leaders who understand culture can shift it intentionally.
This week, observe what norms are shaping your team - good or bad. #CultureMatters #FoodSafetyCulture #FSMS #LeadershipDevelopment #QAProfessionals

Wild study. That "emergent behavior" is why we avoid open loops. We use Finite State Machines (FSMs) to map every action to a hard-coded path. When you treat AI as a component, not a pilot, you get reliable workflows instead of sci-fi scripts.

So I got disallusioned with the Halloween demo game thing, went back to the fighting game jam thing, got some stuff going and as a result, I feel like I finally get FSMs properly, and I'm writing for a VN ting again.
Nothing to show outwardly rn, but I have at least learnt and grown. Ffs man 😭😅
