So let's test out the new Fat Man AI. Some combat testing in the middle of Lexington, involving Gunners, Raiders, Synths, Super Mutants, and Deathclaws. And Frank, the Super Mutant who just wanted adventure.. and maybe someone to love him for who he was.

As I mentioned in my previous preview post, I've been working on missiles this week. We also have a bunch of new optimizations (including a completely refactored main combat target scanner), some fixes for sleeping NPCs and BOS, and some changes to how PANPC suppression works. So let's get into i...

Thought y'all might like to see what I'm working on this week in PANPC.
Optimizations continue, long overdue housecleaning. Four years of old code stacked up in heavy layers of nonsense, waiting for me to finally come in with a shovel and drag it out to the curb. Well, t...

2022-01-29 04:04:42 +0000 UTC View PostAs I mentioned in yesterday's newsletter, sometime in the next week or two I plan to decommission the GreslinGames support forums. They were always intended as a temporary post-Nexus measure for hosting content, and it's time to move on to better things.

2022-01-19 19:12:34 +0000 UTC View PostOver the course of the last half year or so, I've continually returned to thoughts about creative gatekeeping online: where it works, where it doesn't, and at what point it just becomes annoying and counterproductive.
This is probably true in every creative community. You always have the es...
2022-01-18 22:53:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey, all. Since releasing PANPC 2.0 in late December, GreslinGames has been growing at pretty decent clip and it's been fun to watch. There's stuff happening, and I thought you'd like to know about it.

If there's one thing I really like, it's a good fan-made PANPC/PACE video. To tell the truth, I probably wouldn't still be developing these mods after all this time if not for the great gameplay vids that I get to see.

[NEW] Custom companion support
[NEW] Official support for Heather Casdin by llamaRCA
Ever since I released the first version of PANPC, back in early 2018, one of the most commonly requested features I've received has been enhanced AI support for custom companions. And my answer has always been some version of "someday, maybe, but I wouldn't hold your breath for it". It was tricky...

2021-09-11 16:58:46 +0000 UTC View PostWow, we've had an August so far in GreslinGames.
In recent days, I've been working hard just to keep up. The population of the GG Discord has more than doubled as it has become the primary hosting home of PANPC, PACE, and all my other mods. We've added new sections, taken up new topics...
2021-08-07 19:43:14 +0000 UTC View PostI believe that when you put anything creative out into the world - art, code, music, writing, no matter what it is - you are not really engaging the present.

Longer version of the -dev8 update, including our customary tests at the Vault 111 entrance, a trip through town, another spin in D.B. Tech, and some random tanglings with a Yao Guai. Shotgun tactics are a WIP, but we're improving.

Just a quick update on the progress of Pack Attack Companion Edition (PACE), a new companion AI mod for Fallout 4 using the PANPC framework. About 10 minutes; full hour video with commentary available for patrons.

A new update on the progress of PACE. The AI clearly still needs work, but we're getting much closer to a fully playable companion, and you can start to see how this mod will play when I'm done.
The video itself didn't work out as I wanted, so rather than posting the whole adve...
