Some changes today have been made for AI driven encounters. Now AI Encounters take in account themes if they are high enough, this should give more variety in the content AI generates, it also takes in account if the encounter takes place in S.C.U.M. controlled zone or Blossom. So this means so far encounters can be affected by factors such as area type, player's specialization, experience and reputation, gang and its reputation.

And now other no so good news is I had to downgrade AI model to gpt-3-turbo for now. Unfortunately gpt-4 is currently too expensive to run, and we're already approaching default openAI api cost limits. With some prompt improvements I managed to make it wo...

An update has been applied to Dawn introducing Artificial Intelligence driven encounters. AI driven encounters are added alongside other regular encounters, their description text is generated incrementally, so it is easy to differentiate them from the regular ones.

In one of the previous updates some encounters were already added which were crafted with a help of an AI, however, these new encounters are spontaneously generated during player interaction and will vary each time, even if it's the same encounter. It is also possi...

New vehicles have been added to the game - Fuel Truck and Wasteland Fuel Truck. These should make transporting fuel around the wasteland much easier. 26 Fuel Trucks have been spawned in the world! Just as other regular non-wasteland vehicles, regular Fuel Trucks aren't craftable and can be only found in the world, so hurry up to find them!

Also a new batch of 28 player avatars have been added as well!...

With recent AI developments in the world it's planned to add bunch of AI generated encounters soon. From reading this your initial thought might be these would be much lower quality and quite generic ones, however from the testing AI generated encounters are almost up to the pair with human written ones, and only slight adjustments and balancing are needed to add them in the game. For the moment Dawn 2055 has quite a lot of repeated encounters, especially in desert/wasteland tiles which get old quite fast, so this is the great way to improve variety of encounters. Software side for importing AI encounters is already almost finished and where previously creating new encounter took several ...

It's time for another post and an update on the game's status! After features added in February (routes, shacks, security map, etc) the development focus is now shifted again on fixing bugs and adding polish to the game.

Now, the losing player is made invisible, and if they ...

Firstly, I hope for everyone the new year has started good! Today I wanted to speak about current status and nearby plans of Dawn 2055. Development on Dawn is continuing, with more players joining the game, some more bugs and issues have popped up, so the priority is now on fixing those along with adding some still missing content such as graphics for structures, some tasks and missions and some smaller features and work on general game polish and improving app version experience and introduce iOS version.
