Just over a year ago, we created the first build of @playprologue (on your left) for the team to play.

Since then, and with the incredible support of our community, they've created something that inspires me every time I press play <3

Hi everybody, for those who might have missed it, here's our new trailer for @playprologue

I also want to take a moment to thank the @pp_socials team for their hard work and dedication to this idea over the last few years. I'm very proud of what we have accomplished thus far and genuinely look forward to working with our community in early access to build something that I believe will be truly special <3

"Sharing a nice beauty shot of a natural clearing from a recent playtest. It's cool how, as you spend time in the woods, these moments jump out!"

[PLAYERUNKNOWN @PLAYERUNKNOWN]

Here are some shots from my recent play-throughs of @playprologue

I love exploring these worlds and can't wait to see what the team can do to improve them over the coming months!

A wonderful thing about the journey to create something new is you occasionally run into something that, while not strictly on mission, gives you a new perspective on the work.

"Can we harness ML to generate terrains that are not only functional but also artistically compelling?"

After noticing that specific images generated by our in-development machine-learning model were distinctly artistic, we decided to explore this relationship further and share the process with our community.

"The model we trained is just a ball of potential creativity before we explore its ability."

We aim to create a model that doesn't seek to replicate the Earth but understands the concept of terrain, enabling the creation of an abundance of world types.

"…it appears increasingly crucial to give everyone the ability to explore this model. Partly because access to the means of creativity ought not to be a privilege, but also because the development of this tool can only stand to benefit from more minds and more creativity."
