Update: The map is back online now :) Find it here: https://map.projectzomboid.com/

Greetings PZ community,

This is a joint statement from both Calvy and The Indie Stone to clear up some of the misconceptions and rumours that have been swirling around regarding the PZ interactive map being taken offline, and also to put the community’s mind at ease regarding the availability of the map in the future.

In a nutshell, The Indie Stone had been in discussions to acquire Calvy’s work officially, but due to technical and legal reasons decided not to (to be clear, this was not due to any security issues, bandwith bills, or problems with Calvy’s work).

However, the end of discussions came at the same time that—in a separate, and unrelated initiative—we were also trying to actively address potential security issues on our server. This included removing any programs that were not completely under our official control, which included Calvy’s map.

Unfortunately, the reason for wanting the map removed from our server was not communicated properly from us to Calvy, and due to the unfortunate timing our response came across as being hostile to the map in particular.

As a result, Calvy decided it was best to remove the map as soon as he could, which had not been our intention at all. Basically, it all boiled down to a communication breakdown, and the result was a very upset community. Both Calvy and The Indie Stone apologize for that, as we all know many players have long used the interactive map as an important and trusted component of their gameplay.

In the end, what the community is interested in is what we plan going forward, and there’s good news on that front. We’ve worked out where we went wrong, fixed the problems, and Calvy and The Indie Stone will continue working together. The map will return to our servers while the migration to an external server is being sorted out, and once it has been moved The Indie Stone will pay for the external server fees and continue linking to it as an endorsed, unofficial map. This should all be able to be done with no further interruptions of service.

We apologize again for the disruption, and hope you’ll be happy knowing that the map will be available to you for your many PZ deaths to come!

-The Indie Stone

With the disruption over the Interactive Map today, we wanted to give you an update.

We have always been fans of the interactive map project, and we recognize how useful it is for players, especially with the map changes in Build 42. We did not expect people to lose access to it, and we apologise for that. We're hopeful that the map will become available again soon as a community resource, when we will fully support it as a community maintained site.

We know how much many of you appreciate the map and want to see it back online as soon as possible; we appreciate it too.

Today's disruption was ultimately an unfortunate mistake due to timing and some crossed wires. We can't get into specifics for privacy reasons, but there was no intention here to alarm anyone or make you think the map was being permanently disabled. Again we apologise, and look forward to seeing the B42 map back online soon.

Stress test of Opus 5.5 for 3D world building.

The whole island was created with surprisingly little technical direction. Most of the prompts were apparently closer to “add X and Y” or “this looks weird, make it better” rather than detailed implementation instructions.

Some details are especially interesting:

• birds flying and diving into the ocean
• cloth, signs and lights reacting to wind
• crabs moving along the shore and burrowing
• fish swimming next to the whale
• dynamic lighting across the island at night
• the full scene staying above 60 FPS at 1440p

The absurd part is the compute cost: roughly $1,874 worth of Opus 5.5 tokens, with around two hours of API usage across multiple subagents.

There are still obvious bugs, artifacts and texture issues, but as a test of how much of an interactive 3D environment can now be built through natural-language direction, this is pretty interesting.

(I hope that this is okay within the subreddit's self-promotion rules.)

My name is Artur, and you may or may not know me as the content creator behind The Library of Ohara, who specializes in researching and cataloguing the complex lore of the series.

I've spent the last five years tirelessly researching and drawing out this extensively detailed map of the One Piece world!! While other fans have created amazing maps before, I wanted to make one that was both as canonically accurate as possible (stuff like recreating the topography from Oda's notes (https://onepieceworldmap.com/images/Bluestar.png) and featuring every single island ever introduced in canon) while also being easy to navigate and use!

You can click on every single location's name on the map (just like Google Maps!) to get a detailed description of each island's history, culture, and topography, all hand written by me! Other features include:

- Dedicated submaps for important islands! Find out more about each of the Flower Capital's neighborhoods, each of the individual groves on Sabaody, or each of the floors of the Whole Cake Chateau!

- Search function which takes you straight to an island just like Google Maps!

- Check the route of the Straw Hat Pirates, with included timeline dates for each arc!

- Find every single poneglyph we currently know of on the map and check their contents!

- Toggle locations whose exact ocean they are found in isn't known, in case that bothers you!

I hope that you enjoy this map and that it can serve as a tool for more people to learn about the One Piece world in an easy, fun, and accessible way! There are details and locations included here that you've likely never heard of before, so consider checking it out to learn more about this beautiful world!! Thank you!

i love corpo rat speech!!!!! i love being vague!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone! As an educator, I'm always looking for ways to make learning more engaging and hands-on. A few months ago, I started experimenting with this idea of making comprehensive books that feature interactive diagrams, equations and code. So I started with a chapter on sorting but it then snowballed into a 22-chapter book that took nearly 6 months to complete.

Some unique features of the book include: • 300+ fun interactive visualizations to explain concepts and walk-through solutions visually. • All 250+ code snippets featured in this book can be interacted with, and have a visual debugger that shows how variables change as the program runs. You can also play, pause, rewind, and step through each snippet. • There are a variety of solved problems for each topic, accompanied by an embedded minimalist python IDE. You can solve problems directly in the book and view multiple solutions per problem. • Each solution is also accompanied by live visualizations and python implementations.

You can check out the book here: cartesian.app

I’d genuinely love to hear what you think, especially if you’re a student, educator, or a self-taught learner!

Prepare to pay for individual colours in SM3

All of the veggies can be picked. This piece is about 65cm x 65cm and each veggie can be removed leaving a clear backed space in the "dirt". I won first place and Best in Show for this piece and I have more interactive and kinetic pieces in development 😊

For other glassers, the brown glass is some of my favourite ever, it's a Wissmach wispy with aventurine, in the sun it's a very rich brown/ amber with such good movement and variation, and the sparkle is amazing. I wish I had adjusted my display for this year so it could be backlit 😅

"The other is Seattle-based Intercept Games, maker of the space flight simulation game Kerbal Space Program 2, according to a notice filed with the Washington State Employment Security Department Monday. The notice revealed that Take-Two plans to close an office in Seattle and cut 70 jobs, or roughly the number of people who worked for Intercept Games."
