ClaudeSpeed1911 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) http://sanandreasanimalcams.com/ About the Deer CamSan Andreas Deer Cam is a live video stream from a computer running a hacked version of Grand Theft Auto V, hosted on Twitch.tv. The hack creates a deer and follows it as it wanders throughout the 100 square miles of San Andreas, a fictional state in GTA V based on California. The deer has been programmed to control itself and make its own decisions, with no one actually playing the video game. The deer is ‘playing itself’, with all activity unscripted… and unexpected. In the past 48 hours, the deer has wandered along a moonlit beach, caused a traffic jam on a major freeway, been caught in a gangland gun battle, and been chased by the police.For more information about the San Andreas Deer Cam project, click here. I find this very interesting since it shows how the AI "lives" in the game.

saintsrow Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Strangely entertaining for some reason. Deer Simulator anyone? It's a great idea, and a great use of mods. Also, more entertaining, for a while, than following around one of the GTAV protags : I'm reminded, though, that if you're not the lead deer, the view never changes.

You should have seen it when it was in the military base, all I can say is explosions everywere.

Uncle Sikee Atric Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Ah, proof art and creativity can exist in this game.... R* will not report any of this as it is modding, but hopefully if they get another deer streaming, some nice reports will appear elsewhere.

Spider-Vice Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Well, that sure serves as a stability test for the game, that Rockstar probably hasn't done. All these hours on.

Osho Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Not sure what's so interesting about this AI controlled adventure??!!? This isn't much different than the player 'controlling the protagonist' wandering around the map and let the unscripted moments unfold, while the unexpected outcomes follow.

My prediction of how this technically works takes a little bit away from the experience though. The player model is turned into the deer and given its AI, the reason cops and stuff start shooting and freaking out is because they think this is the player doing something, so it's more player AI than deer AI.

I think they do have their AI atleast Chop does since one time he got the cops after him without me doing anything.

saintsrow Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Well, that sure serves as a stability test for the game, that Rockstar probably hasn't done. All these hours on. Even though the stream says LIVE, it seems like I have seen it loop - seen the deer run the exact same trajectory through the mountains and down at the dock. Also, there are abrupt switches to different locations and times of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misunderstood Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Since that Tennis Ball game, they've basically used the same engine for every single game. RDR improved on it, same with MP3. V improved on it in some ways, regressed in some ways, at least in my opinion. I just can't stop watching, i guess i've hit rock bottom for good. I'm....still.....watching. HELP!

Eram Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Innovative at least (I do like it), hopefully those Aus (at the bar where it's playing) are betting on whatever the deer does or doesn't do... Kinda wish there'll be some Shark Cam soon, would love to watch it swimming really fast eating pins on the highway or stealing a jet at FZ Edited March 23, 2016 by Eram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamborghini1335 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I find it funny when the deer who's name BTW for anyone who didn't know is Edgar as in Edgar Allan Doe goes swimming or on the road doing deer things..mostly getting hit by cars and such.

DangerZ0neX Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Eh it was fun for what it was, but seeing it do the exact same actions where it walks in one direction, run the opposite direction, stopping for a while, and then walking back to the exact same spot it ran away from unless it hits a wall or gets stuck in something. Teleports way too much to parking buildings and Rockford hills, it's fun and funny when it teleports to gang areas and makes the cops and gangs fight each other or help each other attack a Deer God/Goddess.

I watched it for about 10 minutes yesterday and all it did was walk around the top of a mountain for a little while. While I appreciate the modder did... something... here, I don't really see how this is much better than, say, selecting the deer in Director mode and just walking around with it yourself. It will at least do something interesting, then. Really, I think this modder got lucky as this has had quite wide exposure from what I can tell. The actual mod, really, isn't doing much at all. It's just replaced the playable character with an NPC using AI. How is this more creative than Rockstar already allowing you to control the deer yourself? Signatures are dumb anyway.

Fuzzknuckles Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 There's no point pointing out his hypocrisy, he refuses to acknowledge it. Anyways... OT, for what it's worth: I have now watched roughly 30 cumulative minutes of this stream and I'm really struggling to work out what's impressive about this. It'd be helpful if we knew how much scripting had been done here and what exactly they changed, as it looks like they've just switched the Deer's AI to the playable character. I'm not sure they've even really done anything beyond that. It's a nice idea, but really I think there's not much to this. I'd be interested to see if they could make it do more than just wander about. Or maybe opening up some other more interesting animals, such as the Mountain Lion, and seeing how THAT would fare in the middle of LS. Savaging gangstas, mauling hipsters. THAT could be interesting. At the moment, the most interesting thing I've seen from this is the deer getting back up after being "killed" by cops on a 3-star "chase" (I say chase, it was walking slowly along the beach and got stuck on some rocks and couldn't move).
