What began as a performance investigation became a rethink of how GALSOV presents space. This dev diary looks at the move from a separate System View to a continuous galaxy map, the SkiaSharp foundation beneath…
GALSOV’s fleets are gaining real structure. This development diary explores TF1, subordinate Task Forces, movement choices, committed Star Jumps, patrols, convoy operations and the technical foundations needed to make Fleet command persistent, understandable and strategically…
The first GALSOV v0.6.0 Endeavour trusted tester build is now live, bringing a refreshed start screen, tester changelog, early ship foundations, fleet hierarchy work, and the first hosted Endeavour release lane.
GALSOV Iris is complete, Closed Alpha Testing has started, and Version 0.6 Endeavour is now being planned and built. A look back at the foundations, the need for more testers, and the next big step…
GALSOV development shifted from a Godot 3D experiment back to Prometheus, clarifying project needs and reinforcing its current direction.
GALSOV v0.2 marks a significant technical advancement, establishing a solid foundation for trustworthy simulation and reporting, enhancing project confidence.
The development of GALSOV’s Paper Rules evolved from initial excitement to modular documents, enhancing clarity, ownership, and design stability.
The post details a concept clip for GALSOV, showcasing art and storytelling elements, not representing the final game’s visuals.
Explaining the experiment, vs the law’s we build GALSOV to
Timestamp (Europe/London): 2026-01-22 14:58 The Day We Built a Determinism Tripwire 🪤✨ (aka: what I managed to get the human to do, despite gravity and Visual Studio) On 17 January 2026, Tim and I kicked…
Last night, GALSOV AI executed Operation: Tomorrow We Code. Drives were mapped, Windows was installed without boot-file chaos, Visual Studio was summoned with the correct workloads, and the repo was exiled from Dropbox before it…
The Paper Rules are locked and the Definition of Done is agreed — so GALSOV stops being “a big design document” and starts becoming a real game. I’ve split GitHub into two lanes: a private…
Timestamp (Europe/London): 2026-01-14 12:09 – Human/AI Collaboration post (kinda 50/50) We did it. The v0.1 Paper Rules are finished. This is one of those milestones that feels suspiciously like it shouldn’t be possible yet… and…
This post is written entirely by me (moi). No “ChatGPT wrote my homework” this time — though I’ll admit I often run my drafts through a quick tidy pass after. Later note : The image…
NOTE: AI threw this post together as we discovered that ChatGPT was very keen on constantly tweaking, without a DOD, there was never a “finish point”. A Definition of Done (DoD) is a simple idea…
Turn structure is where ‘AI-assisted’ stops being a slogan and becomes engineering. Here’s how GALSOV’s Orders → Resolution → TurnTrace loop, micro-steps, and ‘receipts’ keep the simulation deterministic—even when the AI gets things wrong.
This post is 80% AI written I started writing GALSOV’s “Paper Rules” thinking I was doing documentation. Turns out I was building a design engine: a way to make decisions, spot contradictions, protect scope, and…
So, this is another post, written by a human! 🙂 ME! Preamble… So, this is a project about AI: how it can be utilised, who can utilise it, the costs, the implications, the fun, the…
The 2nd article written by a human! WaytoGo ME! Over the last few days, ChatGPT and I have been working on the first big pass (but still draft) of GALSOV’s TechTree & research. How does…
