《Skillmaster : Haven》Intermission One - Of Pinheads and Peabrains
Advertisement
Intermission 1 – Peabrains and Pinheads
To imitate reality, as well as to provide a pathway of experience learning, with the citizens and creatures of Haven, a whole new concept of artificial intelligence was determined as being required. Having one overall AI in charge of numerous entities caused massive disruptions and failures within the game structure, often experienced as data lags and action loops. Bill Norman therefore created a whole new department at Holobyne to deal with this problem.
The solution they developed, while not being unique, had never before been contemplated , let alone implemented, on such a large scale as was required for Haven
To ensure each entity within the game structure would operate as an individual, and act in unique ways when faced with choice or action, each and every one of them was allocated a micro Ai module, each with its own Nanoprocessor and memory storage capacity, along with hard coded heuristic operating system, that learned from experience.. Two type of these modules were designed and implemented, with the lesser one for creatures and entities that relied upon lesser intelligence and instinct referred to as Pinheads, and the greater one , to cater for entities of greater intelligence, called Peabrains.. In addition to separate AI controllers, all these entities were also coded with respawn, and memory of death.
At the time of release, it was estimated that there was well in excess of 5 billion Pinheads and Peabrains active in Haven, with an additional fifty thousand contemplated to be added each week .

8 1116Silvergates: Northworld (Book 1 complete)
Five years ago, the first Silvergate was found. At first, they called it a hoax. But since then, more and more people have entered the alternate dimension called Northworld, received their Interface, and going on to real adventures. As it gained momentum, they called it a problem. Now, they call it a crime. But for nearly a half a million people, it's now their real home. Yearning. Escape. Duty. The reasons to go are many. Despite the criminalization of the Silvergating, people still seek out their ticket to Northworld. But for new Gaters Jasper Hill, Erika Haglund, Henry Esteban, Northworld has surprises in store. Not every rumor are false, not every conspiracy theory is stupid. When the veil lift for them, showing truths about Northworld that no one suspected, they may have a hard time making themselves heard. And being trusted may mean the difference between life or exile forever. Northworld is a litrpg story where people enter an actual world, submit to an RPG-type Interface, and discover an alternate reality. You could describe it as a reversible Isekai since people alternate between Earth and Northworld. The characters are usually casual about it, which means casual talk and the not-infrequent profanity. Four letter words dropped in conversation (or internal monologue). Warning: one potentially horrible theme and one implied sex scene. Book 1 is complete, as the title says. Book 2 is expected to start in 2022 (hopefully).
