- 🤖🧠🛠️UMeFate Pre-Alpha: Implementing autonomy and modding systems - 10 August 2026
Hello everyone🤗I want to share that our busy UMes continues working on autonomy. In today’s video I discuss the progress on the autonomy mechanics (classic AI), core basics of implemented needs system, modding side of things and covering a bit of the technical aspects. 🏗️ Autonomy As Classic AI I have already mentioned about an autonomy as a classic AI in the earlier blog post and the video. But I would like to highlight this topic again, as I think it is important for UMeFate development in the context of the emergent life sim. Related blog posts and vid:🧠🕸️UMeFate Pre-Alpha: Implementing autonomy system (classic AI)👁️🥅UMeFate AI Observable Prototype (technical) #59There are many ways of developing an autonomy behaviour in games. Different solutions and goals fit different purposes. There is no one best way of doing things. However, UMeFate approaches an autonomy in a classic way…

- 🧠🕸️UMeFate Pre-Alpha: Implementing autonomy system (classic AI) - 9 June 2026
Hello again🤗 Today our UMes for the first time, wants to show you the bare bones of the upcoming autonomy system and how that looks like from the kitchen perspective. This stage of development was highly anticipated for the past two years. So I can say, UMeFate is reaching another milestone. 🏗️Autonomy As Classic AI In UMeFate context, an autonomy term may be used in an exchange with a classic AI, to differentiate from the generative AI. UMeFate autonomy is about giving life to all UMes, which will make UMe world a living one. UMes will have needs and desires that they will be aiming to achieve. Needs may be as simple as food, sleep, or having relations. While desires may lead to building up a family. And all that being as part of Lua modding. The current system in development is about observable reactive systems and events. It is just part of more complex autonomy mechanics, that yet…

- 👁️🥅UMeFate Q&A with GF - Preparation for Pre-Alpha tech demo v0.0.10 - 24 April 2026
Hello everyone 🤗We are excited to let you know, that UMeFate is preparing for another pre-alpha tech demo v0.0.10 release, around the end of April 2026. In today's video and the blog post, me and my GF have recorded Q&A session. We go through some questions and have some chit-chat with each other.Core Questions List Listed questions are slightly different from what is recorded. But generally they follow the same structure.Section 1 - Lobby (Main Menu)Are you making cozy, or classic life sim?Tell us something about an upcoming update?Looks like the whole UI and the lobby has changed, why?Some games have problems with UI scaling, with different resolutions? How do you address that?What is around the lobby?Will you be able to play with others and how will people be able to play on the same PC?Section 2 - Gameplay Why do UMes have hats?Will there be any autonomy in UMeFate?Can you tell us…
- 🤕👻❤️UMeFate Yet Another Fan Made Showcase: Pharaohs Curse #60 - 8 March 2026
Hi everyone. 🤗Today UMeFate shares yet another fan made marvel. One of 7 World Wonders, titled Pharaohs Curse. You can already get an idea, what it is about. 😎 This is already 3rd fan made mega build in UMeFate, by u/Tommy_Vercetti_yt. Please support creator on their YT channel. Today showcase is about Giza. I won't be spoiling much, as you can see yourself on the vid.One thing I can say, that if you like a bit of humorous elements in such type of vids, I suggest to watch until the end. 🤕👻 Also tons of kudos to the creator, since early Pre-Alpha UMeFate v0.0.9 is fairly buggy and making such build is quite of a technical challenge.Already 3rd Mega BuildThis is creator's already 3rd Mega Build in Pre-Alpha UMeFate 💖 For anyone interested, here are links to previous mega build vids:🤯🗽❤️UMeFate Another Fan Made Showcase: FrankenUMeSteinhttps://www.reddit.com/r/UMeFate/comments/1plaw…
- 👁️🥅UMeFate AI Observable Prototype (technical) #59 - 26 February 2026
Hi everyone 🤗 Today our UMes wants to discuss a bit of technicalities. That is regarding finally started AI prototype work, which focuses on observable mechanics and systems, to support dynamics of UMeFate world, with up to 1000 actively living UMes in it.In this blog, we are going through the technical design process of one of many AI related systems. An important note prior, AI in this context refers to an autonomy of the world, or classic AI. Not the generative AI.What Is This About? The concept of these mechanics have occupied my brain for at least a year. I have been refining the concept and the primary design ever since. That is one of many conceptualised systems. Until the end of last week, while working, and polishing the UI and during the bed time, my brain couldn’t stop grinding my thoughts about making a prototype for AI. So our UMes have cobbled up the prototype over the pa…
- 🎞️🏡👂UMeFate UI Lobby Update And Some Rough Audio #58 - 12 February 2026
It happened this video is far overdue due to its planned schedule in late January. Yet for the past few months, the focus was on integrating many UI mechanics and behaviours, with Lua and split screen in mind. As with many other tasks, this was and still is a huge challenge. But at least now, the core UI related workflow is established. Our UMes can mainly focus on testing and fixing UI related mechanics, while adding small left overs. Video Recording Quality I have messed up video recording settings this time. Hence there is a lot of blurring during camera movement. I will address that in the future video recording. Also some audio may be too loud. I forgot to double check that background music will play over the ambient wind sounds. Which may cause difficulty to hear the wind. UI UpdateThis one is huge since the November 2025 UI update. In the last UI related video from November, UMeF…

- 📝⌨📱UMeFate Pre-Alpha: UI - Lua Modding in Dev (Technical) - 16 November 2025
Dear UMes 🤗UMeFate is on track to refactor UI with modding capabilities. Since this is an intensive and long process, we want to share current progress. Even if it is not finished yet and work will most likely spill into December of 2025. For that reason, this time, I have recorded a video, focusing on the more technical side.The initial post discussing UI refactoring dates back to September 2025, just after the last pre-alpha tech demo release v0.0.9. Now it is mid-November and this process is still ongoing. You can read about the start of the UI refactoring work in our blog post List Of Discussed TopicsUI Refactoring DirectionUI Refactoring Bi-ProductThat Is Not About PerfectionCurrently Working OnWhat NextUI Refactoring DirectionIn the Ingame Feedback System and Lua Modding In Works blog post, we have discussed reasons, requirements and challenges regarding the current UI rework.In…
- 🌐🎨🖥️🖥️UMeFate Pre-Alpha: Horizon Mist And Terrain Colours - 18 October 2025
Dear UMes 🤗 As the main development direction is about reconstructing the UI, to be more moddable and compatible with lua, which is also a big job, in the meantime, our UMes took a little detour doing their dev tasks. Which resulted with UMeLand finally taking colours and players can now see the discovered world, via Horizon Mist (as now a placeholder name).List Of Discussed TopicsColour Me UMeLandLua Modding In WorksBlinking Eyes.Currently Working OnWhat NextColour Me UMeLand With recent works, UMeLand finally started looking more like a world map, rather than a soulless desert of an early development. Saying all that, the implementation is rather basic at the current state, yet far from desired results. And certain shortcut development paths have been taken, to achieve given results, while preserving the development time. The primary idea was, to add a bit more life to the world, whe…

- Major Update of Pre-Alpha Tech Demo v0.0.9 Reading Article - 15 September 2025
Dear UMes 🤗We are extremely excited, to finally announce the release of the next UMeFate pre-alpha tech demo, version 0.0.9! 🥳If you haven't yet, please visit UMeFate Steam page and request access to the playtest.Also, if you haven’t already, please add UMeFate to your wishlist, to support its development. UMes will really appreciate it! 🤗 It has been a heck of a long year ride since October 2024, where the previous and one of the first proof of concept tech demos was released. On the one hand, tons have changed since. But on the other hand, this version is still a lot to be desired. It is technically very barebone at the moment and infested with various bugs. However, we are happy with the general direction of UMeFate and the reached milestones according to the roadmap, even if far from ideal. More about changes is highlighted further in the reading.One of UMeFate target philosophy,…
