I decided to make a thread about this. The Undermind is a podcast about Brood War AI, and the whole AI scene, and it started out as an inside thing - but it grew to be much more than that, as I started to interview, and involve other prominent members of the whole Brood War community. What sparked this thread is the episode with Freakling, who had a lot to say about maps, and map making in general.
Cool I'll def check out when I have some time. Fell over the SSCAIT twitch through a raid from STPL, super interesting "subculture"(in lack of a better word).

Be sure to check out the latest Pylon Show too if you are interested
I'll be having a special episode with Freakling, one of the greatest Brood War map designers today. It is a continuation of a previous one. Tune in from 1900 CET (pre-show from 1830) here: https://www.twitch.tv/sonkomagnus I'll post the recording, and edited version later, but please join us live and engage!
And here is the recording of the 39th episode of the Undermind podcast! This was an exclusive episode with Jasper Geurtz (Yegers). We talked about his journey into the bot development scene, developing a bot in Java, writing a library, and community engagement. Also, some SCHNAIL discussion was taking place. Happy listening! https://makingcomputerdothings.com/the-undermind-episode-39/
And yet again, Freakling returned! Along with Ankmairdor, we took a deep dive into pathfinding, and map analysis. And here is the edited version of yesterday's Undermind podcast - the 40th one - with Freakling, and Ankmairdor! https://makingcomputerdothings.com/the-undermind-episode-40/

My guests were McRave, and Dave Churchill. We talked about the SCHNAIL platform, seal clubbing, metagaming, and joked about Canada of course. Also, how to rate bots on a human vs. AI ladder - a favorite topic of mine. We revealed the secrets of the 12 Bay build. Memeing has been steadily intensified during the cast, and for some reason turnips were discussed.
And here is the edited version of Ep. 42: https://makingcomputerdothings.com/the-undermind-episode-41-2/ My guests were Hao Pan (author of Halo), and Dan Gant (author of PurpleWave/other PurpleBots). We talked about how to climb a bot ladder, a lot about SCHNAIL, and of course, the future of SSCAIT. Also, a SCHNAIL PLUSHIE that is fluffy and soft. We went really in-depth of bot development approaches, strategies, and the state of human vs. AI.
