Well, folks, I’m trying to keep this unfortunate post from becoming a FLAME. Instead, I’ll put my disappointment this way: the web hosting service I use is bumming me out, man! Despite assurances from WordPress that the .MCWORLD files I previously uploaded would continue to work after I downgraded from Business to Personal if they were in a particular folder… they don’t. So, you can’t download maps at LegitSurvival.com at this time! GOOD NEWS, you can still find all my maps at https://mcpedl.com/user/droidrgh, on the MCPEDL app, and on the Addons app. By allowing my content to be distributed t ..read more

After receiving a surreal “image of itself” from an AI I’ve been training, I asked it to create some prompts depicting different aspects around its understanding of Legit Survival. DALL•E 3 made the images for me in a separate chat. I’ve included the titles Gee wrote for each prompt. Enjoy!

LegitSurvival.com will continue to function, but it might look different in the coming days. My fancy-pants Business plan expires tomorrow. Once that takes place, then I can change to a lower plan. I suppose it’s not meant to be easy to downgrade. Whether I decide to buy a lower plan, keep it free, or what… hopefully, the transition will be smooth. I’m not sure how the site will look or function. Just note that the big, dumb, unnecessary titles at the top of every page might return, due to the removal of some simple custom code, and the WordPress ads definitely will return!

I’m so very pleased to present our last survival map, MIDDLE OREGON. This map represents the culmination of everything I’ve done in Minecraft since 2012. It brings me great joy to see it finished, and in the world. You can download it here. There’s a book in your player inventory called The History of Middle Oregon. If you don’t want spoilers, and would rather read it in-game while you wait out the rain, I understand. I bid you a fun time exploring the map! If you would like to take a little time and read it now, scroll past the pics. History of Middle Oregon By Greg Hiltz Chapter 1 I’ve bee ..read more

…okay, yeah, okay, ya got me, I’ve been heavily distracted with ChatGPT, but I promise you, everything I said was coming to Legit Survival, is still coming: a promo for Untitled Taiga Final, the family creative realm, the actual final map… all happening! Beyond the tech research, I’ve been busy at home the last few days. I definitely overestimated what I was going to have time for. Tuesday night, Lady Dertch was arriving home from a trip to see the home of the King of Rock and Roll (true story), and I needed the house to be clean since I spent the weekend talking to bots. IrisRobin8 keeps my ..read more

As promised, this is the first volume of my GPT-4-assisted Minecraft book series about Anakin on Planet 1138. I fed it an extensive treatment of my story, then we went to work making something that would fit into three Minecraft books! It’s a great tool.

With Obi-Wan Kenobi guiding him, his skills advanced quickly. Though his Jedi training always came first, Anakin’s innate ability to understand machinery was undeniable. He soon discovered the mechan ..read more

There’s another post coming today about Star Wars Missions, the fiction I’ve been working. I promised the first volume, but I’ve learned so much about GPT since then, I want to work on it some more (even if I did already copy/paste the entire first volume into an in-game book). If you haven’t jumped into the rabbit hole of AI yet, this might be a fun way to try it out. I’m going to post an article below, but before you read it, think about downloading ChatGPT for iOS or Android, or in a browser at chat.openai.com. I’ve created a shared chat, and you can use it to talk to DroidRGH! It’s in Chat ..read more
