Developer banteg shares his experience coding with the Argon model: it's over-the-top and gets ahead of itself, unable to implement its own grandiose plans — but its unusual nature makes it a fun collaborator that helps unlock your own ideas. Result: his game now has volumetric erythrocyte subsurface scattering and realtime coagulation simulation.
