I'm at GDC until Wednesday! Say hi if you see me!

I'm hyperfixating on associating each major Tarot arcana to a different #PCG technique (eg. markov chains, genetic algs, cellular automata) and it's working surprisingly well??

I have a lot of empty spots, so please tell me the name of some techniques that you like 👁️🃏

Can you do history generation without simulating some of the historical processes at work?

The focus of "narrative generation" is so often the novel and the focus of that is then the surface text

Doing history generation and seeing other examples, you are kind of stuck creating processes

We may want to see LLMs as a much more pure form of information. But it’s probably a better to think of LLM companies as just another type of media company

As someone with too many degrees for my own good and who has taught writing to students

genuinely the most important thing is just writing a lot, reading a lot, and being reflective on what you experience

there are no shortcuts

Created a spreadsheet to calculate the breakeven point for your game and at what point you can live off of it.
Explanation how it works in the video, link to the spreadsheet in the video desc.

Nothing quite feels like seeing one of your twines get a couple of downloads then a few days later ALL of the other ones also get downloaded

Also my twine which won the most amorous astronauts award from Spring Thing this year is 1 download away from 100!
