This is why it's ok if my games don't blow up on launch day.

Even if my games don't make tons of money, there will be a handful of players who absolutely love each one. None of them are failures.

Versu Character AI for Interactive Stories

then you should look at versu.com, the engine behind Blood and Laurels.

A very interesting experiment, but the plug was pulled rather suddenly. But there are some research papers and descriptions of the system still available that I've found fascinating.

Expelled and Overboard have a certain level of procedural assembly and arrangement of pre-written scenes. Not sure I'd call it full procgen.

I wish Blood and Laurels hadn't been discontinued, it looked like a fascinating procgen experiment.

The "Opus Aureum" guidebook is not the same as the Sefirot art book: it's a totally new book of Tarot information and Dioscorian lore! πŸ˜€

And the thing is, when they DO fund stuff, that shit makes money.

The only shit that's failing miserably is shit run by a bunch of guys who worked at AAA studios trying to make competitive multiplayer games. For some reason, publishers keep funding these, and they fall apart immediately.

Silicon Dreams | cyberpunk interrogation on Steam It’s 2065, and you are an interrogator-model android tasked with rooting out deviants among your own kind. You must probe for lies, monitor and exploit emotional spikes, earn the trust of your subject...

Not the focus of your post, but if you like those kinds of games, I made one where you can be kind to the robots!

store.steampowered.com/app/1272070/...

The catch is that you're also a robot and if you aren't sneaky you'll get switched off.

🚨🚨 Trump MURDERED an ICU nurse THEN called him a terrorist!

Alex Pretti saved lives for a living!!

Trump repaid this American citizen by pumping 10 BULLETS into him and is now lying about it

Anyone who supports this brutal lynching should be considered an accomplice and dealt with accordingly 🚨🚨

I'm writing the guidebook for this!

The tarot research is wonderful. Spent the morning cataloguing colour meanings and seeing connections across cards I'd never seen before 🀯
