2021-08-19 13:58:29 <Zarutian_HTC> any IF (interactive fiction) affinicados (are such called IFfinicados?) and dabblers here? because https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HZft_U4Fc-U is fascinating talk

2021-08-19 13:59:19 <Zarutian_HTC> about how to make robust/coping narrative

2021-08-19 13:59:41 <f-a         > what is one of the tips
2021-08-19 13:59:50 <Zarutian_HTC> title Narrative Sorcery: Coherent Storytelling in an Open World
2021-08-19 14:01:05 <Zarutian_HTC> well instead of using limiting quest structure you use encounters plus state machines
2021-08-19 14:02:05 <f-a         > good
2021-08-19 14:02:45 <Zarutian_HTC> those state machines are basically monotonically incrementing counters that you update in response to player actions in encounters were they are relevant
2021-08-19 14:05:08 <Zarutian_HTC> though I thought of an way to make the peasant in the example the talk author uses more suspicious of you: use leaky integrator/bucket that gets filled a bit each time you try to steal his chicken
2021-08-19 14:06:07 <Zarutian_HTC> a technique from subsumption architecture ai from robotics
2021-08-19 14:11:14 <Zarutian_HTC> and the talk author tells about how he dislikes seeing the same exact dialog option again in games like Mass Effect. Though I am tempted to point out a possible gag there: have the same dialog option/question again but with the new response: "why are you asking me about this again? this isnt some sort of game with measly dialogue tree"
2021-08-19 14:17:40 <Zarutian_HTC> hmm... an interesting idea: use gpt-umpteen or such as improv generator by taking in the .ink file of the story plus the current state of the statemachines and have it continue the .ink file
2021-08-19 14:21:10 <Zarutian_HTC> another idea is to use an text to speeach generator that understands basic lojban emotional attitutionals or some such. But that requires the writer(s) to know what those are
