Phenomenal showing by the Narrative Intelligence Lab at #AIIDE25! @sgware.bsky.social, Molly Siler, Gage Birchmeier, and Lasantha Senanayake presented a bevy of interesting research talks on interactive narrative. It's particularly exciting to see where the DC scholars are headed!

Lovely speedruning AI in PICO-8 by @mtrc.bsky.social and @mastermilkx.bsky.social. I'm very much looking forward to this work going forward (I teach a Game Platforms class in PICO-8; I love running the FF4 Free Enterprise randomizer ff4fe.com). So meany neat notes in this #EXAG contribution!

I'm looking forward to checking out MicroTales from Molly Siler, @sgware.bsky.social, Gage Birchmeier, Mira Fisher and Lasantha Senanayake from this years #INT workshop. It looks like a neat event-level narrative planner with a simulation environment complete with support for custom extensions!

Amorphous Fortress by @mastermilkx.bsky.social is interesting! ASCII art interactive experience featuring story sifting, grammar extraction, base story construction, story generation, and evolution for story generation (with hints of minstrel); all so you can tell just about any story you want! #INT

I did that exact exercise at AU in 2016 :) Same results: I had fun, students did not.

I kinda want to host a AI-based game design salon. Our imaginary needs some juicing.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun plays in my local watering hole. There are precisely zero girls having fun. Seems appropriate for the day.

Jaguar just updated their logo. I’m glad they didn’t go back to their 1940 logo. It’s something else.
