Using AI seemed like the perfect tool to build cyberpunk video games, so I made one! Adventure visual novel, tons of handcrafted stories and characters, augmented with AI!

Hey guys, so a few more things about this game:
It’s a retro text adventure game with a twist: while a lot of work has been put into the writing, each place and character has been augmented with AI. Which means that you can go “off script” and ask any question you want, go wherever you want to go. There’s been a lot of work to get the AI to write and generate coherent textual and visual content so that the world feels “real”, and I’m pretty proud on how well it works.

As I said, I never created a video game before, this is just a cool idea (I thought) that I had, and it was ton of fun to create a whole world from scratch and being able to generate illustrations on the fly. It’s still a work in progress, I’ve got nothing to sell, I’m just excited about the future of gaming. I hope you are too! Things are going to get WILD.
