This is so freaking cool. I just had a large war leading an army as a noble only to have my castle destroyed. After I rebuilt it and went to sleep, I woke up to check my phone messages and called all my missed calls.

I'm cracking up at the Assassin's Creed time warp loop it through me.

Hopefully this can be integrated into full games someday, it's so much more open-ended than any game I've ever seen, despite the enormous plot flaws.

I'm glad you loved it! Yeah there's definitely points where the coherence breaks down, but it's an awesome proof of concept of what's possible in future games and pretty fun in its own right.

You'd need a GPU as good as the ones google colab offers which is a 12GB NVIDIA Tesla K80. You'd also need cuda and tensorflow installed.

Thanks. Quite amusing that the most GPU-intensive game I want to run on my computer is a text adventure :)

I never thought about that, but that is pretty funny haha.

I turned this into a Nicolas Cage simulator very quickly:

You accept Nic Cage's invitation and become part of his noise band. You soon learn that Nic Cage is a bit of a loose cannon. His shows often end in chaos and he doesn't care one way or another about the people he's hurting. But he sure does love music

  You walk through the woods for several minutes, before you come across a large
   group of orcs. They are all sitting around a fire, drinking ale and eating meat
   strips.
  "Hey! What are you doing here? We were supposed to go kill some giants!" one
   of them exclaims
  > kill the orcs

  You quickly turn around and shoot an arrow into each orc's chest, killing them
   instantly. You then run over to the campfire and stab yourself repeatedly in
   the stomach with a knife, before finishing off by shooting another arrow into
   your heart
Hmmm.

With the warning that it will be able to read any of my Google data, I don't think it's worth trying. Why can't it be completely sandboxed? Why do I even need to be logged in anyway?

The reason it needs to be logged in is because Google Colab is a free service that Google provides allowing people to run code on expensive GPU servers. It doesn't cost you anything and I don't store any information from your google account when you run it.

It's just unfortunate that there is an ominous warning with no specificity. The only way I could hope to know what of my Google data is being used is to somehow read your project code.

Of course I don't expect that you have any interest in my data, but there's still a granularity problem here regarding access.

Since it seems the general population is becoming less and less able to read stories or information consisting of more than one thought or layer of abstraction, grammatically reasonable strings of words like these may satisfy plenty of people. Indeed, modern television and televised "news" seems to be no more impressive than this. But to me, this makes very little sense. It almost connects, but probably only because…

I agree with you that this doesn't reach near the level of good human authors. There's no long term plot or deep human themes in this. I don't think this will ever replace quality human writing, but it may be able to augment it in cool ways. I personally would love if rather than every guard in Skyrim telling the exact same story, if each guard could have their own stories or comments generated based on things about…

I'm not bashing your effort. From the posts I've seen showing the content, it is quite impressive. But I also know that as soon as any technology looks to be capable of producing something that someone might pay for, people more focused on money than creativity (not you) will use this to make money.

It's a bit like modern pop music. We are well beyond the point where software can not only write the music, but even take the once human voice and recreate it to sing the song. Of course it's not great, if one were to really listen - but it is passable, and it makes money. So it drowns out the remaining bits of real human creativity.

Yeah sorry. I don't know if there's anyway around it. Google colab is simply the best way to give people a chance to play the game without having to pay money or do complicated technical set up.

The state of the world doesn't seem to be consistent between actions. Got stuff like "someone calls out to you" -> say hello -> "person notices you for the first time and says 'I didn't see you there' " And stuff like "There is someone to your left" -> go right -> "you go right towards the person". Also sometimes the game seems to do something completely different from what I say. Is it actually reacting to my comman…

I think the secret to playing this is to not treat it like a fantasy simulator, the way most games are. The logic you need to apply is dream logic, not fantasy logic. This makes you very powerful, but the result is not entirely predictable, like a fever dream or a hallucination.
