Hey folks. For the last few months it has been a struggle to properly document and record my projects on this blog... so here's an attempt to do so!
-Over the course of the quarantine I ran a weird scifi westmarches game over Discord (with some absolutely wonderful folks) called Interdimensional Voyages, which was partially automated via a Discord Bot. We've finished what I'm calling "Season 1", and "Season 2" will ideally start back up when I have more time and energy. More posts on this to follow.
-Max Cantor of Weird and Wonderful Worlds recently interviewed me! We cover topics like emerging trends in RPGs, automation of games, and ADD and mental health! (On this topic, I am considering writing posts on how my ADD and mental health has affected my participation in the TTRPG scene.)
-I'm working on a new project whose size and scope are swiftly ballooning, for better or for worse. Here's the mind map of the current rendition:
It's a multiplayer cooperative game about founding a settlement in a dark fantasy/horror world (then going on adventures to keep it alive), with high (dwarf fortress-esque) levels of procedural generation, that will be fully automated through a discord bot.
That's about everything for now, more detailed posts on individual topics to follow.
Wishing you all the best,
-Saker
That new game sounds dope! I'm interested in this discord automation aspect. Have you documented that any where on your blog?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have a couple posts (that are still under construction) that will cover my adventures in Discord automation in greater detail!
DeleteHuhhh... when you say discord bot automation, do you mean something like:
ReplyDelete"Bot, give me the next hex"
"Sure thing boss, it's a [insert hex description here]."
Or something different?
I'm talking more like the bot can run an entire game on its own!
