Now for them to train it on not just the two image files (landscape and screenshot) but also include the 3D block data file that generated the screenshot. Do that one in reverse and turn landscape paintings into explorable in-game content.

It feels a bit silly to post my own stuff here but I guess I've done it before so eh, here goes: I've been feeding some sci-fi, fantasy and harlequin book titles to a markov chain -style algorithm (two different ones, actually) and here are some that I found funny:

"Bid for Married!: Best Marriage by Chase" is definitely a poorly-translated anime title.

Noctis is a simulation from the year 2000 in which you play a lone interstellar explorer. You use your alien spaceship to warp to, land on and catalogue star systems, planets and moons across a unique galaxy. While suffering from technical limitations such as invisible walls and similar landscapes, there is enough variety and surprise in these star systems to provoke your imagination and wonder. A shared catalogue allows you to fill in the gaps and post reports of your journeys. Billions of stars and billions of planets give enough space for your explorations to be unique and special. There is nothing like traveling in uncharted space before coming across a note left by some previous explorer years ago. I played Noctis through my formative internet years in the early/mid 2000s. The creator was a reclusive figure who suffered from depressive moods, which permenated the atmosphere of the game. Noctis is cited as an inspiration for later popular games such as Minecraft, No Man's Sky and Dwarf Fortress. Users of the simulation discovered Noctis through Home of the Underdogs. Once that site went under, there wasn't an influx of new players. The community forum grew stagnant and is now only really active through a play-by-post cyberpunk roleplaying game which has been going for.. a number of years now. The website is anywherebb.com if anybody wants to check it out. Maybe I'm personally biased, but I find it difficult to understand why this game didn't blow up more. The pie-in-the-sky description of the eventual No Man's Sky is ripped straight from Noctis. Only Noctis pulled it off. I mean, I get it. The controls are weird and its nerdy. The visuals look like you are seeing the universe through the eyes of a depressed cat who has taken acid poorly. But thats where the charm lay. I don't know. This game sure meant a lot to me when I was 14. It evoked some pretty dark nights of the soul as i flew through a strange crystal galaxy powered by my teenage 1979 angst. It definitely has left a slight illegible mark on art games today. I don't expect anybody to wrangle a working copy into starting up today. But i do enjoy the memory of this purple tinged neurotic dream cat of procedural code.

Reminds me of Captain Blood which was a pretty weird game where you explored a galaxy looking for the eponymous captain or something. The manual was just a single sheet of paper & there are pretty much no in-game hints I spent a lot of time just aimlessly visiting identical planets and talking to weird aliens using an icon-based system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cm1K-tMkHc&t=329s Sometimes the aliens seem pretty intelligent, other times they're spouting pure nonsense. I don't know how much is algorithmic though.

The book markov chain dataset ended up being oddly lucrative and while it's really rewarding to generate more funny book titles, I'm having a hard time figuring out where to show them. This thread feels like the best bet so I'll post more here; I'll try to refrain from clogging up the thread since it's not super active, though.  In other procedural generation news, here's a cool noise-to-shapes thing: https://twitter.com/NathanPilla/status/996965380433178624 There's some describing of the mechanism behind it in the replies.

Lemme tell you, buddy. MMP: Honeymoon is NOT what you'd expect. No spoilers, but Interpol is involved at one point.

Dumb Lowtax posted:Man Seeking to Script Happy Ending is too perfect to be made by some dumb computer Well, as usual with markov chains there's a large amount of cherrypicking present. For what it's worth, I think "Man Seeking Script To Happy Ending" is possibly made up of these actual titles (though there are some other options): Man Shy Outback Man Seeks Wife Desperately Seeking Annie Shooting Script Postscript To Yesterday Passport To Happiness Year's Happy Ending The engine always makes sure that n previous letters exist somewhere in the source material; I think in this case n was 5 (I had defined it as 6, but the code was dumbly formatted so that the yet-to-be-generated letter is included in the 6, I think). So for example when the engine had generated up to "Man Seek", it picks the next letter by looking at the 5 previous letters, in this case " Seek", which could result in either 'e' (Seeker), 's' (Seeks) or 'i' (Seeking). Looks like there are two books with 'Seeker' in the dataset so that'd be a 1/4 chance of going towards "Seeking". I hope you're not accusing me of making that up, though  EDIT: Was going to come back to edit out that last bit but I guess it's immortalized now, haha vv Hempuli has a new favorite as of 11:29 on May 22, 2018 |

The manual was just a single sheet of paper & there are pretty much no in-game hints I spent a lot of time just aimlessly visiting identical planets and talking to weird aliens using an icon-based system. Yes, it was pretty awesome, but it was hardly procedural... it did a great job at faking it though! And I would like to see a more modern approach to that system. There were aliens spouting nonsense but they were just it... and then there were intelligent NPCs. Unfortunately save for randomized positions and 5 randomized starting point it had little "procedural". The biggest procedural part was just the canyon approach section with the final planet rendering, which was quite advanced for the time. Some of the nonsense-spouting aliens in the game had a role that was along the lines of "fetch quest items" that you unlocked by talking to a guy. The system for talking with intelligent aliens instead was quite advanced for the time, not being just a "dialog tree", but yet it was based on variable condition checking (and setting) and pattern matching rules.

Give it a read: Example of flesh coloured amorphous blobs meant to representing difference between intelligence (problem solving) and minds (people). Researchers are not even interesting. Space Engine is one of the most part those worlds are pretty much impossible stories out of his project? I can't find any.
