Trudvang Legends: Bad Game, Good Multiplayer Book

A five year old Kickstarter that still hasn't fully delivered, Trudvang Legends was already redesigned once from the ground up. Unfortunately, it still isn't all that good.

Great review. Well explained and I appreciate your efforts to avoid spoilers

When Ii was a kid, Choose Your Own Adventure books were the Gospels by which every boy I knew lived and died. I've often thought it would be neat to have a Choose Your Own Adventure-type, well... 'adventure' online. A movie that would offer you choices and then take you to the option you chose via a link to further your adventure. When YT came along I thought that it would be the perfect medium for it, but then everything became monetized and advert-choked. Maybe an Amazon Prime or Netflix playground would be better suited for it. You make the calls and I'll sign the checks when the money comes pouring in. The book being pixelated made me think of two things -- The 1st was the hint book that came with Zork for the C64 that had the little highlighter. If you got stuck, you could look up where you were and then run the highlighter over the blank area underneath your query ("How do I open the mailbox?") and the answer would appear. That way you weren't tempted to look at every other Q&A on those two pages. Genius if you ask me. The 2nd thing it made me think of involves a, um... 'star' named Hitomi Tanaka. GR, AA!

Ah, a man of taste :) I believe Netflix already tried a choose your own adventure thing for Black Mirror, did you try that? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mirror:_Bandersnatch Also, given the output quality of Sora from OpenAI that was demoed yesterday, I think a dynamically generated TV series is closer than you'd thing. Absolute incredible how far video AI has come in just a year or so. The future is utterly terrifying!
