Story Generator

Published on April 6, 2009 By Servius In WOM Ideas

Hey Brad & Dev team,

I remember reading about a sweet feature that was going to be in the GC2 expansions. It was some feature that would conjure up a story for you. This story was generated from the gameplay you experienced and all the stuff that had happened in your game. But, I do remember you guys putting that feature on the back burner because it was becoming complicated or their was some issue, I can't remember why.

I was just wondering if this feature was going to be included into Elemental or perhaps your saving it for GC3? It just seems like it would fit this game well and be a sweet thing to read after you had just finished saving the land..or destroying it.

I am extremely curious about this still after all those months ago when it being mentioned dissapeared. So, any answer would be appreciated and if any one in the community knows please respond as well.

If the game was playable in a window (or alt-tab friendly), I could use any text editor. If it was or even if it wasn't, I would be able to use pen and paper too. Or just my memory (altough in my case it's of selective nature which isn't very good). But if it's not a lot of trouble, I would prefer an in-game tool that allows me to record details in a text form: be it events or just some kind of diary (or just to write a note to myself for the next time I continue that game). Not that I wouldn't like it with some more features I have in mind but something basic would be fine.

As I said, if it's not a lot of trouble. (It wouldn't need to be on release in any case)

Yes, an even log will be 100x easier to implement than a story generator....and the notes ides should be doable (just add an empty 'Event' wher eyou get to fill in the details...then you even get the timeline of when the note was posted).

Awesome. That would make me very happy.

Ah well. I'm glad something good has come out of my stirring up of bad memories.

I bet the event log would also be useful for trouble-shooting, too. If games were crashing, you could consult the event log to see if somehow the event triggered the crash.
