Dwarf Fortress has smashed this nut to smithereens. Too bad it requires significant computing resources and a huge amount of programming work to implement.
- mercer 10y agoSo you're saying that generating believable fictions is a tough nut to crack?
- 8_hours_ago 10y agoYes, I believe that generating believable fiction programatically is still difficult today. Lots has changed since Covert Action was developed (game size is no longer constrained by 3.5" floppies and computer performance is hugely improved), but generating believable story lines without lots of templates is still difficult.
