simplex Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Here's a writing task for ya: worldgen strings. They work by specifying a list of strings, with an arbitrary number of them. Then they are randomly chosen, shown until worldgen ends. But I don't think we should have too many of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplex Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Having too many of them seems to break our worldgen screen, so I agree. Nah, that could always be fixed. What I see as the real issue in having too many is that it'll be hard to express a general feeling for a cohesive whole. Depending on the random picks, the phrases may become too biased towards some topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidneyBeanBoy Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Deploying double rainbows.Replacing static batteries.Assembling skeletons.Eating Planting marshmallowsPlease turn off all electronic devices. those are awesome!

simplex Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 those are awesome! (But you do know the nouns and the verbs are matched up randomly, right? We can easily change that. I personally don't like this random matching, since it restricts too much the writing to get an end result making some sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDanaAddams Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I think the non-sequiturs that arise from random matching are the most amusing thing about it, personally. "Assembling Marshmallows""Please turn off Double Rainbows" That stuff just makes me giggle. x3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeoSS69 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 But anyway, shouldn't this thread be untagged as "Developer only"?

simplex Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Was thinking on taking suggestions for quotes from the suggestions thread, but here works anyway. I'm fine both ways. It's more developer oriented, sure. But since we made a general move of removing the tag from the other developmental threads, I think it'd be nice to not make this the exception.

lifemare Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I can do some quotes if it's okay with you guys owo I shouldn't be liking that, since you shouldn't feel you need to ask permission to help on an open collab, specially with a fine title like Storyteller next to your name, but i like the good manners, and i love the offer! :^D ...Maybe the OP could use a little more welcoming warmth?

Spazmatic Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Is Maxwell still in need of quotes aswell(my mobile is being iffy hence I cannot read the doc and gotta go in a bit)?
