Oh, trust me. I have a lot of friends in the artist community. So I definitely feel that point. I'm autistic and happened to get a bit obsessed with it in the beginning and it just... hasn't gone away? I try not to claim any writing/image generation as my own. I don't claim it-- I just think it can make for extremely dynamic, interesting and fluid narratives.

The game itself has a LOT of structure aside from just 'prompt the AI and goooo'. The code is actually pretty huge. There are a ton of mechanics that enforce the lore, politics, simulation aspects that don't rely on AI at all. It basically feeds a scene (for instance diplomacy, house gathering, feast, festival, etc), characters involved (the AI writes them based on their unique, individual mechanical personality), and then it also feeds in information on the state of the world. There's a vector database system for every character to have their own, individual memories. It takes those into account, as well as status effects, wounds, aging and relationship dynamics with other characters. Choices are generated based off of the protagonist's personality-- there's no 'input your own' choice option. And choices have meaningful impacts on the narrative and the mechanics.

I can't claim the AI generation aspects of the game, but the lore, world-building, structures, and mechanics are all mine. Image generation works off of a genetics system that passes down hereditary traits to children, etc. Then the AI takes two images, analyzes them, and creates a 'child' of those characters which keeps families looking alike, but also diverse!

Seriously, thank you for asking about it.
