I'm loving the revival of text adventures, especially in the GenAI area (less so in social media, but, still). I used to play Zork a lot (lol in the 2000s though, on linux and it was the coolest thing).
I've made a series of sci-fi gen-ai text adventure games, https://cosmictrip.space/gameannouncement where GPT is the game and DALL-E can visualize for you, inspired by other similar projects. (the game is a bit buggy if you refresh, and signups limited to gmail as I had to combat some LLM-abuse spam (also why there is no free-form text box right now, as there SHOULD BE))
Totally agree. I recently did a livestream/tutorial building a choose your adventure with llama 2 and React and had genAI for characters. A lot of fun! Hoping to add loot and fights in my next stream about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPbM5Rs1_8Y&t=16s
I played with a version where the AI creates the text and the options, but trying to add a new mechanic (you have to select, in the text, two words that unlock each option).
