SHINAN'S PROFILE

The more pertinent question is how did you find it? Do you often peruse porn sites for their OST collections?

On the topic of AI
It's very frustrating that programming game AI is no longer considered AI in its own right. The new AI technology (often used unethically) is stealing the name "AI" and devalues the creative effort of the programmer who codes game AI.

This is quite true. We should call these algorithms what they are. Glorified autocomplete.

i want an invite if anyone has

Edit: Thank you Darken

You specified that this library is going to be EARLY in the game. If so, then too much lore definitely runs an extremely high risk of being ignored or just being completely meaningless to the player. They probably won't care or find the lore as interesting as you the writer.

They are much more likely to enjoy or care about reading lore if it's much later into the game and lot of interesting things have already happened. Then they might actually be interested in finding out more details about various things in the world, once they have more context.

I actually think that putting a thing like this early in the game is an important way of teaching the player that reading a bunch of random books in the game is optional. Like in Pillars of Eternity I remember there being a bunch of random kickstarter-stories everywhere and a lot of them were frontloaded in the first area and after reading through like five or six I quickly realized that these were just random fluff that wasn't actually important so it taught me that it was okay to skip.

A library filled to the brim with long text files is a tutorial showing the player that there's plenty of stuff in the game and that you don't have to interact with all of it just because it glows when you mouseover it.
