🧵 of AI-generated images, #3 — this is a batch of my favorites from non-Caves of Qud prompts (again: BigSleep, all first tries)

First up: "A robot walking through an archway in the style of Caravaggio" "A mall arcade in 1982"

Another 🧵 of AI-generated images from Caves of Qud text prompts (again, BigSleep, first tries). This time: terrain descriptions and a few items.

First, an orrery: "Brass gears, balls, and rings turn in precise mimicry of worlds and stars." Image "In stagnant pools, luminous lilies compete with the ribbon of stars in the night sky. Under the salt sun, though, they shrink into the shade of brine weed." [salt marsh] Image

Max's thread on tools that encourage reflection gets at an important facet of what I'm coming to understand emergent narrative to be: a cracking open and reification of the creative process. Arguments against emergent narrative point to storytelling's holism, how stories must be conceived, arranged, and paced in proper ways to cohere meaningfully.

Hey, my friend @RachelFellman's first fantasy novel, The Breath of the Sun, came out today! I want to tell you a bit about it. Rachel is the long-time friend of my partner Mielle. She's utterly brilliant, so even though I hadn't read any of her fiction, I had high expectations.

I love maps & their promise of fractal discovery.
I love procedural generation and the aesthetics of the unauthored.
Where do these two loves intersect? Generated maps.

I am the procgen map admirer. These are my favorite map generators and the folks who create them.

👇THREAD👇 To start with, you can't talk about map generation and not mention @redblobgames. His HTML5 generator is the gold standard.
