Hello. C J here. In the process of setting up Infinity Game Studios I have learned or come across a ton of useful knowledge. My game Monad is a top down pixel game with a self-generating script. I’ve got all of the core design on the script done. See my previous post The Mathematics of Monad for details. I need to write all of the individual dialogue and narration but the generation structure is done. This might be the best way I could find of getting all the random useful knowledge I have into a product.
Most of this knowledge is in broad concepts and not individual facts. I’ll give some examples here. What a fursona is, how sleep and spirituality interact, what is lucid dreaming, how to do the scientific method, what jobs go well with coffee, how I exercise without weights or a gym and how to spend a whole day shopping for almost no money. I think a procedural story would work with these as some of its skills or gameplay options. I have no idea how you craft them in the game but we’ll see.

I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...
