Oh damn, Yarnspinner may have just leapt ahead of the competition.

The Yarn Spinner folks have built another fantastic narrative tool. Story Solver is built to help answer the questions… • Can everything be seen? • Can everything be completed? …with Math! Because manual testing takes A. Lot. Of. Time. Your QA team will thank you.

A Producer's Delight: Formally Provable Narrative
Story Solver is a tool for narrative designers that helps you plan, write, and test your game's story. Brought to you by the same team that built the open-source narrative tools behind award-winning games like Night in the Woods, Dredge and Venba, Story Solver lets you create the branching paths of your story, and then uses automated reasoning to ensure that every part of your story is reachable by the player in some way. Using this approach, Story Solver can take any point in your story and produce a save-game file for it.

In this talk, we'll take a deep dive into how to use automated reasoning and theorem provers to create a complex, intertwined story. We'll then mathematically prove that it contains no problems. This is not hyperbole.

Jon and Tim, with a slide showing expanding brain meme:

-Test everything manually
-Identify and test specific paths
-Implement stochastic methods
-Solve for every possible universe

I only ever used yarnspinner with Unity. Any luck in their discord though?

Anyone have any experience integrating YarnSpinner into their Godot projects? And if so, how easy was the process? #Godot #gamedev #writing

TW: arachnophobia Yarnspinner is an archefey who resembles an enormous spider. Hes actually benevolent & obsessed with stories. In fact, hes amassed quite a collection of storybooks which he keeps in silk sacks & reads to the animals in his Domain. WotC is burying the lead on big spider nanny...

the joker is fool, clown, harlequin, dragonslayer, mad tyrant, Tom O'Bedlam, blackadder, and yarnspinner. the idea of jokerpilled is incoherent. a concrete human cannot contain his manic multiplicity, so we have to share.

Hard to say. There are so many I've enjoyed playing. Maybe at some point I'll make a video of all the voices I've done...from Scottish korreds, to Obud as the oldest creature in the world...the contrasts of Witch & Light...and the last minute decision to include Yarnspinner and voice him as Ed Wynn.
