Dialogue and Memory

Characters have "memory" Each character has a dictionary of what they know about an noun

Who/What/Where/When/Why + Noun

That means that when an unfamiliar noun comes up in conversation, they may ask questions to develop the dialogue and increase their memory.

They also have 'feelings' toward objects or nouns.

Love/Hate/Confusion/Anger/Sadness + Noun

These 'memories' are what drives dialogue.

Relationships

Relationships are also generated for characters.

Examples: Brother/Sister/Co-worker/Friend/Idol/Leader/Rival/etc.

Plot Points

Each plot point contains a subset of the world state, like a checkpoint for the story that describes some key things that have to occur by that point. It is defined by certain locations, items, or knowledge that certain characters must have.

Plot Lines

Plot lines are the actual paths between each point. They contain specific events. Events are limited to 4 types:

• Dialogue between party and NPCs
• Dialogue between party and party

Simulation

PlotLine(Goblin Encounter) -> [action(Bob, stab, [Goblin]), action(Goblin, die), action(Bob, loot, [Goblin])]
