I'm experimenting with ChatGPT and figured, hey, maybe it can make a game and maybe it won't be the worst thing in the world?
While I'm coming up with all of the prompts and formatting, I will be letting ChatGPT do most of the rules creation and writing. Is that ok? I'll give them co-writer credit and all.
For example, after giving ChatGPT a pile of prompts for generating some mechanics and providing a little background, I tossed out the following prompt and got this response:
Describe the setting of the cyberpunk FISHBLADE world.
The setting of the cyberpunk FISHBLADE world is a dystopian future where technology has advanced significantly, but at the cost of widespread social and economic inequality. The world is dominated by large corporations that have immense power and control over the population. The government has been subsumed by these corporations, and the line between public and private interests has become blurred.
The cities in this world are sprawling metropolises, where towering skyscrapers and neon lights are the norm. The streets are crowded and dangerous, with high levels of crime and poverty. The wealthy live in fortified compounds, protected from the harsh realities of the world outside.
The internet and virtual reality have become ubiquitous, and many people spend much of their time in virtual worlds. Hacking and cybercrime are rampant, and skilled hackers, known as Netrunners, are in high demand.
Advanced technology has also led to the development of cybernetic enhancements, which allow people to improve their physical and mental abilities. However, these enhancements are expensive and not widely available, leading to a divide between the "haves" and "have-nots".
Finally, the annual Fishblade tournament is a major event in this world, where fighters from all walks of life compete to be crowned champion. The tournament is a brutal and deadly event, with the champion being awarded fame, fortune, and power.
I mean, the final will be more FISHBLADE heavy of course, but you can see some of what I'm working with here. Well, when ChatGPT is working.
