Most people didn't realize #Midjourney has a research preview of an interactive fiction platform called #Dramamancer. You can turn any of your MJ images into a playable game — set the key story beats as the author. An AI narrator will improvise the story as players explore. Link: storytelling-dev.midjourney.…

A lot of people don't realize Midjourney has a research preview of an interactive fiction platform called Dramamancer. You can turn any of your MJ images into a playable game — set the key story beats as the author, edit it, and share it out. From there an AI narrator improvises the story as players explore by typing what they want to do. Link: storytelling-dev.midjourney.… #Midjourney #Dramamancer

Open-sourced the no-UI 2D animation agent now. Prompt Codex + upload an image -> game-ready sprite sheet, live preview, and auto-composite onto a 2D scene background. No video gen model. No manual Spine workflow. github.com/NO6KIKO/gorest-2d…

Thanks so much for sharing!!
no way this is actually free someone quietly dropped a 2D animation agent -> takes your image and prompt -> spits out game-ready sprites -> places them on a scene background automatically no-UI agent. fully open source. runs locally. works without a video model.

Dear friends, I'm happy to share that I've finally moved to SF! It's been over 5 years of studying, learning, and growing in London. I finished my master's, my PhD at @RCA, and my early career as an artist and researcher. I'm fresh to the Bay Area — if you're around and interested in: AI×Gaming, media arts, AI creativity support tools, and HCI research... please drop me a message! My website: fakecheese.me/
