AutomatedArcania is an AI show I'm working on set in a game world. This project was heavily inspired by the "Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior" experiment (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfGcWGaO1E4).

The show follows four characters: Healer, Beserker, Mage, and Paladin as they quest through a magical fantasy world. The scenes are hand-crafted (for now) but the plot and scripts (Including scene interactions) for each scene are generated using a combination of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.

Not much is left before the project is launched. For now, the GPT output needs to be curated a bit more to make sure it's 100% kid-friendly, and the audio needs to be worked on to make the scenes and world feel more alive. Other minor effects might be added to the scene to make it feel more alive.

Each character has a personality and quirks that will persist throughout the show, and each episode will be reviewed and edited to make sure that the AI does not derail or produce offensive content, and the show will not be live for this reason as well (don't want a repeat of NothingForever).

I'm very pleased with the results of this project, and the show is planned to launch in 1-2 weeks over at http://youtube.com/@AutomatedArcania

I have uploaded a test episode over at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF6aiF8iU20 so you can see where the show is at currently, as well as the issues it has right now (like character positioning). Keep in mind that unlike the show, this test episode is unedited. Also while there is no adult content, I wouldn't personally consider it to be 100% kid friendly either yet.

There is more to be done, but I hope you enjoy the project, and I welcome any constructive feedback you have! This project will be worked on and improved continuously even after the show is launched.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk :3

I still have a bit to do before the show starts. Specifically, I need to work on audio. I like how the character's voices are done, but I think they're still a bit harsh. I also want to add background ambiance to each scene ...

Major update:

Lots of progress has been made as far as quality and consistancy is concerned. I still have more to do before the launch, but I am very optimistic.

Much better story progression. Characters get a quest, work towards that quest, and complete it.

Still need to do the audio work (music, ambiance, sound effects), and I haven't implemented the fight scenes yet, but this is a good showcase of what to expect with this series.
