[[< Back|name]] "Infinite Elevator Neighbors: Rise of Joker(s)" unfolds as a hypertext fiction entangled in a loop. The initial inspiration emerged from the awkward interactions in the elevator, portraying a protagonist embarking on an elevator ride with their neighbors. To accentuate the absurdity of small talk and uncomfortable exchanges, middle-aged men who enjoy crafting dad jokes are introduced as the neighbors. Despite the apparent linearity of the story, the descending floor numbers on each page reveals that it is, in fact, a loop activated whenever a new "man" enters the elevator. The dad jokes, randomly selected from an array, contribute to generating a unique set of humorous exchanges with each iteration. Oblique Strategies I chose five Oblique Strategies cards, including "You don’t have to be ashamed of using your own ideas," "Go outside. Shut the door," "Is it finished," "Emphasizing repetition," and "Distorting time." Rather than treating these cards in isolation, I integrated them collectively to shape the initial narrative. For instance, the first card influenced the development of the "man's" character, portraying him unapologetically sharing dad jokes. The second and last cards played a pivotal role in establishing the temporal and spatial dimensions of the narrative, creating an atmosphere where the protagonist is "stuck" in the elevator, experiencing a slowed and seemingly infinite passage of time due to the incessant dad jokes. The third and fourth cards contributed to crafting an ending where the conversation loops indefinitely, remaining unfinished. Crowdsourcing The dad jokes in this game are randomly picked from an array that contains jokes crowdsourced from twitter, reddit, and other various parts of the web. Crowdsourcing ensured a rich collection that resonates broadly and enhances the game's comedic elements. Botnic/ Predictive Writer The tool played a crucial role in generating the game's title, "Infinite Elevator Neighbors: Rise of Joker(s)." Leveraging the "video game title generator" model, I used this tool to encapsulate the essence of the game. The result is a title that captures the intrigue and humor embedded in the narrative. Anagram Generator I employed an Anagram Generator to derive interesting wordplay, creating anagrams such as "Artist - Straight" and "Elevator - Tea Lover" These anagrams were then seamlessly woven into the narrative to introduce characters, whose identity and interests were playfully hinted at through these linguistic twists. “I am an artist, and a tea lover” CharNG The CharNG model became a valuable tool for reshaping selected lines of dialogue for the neighbor character. By cutting off clutter words, I achieved a distinctive video game-like tone for the character. The lines generated, such as "The life of a genius artist is so lonely because nobody can touch my heart!" and "Because I am you," added depth and uniqueness to the character's voice. N+7 The N+7 model played a role in shaping the dialogue between two neighbors, resulting in exchanges like, “You are the only one that can make me shed tears of laugh” met with the response, “I want to sheen tearaways like you”. This language model added a creative twist to the conversation, introducing a whimsical and surreal element. [[< Back|name]]
