Every 'horror' trick we do is in the demo. It's more about a dread atmosphere than jump scares and the likes.

You could try the demo?

We were very deep into development before we ever heard of Blue Prince. Lovely game but had literally no influence on Blake Manor.

Thanks. I am that schmuck, yes.

Lovely listen, thanks.

Great thumbnail, too.

How did it all end? (is the answer rapidly and tragically?)

They want to pump out one thousand bits of content a day, so even if you are tricked into clicking on 1% they make 💰💰💰

Oh yes. The only people pushing are the people trying to make money off it.

I also think that no machine could talk honestly about the topics in the game. Faith, oppression, generational trauma, suicide, loss, miscarriage, etc. no machine can portray those pains but people can. People have lived them. Our team has lived them.

There was no worthy use case. And all our writers - get this - like writing. They would prefer to write those stories or papers or whatever than have a machine do it, even if the result was good.

Thanks Jay! Yeah, I'll be honest I thought about ways it could be useful. At one point we discussed generating a bunch of short ghost stories or scientific papers to add into the game but the feeling was largely why? If they were useful they needed handcrafting. And if not useful... Just filler?

I'm one of the team, yeah. Thanks for giving it a shot!
