One: The Game – A Superheroic Multiplayer Experience

I asked OpenAI’s GPT-3 to generate 31 different videogame ideas, one for each day of Blaugust, each dealing in some way with that particular day of the month. Here’s its idea for August 1st.

“One: The Game” is an online multiplayer game where you play as one of a group of super-powered beings who must work together to stop a madman from taking over the world.

The game is played in a third-person perspective, and you can choose to play as one of several different characters, each with their own unique abilities.

You’ll need to use your powers to defeat enemies and solve puzzles as you make your way through the game’s levels. The game’s characters have an unusual collection of powers, including the ability to fly, super strength, and the ability to control the elements. You’ll need to use these powers to defeat enemies, solve puzzles, and progress through the game’s levels.

The game is designed to be played with friends, so you’ll need to work together in order to succeed. And if you don’t have friends, the game can be played solo with the help of AI companions.

The developers of the game promise to deliver additional live content that will allow you to name and raise a pet, as well as take on new challenges. Once the pet becomes an adult, it can be used in battle to help you defeat enemies.

Unlike other games in the superhero genre, “One: The Game” does not feature combat between players. Instead, the focus is on working together to complete the game’s objectives. Those objectives include rescuing hostages, disarming bombs, and defeating the game’s final boss, who, in a dramatic twist, turns out to be the player’s own pet.

The game is a sequel of sorts to the Super Nintendo’s single player action game, “One: Kagayake! Kuruneko”, which is remembered in the present day by its groundbreaking use of cel-shaded graphics.

Blaugust, the Super Hero in “One”.

I named the first character I created in “One”, “Blaugust”. Blaugust is a superhero who has the ability to control plants. She can make them grow, wilt, and bloom with just a thought. She often uses her powers to help people in need, whether it’s by growing food for them or creating a beautiful garden to lift their spirits. Blaugust is a kind and compassionate hero who always tries to see the best in people.

Blaugust’s costume is mainly green and brown, to represent her connection to nature. She wears a leafy cape and has a vine-like symbol on her chest. Her boots are made of tough bark, and she has leaves in her hair. Blaugust is always ready to take on whatever challenges come her way! When danger calls, Blaugust is there to help! In her fight against the evil fire giants, she used her powers to create a wall of thorns that stopped them in their tracks. She’s also been known to use her abilities to help people in more everyday ways, like growing a massive sunflower to cheer up a sad little girl. No matter what the problem is, Blaugust will try her best to fix it!

One: The Game is currently available on Steam for $14.99.

  1. “…defeating the game’s final boss, who, in a dramatic twist, turns out to be the player’s own pet.”

    Woah!!! Spoilers!!!

    Making an OpenAI-GPT3 account later today. Looks like the perfect solution to those days when I’m too busy to blog!

  2. Dear AI, this was a really strong first attempt, but in the future you may want to refrain from spoiling the big twist at the end in your promotional materials. Love, A Player Who Will Now Pass on Raising a Pet and Thusly Fail to Have an End Game.

    • Somewhere, the AI is generating pictures of kittens crying.

      This wasn’t the twist I was expecting, but I let it stand because it was just so out there 🙂

  3. Would totally play… whilst crying over my poor pet. And probably feeling guilty that I did something to turn it into the Big Bad!

  4. “super-powered beings who must work together to stop a madman from taking over the world.”
    Haven’t madmen been running the world for some time now?
    Great idea for a series of posts by the way. Looking forward to how this pans out.

    • Why don’t we see any stories of superpowered madmen who are running the world to just retire and give peace a chance or anything? I guess that would be way too unrealistic.

    • Probably because, in many cases, it was. I have to be really careful because it WILL start talking about some real game.
