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 27th: “The 27th Chamber”.
Number: 27. Genre: Metroidvania. Title: “The 27th Chamber”. Outline: You play as a member of an elite group of soldiers who are sent on a mission to investigate a strange energy signature emanating from an abandoned research facility.
Soon, you discover that the facility was researching interdimensional travel, and that you are now trapped in a strange world full of deadly creatures. Can you find the mysterious 27th Chamber, and your way back home?
Hello Major Belseth,
I have completed my investigation of the abandoned facility and I have some interesting findings to report.
First of all, it is clear that this facility was once used for research into time travel. There are many pieces of equipment here that are designed for experimenting with time dilation and temporal displacement. It is possible that the signal we are receiving is coming from a time machine that is still operational.
However, it is also possible that the signal is coming from something else entirely. There are several strange devices in the facility that I do not recognize. It is possible that these devices are related to the signal we are receiving.
I have attached a full list of all the equipment and devices I found in the facility, as well as my notes on each one. I hope this will be helpful in your investigation.
Thank you for your time,
Dr. Quinn
Thank you for your report, Dr. Quinn.
I have a few questions about your findings.
First of all, can you tell me more about the signal we are receiving? Do you think it is coming from a time machine?
Second, what do you think the purpose of the strange devices you found in the facility? Do you think they are related to the signal?
Thank you for your help in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely, Major Belseth
Dear Major Belseth,
Thank you for your questions. I have done some more investigation and I believe I have some answers for you.
First of all, the signal we are receiving is definitely coming from a time machine. I have found evidence that the machine is still operational and it is probable that someone is using it to send the signal.
As for the purpose of the strange devices, I believe they are part of the time machine. I think they are used to control the machine and perhaps even to travel through time.
I have attached a full report of my findings to this letter. I hope you find it helpful.
Thank you for your time,
Dr. Quinn
Captain Seymour,
I am ordering you to assemble a squad of Marines and investigate the abandoned facility where Dr. Quinn has been conducting his research.
I want you to find out if the time travel machinery is operational and if it is possible to use it to travel through time.
I have attached Dr. Quinn’s report to this order. I want you to pay close attention to his findings and make sure you understand everything before you proceed.
This is a very sensitive mission, and I am counting on you to get the job done right.
Good luck,
Major Belseth
Major Belseth,
I have assembled a squad of Marines that I believe are well-suited for this mission. They are as follows:
– Sergeant Johnson: A veteran Marine with years of experience in special operations. He is a skilled marksman and has extensive training in close quarters combat.
– Corporal Ramirez: A talented young Marine who is an expert in communications and electronics. She will be invaluable in understanding and operating the time travel machinery.
– Lance Corporal Jones: A Marine with a background in engineering. He will be able to help us understand how the time travel machinery works and if it is safe to use.
I believe this squad has the skills and experience necessary to complete this mission successfully. I am confident they will get the job done.
Thank you,
Captain Seymour
I decided to do something a little different today. All the text here was written by GPT-3. All the portraits were based on descriptions by GPT-3 and rendered with some difficulty by Dall-E 2.
