The Story Machine

Product Information

The Story Machine project has been underway for about a year, said Love. Story Machine helps you create games using generative AI.

This fascinating book explores machines as authors of fiction, past, present, and future. For centuries, writers have dreamed of mechanical storytellers. We can now build these devices. What will be the impact on society of AI programs that generate original stories to entertain and persuade? What can we learn about human creativity from probing how they work? In my ecosystem, I always have the passion to empower the young generation with creativity, for education, to express themselves now with another choice of Story Machine,” said Dai. “I think we can serve the masses with this technology and its affordable costs. We’re very excited. This is why we are launching at the Game Developers Conference.” Story Machine was founded in 2018. We create unforgettable experiences for readers and writers. We publish exciting new writing. We help artists develop their practice. And we create unforgettable live experiences.

Powerful storytelling, unforgettable characters and a moving journey. A fantastic debut.’ 5 Star review in BookswithDanSamEnd Story Machine is opening in private beta today and is ready to be deployed in professional environments.

We just want to leverage things and lower the barrier of entry for people being able to create,” Kaplan said. Alaric Mark Lewis has been a piano bar performer, bartender, waiter, film critic, teacher, wedding singer, pizza maker, Benedictine monk, and writer in the US, Italy, Spain, and the UK. Navigating a world of eccentric figures and fantastic storytellers, his path led him to become the priest of three city-centre Medieval churches in Norwich, where with his partner Maurizio and dachshund Linus he continues to surround himself both with great stories and eccentric figures. He has written four books on the spirituality of loss and illness. Heart breaking and then heart mending. Bradington Bay is a story of family legacy and the minefield that is adolescence as a gay man in a largely homophobic world. This is the type of redemptive story needed today more than ever.’While generative AI takes the first pass at art, the humans on the team take over once they get a better idea of where to go. And humans can also create their own pools of foundational material for the generative AI to use to create its own creations. Ready-to-play Tonie figures comes pre-loaded with songs and stories from your favourite characters.

Sarah Power of National Centre of Writing says: ‘We are delighted to be a partner organisation for WORKING WELL, bringing creativity into the health environment, and challenging the notion that formal arts, such as writing is only for certain sectors of society. By working with NHS staff, we are excited to follow the impact on the participants and add to the growing evidence base that creative participation and activity is a vital health and wellbeing benefit for all.’ I adored Malory Towers, The Secret Seven, The Famous Five. The Twins at St Clare’sleft me looking at my life in comparison to theirs in this posh boarding school and their picnics with constant lashings of ginger beer and big fat pies. Blyton writes an impossible-to-match picnic! One of the most valuable features of the book is its rich presentation of examples. Readers come away having read nearly 100 instances of mechanically and computationally generated stories, which provide a clear sense of the variety of approaches and the kind of story they produce. Readers are even invited at several moments to experiment with these methods themselves. The authors also integrate computer-generated prose into the book’s text, which serves as a frequent reminder that the act of reading may shift and transform as automation and authorship converge in different ways." While it’s not likely that generative AI can spit out awesome games anytime soon, helping game creators with tools that can help them generate better art is a big opportunity, said James Kaplan, CEO of Meetkai, one of Dai’s metaverse platform companies, in an interview with GamesBeat.

Tom McLaughlin: Illustrating a character from The Story Machine

Meet Tonies, the new audio system for kids. The Toniebox lets you take music and bedtime stories wherever you go with cute characters, easy controls and no bright screens. Listen, sing and tell your very own stories – there are so many ways to play! I am thrilled to welcome Gatehouse Press and Lighthouse Journal into the Story Machine family. This merger creates a stronger independent publishing group based in Norwich UNESCO City of Literature. It will enable us to manage costs and create a publishing force better able to serve our authors and provide a better and easier experience for our readers.’ I attended an event with Deirdre Madden – she had edited a collection of Irish short stories called All Over Ireland and was reading bits of Colm Tóibín and Mary Morrissey. She wanted people to hear it so she could hone in on the bits she especially liked. There was a great line from the Morrissey story ‘Emergency’ where a fighter plane crashes and the parachute ‘faints’ behind the tree. Well that’s just gorgeous. That event had a flavour of close reading. It wasn’t intimidating or scary, people seemed to enjoy it. How can we ensure that the beauty in books, the thing that makes them memorable, is retained in an event? That’s a challenge I feel keenly.
