StoryTron: Universal Engine for Alternative Universes
Truly a cyberpunk program created a group of developers under the leadership of the legendary game designer Chris Crawford (Chris Crawford). The StoryTron system is the first of its kind, so at first it is even difficult to understand what it is intended for.
As Chris Crawford says, this is a platform for creating interactive fairy tales. Actually, the definition of a new term interactive storytelling was first formulated by Chris Crawford himself more than ten years ago. According to his formulation, interactive fairy tales are a form of interactive entertainment, in which the player plays the role of a protagonist in a dramatically rich environment.
Interactive fairy tales differ from ordinary fairy tales (games) nonlinearity, that is, the unpredictability of the plot. Once upon a time, game design guru Chris Crawford dreamed of creating a platform where anyone could put his character and, accordingly, launch his own interactive fairy tale with an unpredictable ending. Chris began work on this system back in 1992 (originally called Erasmatron), but only in 2006 did the first results appear.
The platform for creating interactive fairy tales StoryTron allows anyone to create their own fairy-tale world. This is the program Storyworld Authoring Tool . After creating a fairy-tale world, it can be launched on the StoryTron platform. To create and manage an alternative universe, a special scripting programming language Deikto is designed, the development of which is still ongoing. Theoretically, this language should describe all aspects of human relationships.
