LOBO
God could make bots as smart as Himself, or, in fact, part of Himself. What if God made a bot to manipulate every person's life so that perfect justice happened?
LOBO was my team's submission for Ghost Jam 2024.
My co-author, oldmanhorseface, helped write some of the dialogue.
The original Ghost released with 75 dialogues. It has now more than doubled that number.
LOBO is the first Ghost Jam submission using CHIPS.
Part of the reason I selected CHIPS was to use Kawari, as it's designed with word lists in mind.
I wanted to create something that leaned hard into computer generated randomness,
and the meaning we find in it.
The main inspirations it draws from is Hylics, Terry A. Davis/TempleOS, and my own life experiences
with psychosis. It's ramblings are often humorous, but sometimes they can be profound...
