Gauntlet v2.0 Development

Description

Earlier this year we unveiled the Gauntlet, an adventure made for Twitch chat. We’re now working on an updated version that adds user inputs/choices and a more powerful procedural storytelling engine. Our goal is to stream the first version of this updated engine by the end of the 30 days.

The first public stream is behind us now! I’m still actively working on adding some more variety to the critical paths for the next few runs. This was my first time as a writer so it was a cool new experience to see people responding to my work. I’m really happy with how it turned out. Watch it here
