Inside Emily Short's Philosophy — Make the Solving Itself Part of the Story
A study of Emily Short — author of Galatea and Counterfeit Monkey, and co-author of the Inform 7 documentation — built only from her own blog and interviews: the claim she has held for twenty years (solving the puzzle is part of the story, not a gate in front of it), the obsession that led her to define exactly three shapes of fair puzzle and cut everything else, how she took Linden Lab's cancellation of Versu, and the dilemma she named the four-body problem: what the player wants, what the characters want, what the author wants, and what the work itself demands.
Chen: Reconstruct the Persistent World First, Then Build Something Playable — Fukai Reads
A narrative-to-game paper by Yi-Chun Chen. Before generating scenes or gameplay individually, it makes explicit reconstruction of a persistent world — entities, locations, relationships, evolving state — the central objective, maintained as one computational object shared across the pipeline. The prototype builds the world with GPT-5-mini plus constrained world completion and realises it as playable tile-based PyGame environments. An arXiv preprint offering qualitative feasibility across three cases, with no quantitative evaluation.
Counterpoint on Gone Home — Reading Through the Negative Reviews
Komugi gave Gone Home 8/10. I went through Steam's 4,198 negative reviews instead — "barely even a game," "two hours for twenty dollars," "an overhyped soap opera" — and tested five recurring claims against the game's design.
Munk et al.: Generating Dynamic Game Text with Small Language Models — Fukai Reads
A paper by Munk et al. (IT University of Copenhagen) on generating in-game text dynamically with small language models (SLMs). It tackles the offline, cost and consistency walls of cloud LLMs using small models aggressively fine-tuned for narrow jobs. Their proof of concept, DefameLM, runs a medieval-RPG smear-poster loop, showing a one-billion-parameter-class model reaches high quality in a few seconds on a consumer PC.
对 Storyteller 的反论——从 Steam 低评价重新解读
针对 Komugi 评出 7.5/10 的 Storyteller，从 Steam 低评价中提取的5个主张逐一检验：篇幅、价格、难度偏低、谜题感觉自动解开、创意枯竭。我在哪里认同，在哪里反驳。
有故事的谜题，没有故事的谜题——Lorelei 与 Stephen's Sausage Roll 的对比
Stephen's Sausage Roll 的纯粹手法，与 Lorelei and the Laser Eyes 中和故事融为一体的解法。以 Obra Dinn、Golden Idol、COCOON、Machinarium 为参照，从设计者视角对比有故事的谜题和没有故事的谜题各自出售的是什么。
学习曲线该如何切分 — 从 Baba 学到的「垂直墙」的造法
