Lyotard Demo

Summary:

Initially, Lyotard distrusts and fears the human interactor (called the "player"). Eventually, Lyotard becomes hungry and is grateful when the human feeds him.

Notes:

The text descriptions are all computer generated, so they are not very interesting, but they are completely consistent with the simulated world.

Lyotard displays emotions, social behaviors, and a unique personality. By using similar methods, we hope to get away from traditional puzzle-oriented interactive fiction and create more social experiences.
