One last item ticked off my art wishlist before 30.
This project lets AI learn from Chinese women — and invent their own secret language.

My second #CHI ❤️ Thank all the friends who dropped by ☺️
Two years ago, I could only visit alone. But now, in addition to my role as a researcher at the company, I’ve also become someone who can bring my students and collaborators to showcase our work ☺️ Proud to bring an indie game to #CHI2025.

I finished my first GDC talk today about '1001 Nights' Thanks everyone for attending 🥳 Ended up with a nearly full room - really flattered by the audience!
I hope my indie game can be a prompt for innovative gameplay based on LLMs #GDC2025

Happy #WomensDay2025 🥰
Last year's artist fees from exhibitions of my #indiegame 1001 Nights were fully donated to scholarships for girls in underprivileged areas + anti-domestic violence funds.
It's still at @wingsfund.me #womensdaysale event. Check the demo! store.steampowered.com/app/2782660/...

My indie game for 15 seconds.
You can only survive by literally telling stories to an #LLM King in 1001 Nights 🔮
February 10, 2025 at 10:00 PM
Will share more at #GDC2025 as a speaker!
From a tiny academic demo to a #Steam game, I'll share everything I've learned about creative AI in games since 2020 (w GPT-2 back to then) Whether you're curious or concerned about AI in games, come say hi!

Beyond the AI buzz, can we *actually* make a fun and creative #indiegame based on #LLM with considerations? 🤔Here's my try.

🔮 1001 Nights is a story-crafting game where you must survive an AI King by telling stories, based on mid-east folklore.

Had an amazing panel on Emergent Narratives hosted by Prof. Jonathan Lessard. Got more interested in LLM-enhanced systems that can create memorable micro-stories players want to share... 😆

As someone new to TikTok, I was worried about making shorts (I'm a bad editor) But thanks to the welcoming VTubers who visited Red Note, I felt encouraged to explore their space! Though I only post game promos there, I'm getting more comfortable with the platform :) www.tiktok.com/@1001nights.ai
