It looks cool.

Right now my session is expiring while stepping through the "brief" introduction and seeing a lot of waiting spinners.

For this audience and Reddit, it might make more sense to do this as a blog post, showing a playthrough and some of the best images that were generated.

Good luck on your game development journey!

Thanks. I tried to hide the LLM generation time, which usualy takes a while. However, the brief recap itself is short by it's nature. So you will be more likely to see the loading spinner.

Do you have rights to use the Game of Thrones IP?

I highly doubt anyone with a legit license to use the IP would be making a Show HN post of this nature based on AI generated artwork, and with a gmail address for a contact.

We considered it as an AIGC fanart project. Is there any IP issue with the fanart like this?

This has got to cost a fortune to run. I initially started on something similar and stopped once I realized what it would cost me per user.

The voice over text is very well done, I'm wondering which service you are using for it. None of the ones I looked at had API pricing that was acceptable for something I'd put out for public consumption!

Excellent job hiding generation time behind the voice over text.

The narrative repeats itself a lot, with some scenes getting repeated almost word for word. I am also curious what LLM is being used for the text and how you are managing a story that lasts so long. Obviously there are flaws, story elements get forgotten, but I also saw plot threads picked up again after multiple paragraphs, which I was quite surprised by!

I will take a look on this. The repeat should not happen, it might be a bug.

Nice work. Given that it's just narration and images, it's been surprisingly engaging - keen to see where this can go!

This was fun. Managed to get a dude in an electric guitar thrown in so Jon Snow could vibe to it in battle.

Unfortunately, the game was stuck in a loading spinner just as Ned Stark rose from the dead and arrived at the battlefield in a Panzer tank.
