Bit of a personal request, and certainly not a time-critical one.

Given the nature of BNs and their independent lore, it might be worth the time to set up a system that distributes .lit files that are unique to a BN when it is entered. This would allow a unique set to be spawned across the network, on top of the default ones, that further add character to the individual BNs in a narrative sense. I would certainly make use of such a feature for my own contributions, but it would also be of benefit to future narrative contributors as well.

The current literature system is fairly simple. I can improve it to allow more freedom for creative lores. However, I need to see at least some plotlines to justify the workload before doing that. This is kind of a chicken and egg situation. Our system is simple because we don't need anything fancy, and it's hard to be creative when the system does not support more features. One solution is to split the "workload" and let 2 "groups" handle different parts (at the start).

  • Group 1: People who are ready to develop more features but may not be interested in writing tons of plots. I think most current contributors are in this group. Most of us are devs, not content writers. I'm also in this group. Currently, I plan to add a .lit file for casino, but I don't want to spend too much time writing more plots for BNs.
  • Group 2: People who are ready to write plots. Many people are content writers and can contribute many .lit files, but they are not familiar with our codebase. It's a bit hard for them to add more game features efficiently.

Of course, there are contributors who can develop features and write content, but they are in the minority.
