eon-pong

made for wowie jam 4.0

A Horror/Mystery VN with pong-style gameplay to determine outcomes.

I used the AI workflow interpretation of the theme, so there is a lot of AI generated content in the game. Even the name is AI generated.

I've restricted myself to only using open AI tools that can be ran locally. (not to be confused with the not-so-open OpenAI)

Here is a list of AI tools used:
VQGAN+CLIP
Used for generating and manipulating images.
Real-ESRGAN
Used for upscaling images.
KobaldAI (Janeway FSD 6.7B)
Used for writing and brainstorming ideas.
TorToiSe (Random)
Used for generating voices, also for one BGM and one SFX.

Honorable mention:
sfxia (Not AI, but still computer generated)
Used for generating some SFX

Controls:
   Dialogue:
      Enter/Space Next message
      Escape Skip intro / Retry (after completing said path)
   Gameplay:
      Left/Right Arrow Move paddle
      Enter Serve ball
      Escape Pause game

Expected Playtime:
   Casual (one ending):
       7-8 minutes
   Completionist (all endings):
       15-20 minutes

This is my first (released) game, so there is a high chance of stability and performance issues, Windows binaries are untested. Please let me know if you run into any issues.
