What is the Tale system?

[StorymasterQ]

I'm more interested with the latest Changelog, specifically the last four words:

Jan 18

• Work on linking tale system together with gameplay, so tales are generated from actual gameplay and stories and used for art pieces.

[/list]

I wonder if Tynan has heard/considered using Rant. It's pretty similar to what he's doing right now, and it's already in C#.

I suspect it's going to be similar to Dwarf Fortress in that the subject matter of the art is going to be people and events from your colony's history. If you're constantly attacked by centipedes then you're going to end up with a lot of mechanoid themed statues. Oh look, one of your colonists has created a uranium statue commemorating that time when six people were eaten by squirrels. Just the thing to hang in the break room.

Yes I have. I have a note to look deeper into it. However, it seems the focus is a little different with Rant since I'm trying to build stories from specific events, while Rant is a much more general-case piece of software. That and I want to avoid overcomplicating the system, and integrate it RimWorld's content management systems. And have it all owned by Luideon

You could make a new system. Call it TyRant, and...wait...

I see what you did there.
Out of curiosity, Tynan, Is the tale system going to be hardcoded, or will the modders be able to fiddle and adapt it to mods?

+1 - not because I plan on modding, but would love to see what others come up with!
