It generates characters from tropes, weighted by the popularity of those tropes. Which was a nice experiment, but it's probably not the future direction.

This is something with a lot of iteration. Procedurally generated stories and backgrounds. Letting users input a character and using the tool to shape the character around it. Relationship graphs to other characters.

AI will be in use, but it functions more as a renderer, with good old algorithms forming the structure. But this needs a lot of development work and involves taking money from users, at the very least to pass the cost.

Looking for: Anyone interested in writing or AI content generation. Will profit share but currently profit is $0.

Traction: Approx 2000 users/month, mostly from Bing. No marketing besides mentioning it on a forum twice a year.

I really like this idea! I feel like you could have the character mapping and input be geared towards writers for a story documentation tool as a UI and framework for the generated content would be in what a writer would need. Then offer as much or as little generator access as the user wants.

For that generated content, I do a lot of character creation in a completely different context than writing/D&D, and I would pay for a service or software that let me input or override the story type character data with ones of my own making.

The goal of self-sustaining stories that can be tweaked or woven into is awesome.

Oh you popped on the Discord yesterday. Sorry about that, Discord is a poor replacement for the old anon chat rooms, lol.

Thanks for the feedback. I might just pivot straight into that. I was dragging my feet on it because I didn't get much people interested in that, but only because my only communication medium is the survey.

No worries at all. Speaking of Discord, there are a ton of writing and D&D communities that would be great resources for feedback. You have an advantage in that area as you aren't charging for your current product and so hopping in to solicit feedback won't get you the same kind of backlash as long as it's okay in the groups' rules. Feel free to message me; I wish you the best of luck!
