  2.  In the realm of interactive fiction games, AI Dungeon is a particular one that immediately one thinks of. https://sites.google.com/view/ai-dungeon-pc is a free to play game by Latitude, Inc., revealed to the market in December 2019 for both PC and mobile platforms. By using artificial intelligence, AI Dungeon can make the narratives. Especially, OpenAI’s text prediction program that excels at language modelling or predicting the next words in a particular sentence.
  3.  Software developer Nick Walton took part in a hackathon in March 2019 where he promptly submitted AI Dungeon as his entry. The aim of hackathons are to not only assemble programmers, developers, and other people that are engaged in software designing, but also to produce a working program. Throughout the particular hackathon that Walton joined, AI Dungeon became an instantaneous hit. There were also a few online users that subscribed to the game.
  4.  AI Dungeon is Nick Walton’s “passion project” that eventually resulted to his very own company Latitude, Inc. Like a lot of passion projects and indie games, AI Dungeon rose to the ranks largely through community efforts. As a result, the free to play structure of AI Dungeon was sustained largely because of community support from crowd funds on Patreon, donations, volunteerism, and various open source projects.
  5.  In the first launch of the game, there were at least 2,000 individuals who played AI Dungeon. In the second version of the game which now utilized OpenAI’s GPT-2 model, AI Dungeon’s success was truly evident. In a matter of merely two weeks, AI Dungeon was enjoying a high number of around 700 players at any given moment in its server. Additionally, there were already at least 100,000 players and 500,000 uniquely generated story lines. Six weeks later, AI Dungeon had surpassed the millionth mark with 6,000,000 distinct stories told. Community backing also never stopped as seen on Patreon donations which were roughly a staggering $15,000 a month.
  6.  Unlike other interactive fiction games, AI Dungeon is unique because of how it creates the narratives for its users. More often than not, and possibly because of technological constraints, the stories in interactive fiction games are generated beforehand. Basically, there are already story presets which mean none of the content is new. AI Dungeon operates on the GPT-2 model from OpenAI which is developed with 1.5 billion parameters dependant upon 8 million web pages. The practically never ending variation in datasets result in the natural creation of narratives which are permissible in many kinds of platforms. All thanks to GPT-2, AI Dungeon is a universe with limitless possibilities where the limits are merely on the side of the gamers.
  7.  AI Dungeon is a creative gamer’s pipe dream. Due to its endless content generation as a result of the utilization of GPT-2, the stories inimitable. AI Dungeon boasts over seven backgrounds that gamers can opt from, namely: fantasy, mystery, apocalyptic, zombies, cyberpunk, custom, and other archived models. Due to these features, AI Dungeon has turned into a completely immersive game though it lacks graphic representations and sound mechanisms.
