princi/pal
princi/pal is a tamagotchi virtual pet game with moral dilemmas.
growing up means tough decisions! your pal grapples with moral dread ( ꩜///꩜;) it's up to you to help guide it.
will your pal be fiercely loyal? power-hungry? distrusting? every decision you make shapes your pal's moral compass, leading to one of 8 unique final evolutions. of course, remember to feed, play, and heal—your pal needs to survive long enough to realize its potential.
source code is here. princi/pal is a web game made with next.js, convex, and clerk. uses ai (gpt-4o-mini) to process advice & evolve your pet's personality and reactions.

Sameee, it says that users' slots have maxed out:((
oops!! let me fix that :(
fixed!
this is really cool, I expected a bunch of trolley problems and i ended up having a lot of meaningful interesting choices!
I hope this isn't costing you too much to run, it's really cute!
glad to hear!! theres a total of almost 60 unique dilemmas~ happy to release for free but you can buy me a coffee if you'd like
neat concept! very curious to see what kinda advanced gamebook IF we'll be getting in the future, with ai to streamline things a little.
would it be possible to see all the responses we typed in the future? for now, it only shows the initial one in the certificate, but I think having a more detailed log would be neat!)
hmm you should be able to click between all of your responses on the certificate -- do the prev/next buttons not appear?
if you mean through dilemmas / days, those work! I'm more referring to how the little birdie will ask follow up questions, and those don't seem to be saved (at least on my end?)
im so curious, did u use ai to make this game?
it says "gpt-4o-mini" in the desc, so yeah!
using ai to understand & process your responses, but mostly everything else (dilemmas, evolutions) is not generated.
