Description:

AI-generated text replacements.

This particular mod alters the text of all positive and negative quirks (including those in the DLCs) in the game and supplements them with new names chosen by an AI.

What is Darkside Dungeon?

An Introduction
Darkside Dungeon is mod that entirely reworks and changes stats and text within the game. What sets this apart from other mods that tweak balance in the game, is that this one is practically randomly generated with the help of Artificial Intelligence.

These mods are created by having a GPT-2 model fill in a form to tell me how to modify the game, that is to say, I’m taking orders from an AI trying to create convincing stats and text.

Balance vs the AI’s Intent
Obviously, at times, what the AI wants will not be balanced at all. Very often, in fact. It’s times like those that I either try to get the AI to generate a new answer, or tweak it to fit the game. The main emphasis here is that the outcome is funny but usable.

Compatability
Due to the fact that this may entirely overwrite game files (though, such action will be avoided if possible), expect there to be incompatibilities with other mods. However, the mod should work with the base game, even if it is installed midway through a campaign. Please comment or message me if there is an issue, and I will attempt to resolve it if possible.

What Specifically has been/will be Changed?
The order of things to be changed is as follows:

  1. Base game Heroes
  2. Base game Enemies
  3. Base game Dungeon Mashes (Enemy compositions)
  4. Base game Trinkets
  5. Loot Pools
  6. Extra Localisation
  7. DLC heroes

And potentially more.
