Today, we launch our first publishable storytelling format: Inspired by the golden age of blogging, StoryScapes houses your foundational text and your generative imagery, audio and video in one digital place. When your StoryScape is complete you can share your work in all its multimodal glory with friends, fans, and collaborators.
Inside a StoryScape, viewers can teleport to different scenes by opening up a navigation drawer positioned on the left side of the experience. As we roll out new generative capabilities like image-to-animation and audio, all your ouptuts will be arranged in narrative sequence throughout this omnibus format.
Here we chronicle the production of a StoryScape using the HyperStructure style preset.
Below are some sample StoryScapes from the Lore Machine team!
The Garden of Forking Paths
Let’s kick things off with a StoryScape of ‘The Garden of Forking Paths’ by Jorge Luis Borges. Fittingly, it’s the short story that inspired the concept of HyperText that powers the linking architecture of the Internet!
Style Preset: MeshMode packs more pixels into your StoryScape than reality, rendering to ultra-HD with daemonic speed.
The Party
A coming of age story drenched in booze and mystery!
Style Preset: 1987 renders your story in reassuringly retro late-80s cinematography, replete with rich grain, soft focus and harmonious coloration.
Lost and Found
An existential journey across the seas in search of life’s meaning. “He’d bought the marketing in the pamphlet but hadn’t pursued the dream the pamphlet was selling,” ftw.
Style Preset: Lino/Slash chisels your story into a traditional woodblock print, with laser-accurate lines and dramatic black-and-white contrast.
Eden Planet
The human race flees to a planet named Organica made of machines and plants, leaving two Earthbound robot populations to battle it out into self-annihilation.
Style Preset: Kanji combines the eye-popping shapes of sci-fi manga with the dependable line work work of early-90s anime, to take your story on a trip through Neo-Tokyo’s underground.
The Lantern of Kaamos
Remembering a life of war from the upper reaches of the Arctic Circle.
Style Preset: Prismatic places a carefully calibrated crystal over your story, rendering each scene into a delightfully warped dreamscape.
