The Mouth Breathers Find A Body

FADE IN:

EXT. BACK ALLEY – NIGHT

Two detectives, Alex and Chris, are standing over a dead body with blood pooling around it.

POLICE OFFICER VIC, You don’t have to get a couple of death.

DETECTIVE ALEX, So what we have a definitely with murder.

DETECTIVE CHRIS, Don’t get a lawyer’s death.

The Mouth Breathers Find A Body will be a Law and Order simulation that is stuck in the first scene of where law enforcement finds a dead body. This simulation, or video game that plays itself, will use a neural network (which will be similar to the script above) to generate new lines for the various Mouth Breather characters in the sim. These characters will include: detectives, police, witnesses, bystanders, and a dead body. The Mouth Breathers will be controlled by my ASS (Artificial Stupidity System). My ASS will keep the Mouth Breathers in an endless loop of finding a dead body, saying pithy remarks, and finding clues that lead nowhere. This case will never be closed.

In the past I have made sims that exist in galleries, but this sim will exist on the internet that can be accessed through the browser or by download. I will use Unity to construct the sim and throughout the residency I will post progress pictures, thoughts, and code.
