Pretty interesting idea! Like others in the comments, I find it to be intriguing. And I found some of the generated poems to be very amusing
Interesting concept for a game. I definitely haven't played anything like this before. Kudos to thinking outside the box. Great job!
The answer is that right now he is just a mad king...so no preferences. But then poetry can be subjective. My plan is to continue working on the game and give him things that he values together. So grouping words into longer vs shorter words, or like subjectively harder vs softer or warmer vs cooler words and giving him a day by day preference based on that. Ultimately I think it will still come off as...random, but the goal is to have a hidden rule with it.
Interesting idea for a game! It was pretty clear how to play the game, but it was a bit confusing to figure out how the poems were being scored.
This is quite a nice idea for a game. I had some fun with the weird poems I generated.
I'd like to report a bug. My beautiful poem,
evening
dog
flying
slowly
carefully
Didn't earn any points, but I didn't see an option to depose the king for his frankly criminal lack of judgment.
Very interesting concept for a game. The music is nice and fitting for the title. I also think it's clever, using the edges of the screen as an indictor for how much time's left in the day. Though, my one critique is that I do wish there was some sort of bonus if you submit an actually coherent poem. Not necessarily a pretty or beautiful one, but just one that has a clear and understandable flow. That being said, I do still really enjoy this project. Well done!
Probably I'm a bit dumb to play correctly but I like the generation of poems
