Execute Verb usually has a clear, primary effect. Execute Adverb puts a more interesting spin on things. Choose Emblems selects symbols which may have echoing effects. Check Stats makes sure all stats are within (-1, 1) and processes the consequences of spillovers.

the CHOOSE, TURN, SONNET loop is the core of the engine: CHOOSE prompts the player to act, TURN processes the game's response, and SONNET displays the new state of the game.

arranged in order of line and appearance

<h1>FALLEN 落葉 LEAVES</h1> A dancing-engine and a progression or cycle of poems, sonnets of seven ghazals (غزل) in unrhymed rhythmic pseudo-pentameter. Some phrases sampled from the Shījīng (詩經), the Confucian Book of Songs, the Classic of Poetry, as translated by Arthur Waley. In my opinion, a complete cycle is likely to include over 100 sonnets. The player should stop at whatever point they find most appropriate but the story takes time to develop properly. (We are all god and we are all gods.) The game does not propose to posess a certain kind of value. There is a smoothness and a sleekness which it decidedly lacks. But its intent is highly political: it deliberately rebels against the modularity of games and the tactical improvization that the industry requires. Form some product is a controlled space and the needs of the player dominate everything, while themselves being dominated by the needs of the market. More important is the emotional component: the gradual coalescing into the whole, the absolute veiling of number, the wonder of spontaneous communication. This symbolism is not absolute. Your interpretation may not be correct. My own choices may have been faulty. But the progression does nevertheless occur, and both the player and the author learn something. If you take something away from this game, let it be this: the progress through the system of the game must be subservient to the progress through the journey of the game. The change must occur in the audience, not in the art. (1) If you want to poke around and explore extreme states, try to find the volume control. Fallen Leaves aspires to initiate the audience into a new stream of consciousness where the soul is synonymous with the many. Communion with the beloved mediates this process. [[Begin.|CHOOSE]] 1) Well, hell, we've got exceptions now: I love massive, public art that becomes its own presence. Then the value of the art, the measures of its variables, becomes its literal, physical content and therefore its ethical worth.

endurance is still too easy to come by... probably something in beloved react? "reflecting some way on subject of though" is often two syllables too long drastically expand vocabulary adverb reacts more display based on react, to prevent static-feeling poem & give more responsive quality I've had a general tendancy to treat all stats as "good" except sloth... This leads to a risk/reward style of gameplay which is too traditional for this project. I want more evenness and openness, where the user could have a reason to move in any direction: encouragement for becoming dumber and weaker to seek out new domains of love... A more balanced style. Go through verbs and adverbs again, balancing each stat's potential for + and - also need to give more priority to sloth, adept, and interp... I've been focusing too much on will, passion, fire, and endurance, which is such a totally masculine/traditional attitude... sloth is really important, possibly the total solution, and it's been totally neglected Review all moves and displays to be in keeping with this new philosophy.
