Icing on the Cake

This improvement ties one thread I've been unsure was able to be tied. Now, animal body parts and biological traits are better contextualised for the LLM's understanding. This means they can, and will, narrate the way they use themselves more effectively. A monster with camouflage, like a chameleon, will reference it when an attack against them misses, for example.

Underlying the narration are extensive semantic graphs, which are simply blocks of words sorted into categories, like body parts, movement styles, and mutation vocabulary. The LoRA adapters are trained on sentences constructed out of these graphs. Each word, in consideration of the sentence structure it was trained on, is given numerical weight, and at runtime the LLM relies on its internal mechanics to decide which word to generate.

Its decision-making when it comes to generating words can be influenced, kind of guided, by careful prompting. Essentially, if you give the LLM enough of the information it needs in the right way it can start to build the required context to generate narration that reflects its character.

It's a problem I'm familiar with as an author. How do I get the reader to generate an image in their head based on the words I am using? How do I make this person understand? It's kind of insane to think about how the challenges are the same for what is just a machine that generates words.

SLOP FIGHTERGame update24 Aug 2026a worthwhile updateI wanted this update to cover more than a few small fixes, because most of what I'm dealing with grammatically right now are small edge cases. I'm aware it's a little bit of a download in order to receive a full update. Firstly, I've updated the about/credits page. I'm still not super happy with the Cronenberg line, but at least I spelled his name correctly this time. Secondly, I cleaned up a c…SLOP FIGHTERGame update5 Aug 2026dataset training overhaul means words come out goodGood news, I have improved narration quality significantly across the board. Besides adding a bit of movement and energy to the prepositional phrases by shifting their positions in the sentences and converting some to participial (an old trick), I have done something I probably should have done a while back and updated the dataset training methods. Claude did some restructuring through my datas…SLOP FIGHTERGame update3 Aug 2026minor fixes to narration, crits/misses, thanksOn the narration side I have reduced the frequency of certain words appearing, like channeling, which wasn't accurate for enough contexts. I've also addressed some confusion with body parts, so one body part won't feed incomprehensibly into another body part. There was a sentence template or two that seemed to want to play into that kind of narration. They've been excised. There was also a smal…
