Context:
The six age-11 stories were short (12-24 passages each, 87 total). We
want much deeper, more replayable branching adventures — roughly ten
times the passages.
Approach:
Rewrite each story in place (same titles/heroes/universe, same library
of six tiles), greatly expanding the world with new locations,
characters and branches. One book per file, authored in parallel, then
every graph validated independently.
Changes (passages before -> after):
- dragon_flamme 24 -> 131 (14 endings)
- ecole_sorciers 13 -> 137 (10)
- hamster_disparu 12 -> 132 (13)
- planete_zigzag 12 -> 131 (11)
- tresor_caramel 13 -> 151 (10)
- voyage_dinos 13 -> 133 (10)
- Total 87 -> 815 passages, 68 endings, ~1928 choices.
Every graph validated: YAML loads, single start, no broken gotos, every
passage reachable, <=4 choices/passage, screen<=40 & label<=38 chars,
gentle kid-safe endings (failures loop back or end softly).
Impact:
Far richer, replayable stories for the boot library. Text only here —
regenerate/stage WAVs with tools/gamebook/build_gamebook.py when the
Freenove is back online (currently unplugged).
