The Pride of South Bastule

Started a game, woke up, said "This can wait another day" and went back to sleep. Most profound story I've ever seen.

From what I understand from the code, your game auto generates a story from the input you give it. I'm pretty impressed with how natural the language sounds but for some reason my stories always end a few sentences in. I can't seem to actually get anywhere either. So this is a really impressive tech demo with a lot of potential if the stories were longer.

I received ` Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/david/Downloads/south-bastule/main.py", line 1, in import os, subprocess, string, sys, time, webvtt, youtubesearchpython ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'webvtt' `

I recommend something like `py2exe` as an option for users that aren't willing to try and run the python code from command line.

Sorry! I really would like to play it.

A very confusing game, however it's definitely an interesting concept, especially while looking at the code.

The dependencies are incorrectly written. You need to install ``webvtt-py`` and ``youtube-search-python`` from pip.

It is definitely ambitious, and would probably be better if it was expanded with a longer story and perhaps some clearer instructions as to how the game works.

Thank you folks for playing! I should've included a disclaimer: I got sick towards the end of compo, and couldn't write any more than a single conversation.

@initialposition Everything's pre-written, surprisingly enough. rot13 for spoilers:

@david-york if you're willing to dig some more into installation (no worries if not), check out the comment above by @lako. And I'll look into py2exe: it's a utility I've never heard of before!

Building over @david-york comment, I would suggest using [pyinstaller](https://pypi.org/project/pyinstaller/) to make your executable available to everyone, not just people on windows ;)
