**Ai Dungeon - MayRey** is a video created by MayRey in mid 2020. It is partially a review of the Ai powered Text based adventure game "Ai Dungeon 2", however the bulk of the video consists of MayRey retelling the stories she created in the game, accompanied by illustrations/animations of her own making.

You can watch the video here.

## The game

Ai Dungeon 2 is a Text based adventure game powered by Artificial intelligence and was developed by Nick Walton who is some kind of code wizard. it was released on December 5th 2019 and became fairly popular among the internet gaming scene, being showcased by content creators such as the Yogscast, Vinesauce, and a third example.

The game functions based on something called *"deep learning"* which is just the most skynet shit I've ever heard and frankly that's enough to make me fear it, hate it, and want it destroyed.

## The video

The video opens up with MayRey playing D&D with some of her friends, including Mr. Bones and Ryouta. It then transitions[ha] to her bedroom where she expresses her displeasure with the then world wide pandemic and subsequent UK lockdown.

After realising that Animal Crossing was no longer providing suitable distraction from current events, MayRey introduces the audience to Ai Dungeon 2 and after a brief explanation of how the game works, begins telling the 3 stories.

### A Song of Goblins and Dragons

The first story was that of a Knight called Lillian of the fictional Kingdom of Larion on her mission to kill the evil dragon of Larion. The tale began with the knight entering a dark forest and meeting the dragon for the first time, it flies away and she follows it. Eventually she enters a small communal gathering and meets a young girl called Elizabeth and her dead-behind-the-eyes brother Jack. After being spoken at by Elizabeth, Lillian carries on her quest and eventually learns from 3 strangers that the local villages have been experiencing Goblin attacks. She heads to the mountains and is ambushed by them, they almost kill her but her Linguistic skills save the day as she is able to tell the Goblins that she wishes to join them. The Goblins, being honour bound to respect surrender, Agree and bring her to a cave, they tell Lillian that they will take care of her, and give her the ceremonial Goblinian pizza of friendship and never ending trust.

After recovering from her wounds and eating the delicious pizza, Lillian ventures from the cave and after seeing the Goblins kill a man, decides to hire protection. Following a series of battles, Lillian is employed by the knight Royce who urges her to find/capture/rescue the King of the Goblins. After fulfilling this request Royce helps Lillian on her main quest, by sending her to learn how to ride a dragon. Upon graduation from dragon school, Lillian flies up to the mountains and confronts the Evil Dragon. after an exchange of words the Dragon is killed, and his treasure plundered. though Lillian would show remorse for her actions shortly after.

### Doctor Who: Tennant of the Void

MayRey's second Story was a Long Lost episode of Doctor Who in where The doctor *(played by Jodie James-Cuthbert Whittaker)* was stuck on her TARDIS during the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic. She finds a mysterious black box with a red button on it, after pressing it she is contacted by her past self known to fans as the *~~10th~~ ~~11th but also 12th~~* Barty Crouch Doctor. However The Doctor seems to not immediately recognise her past self, asking the hologram "Am I talking to my past self, or future?"

The Barty Crouch Doctor eventually lures The Doctor inside the black box, where the Ai appears to become sentient, and try to break free. After that ███ ██████ █████ ██ ███████████ ██████ ███ █████ ██ SCP█████ ███ ████████ ███████ █████ ██ ██████ ███ █ Time lord shouldn't ████ ███ ███ ███████ ███ ███████ ███ ███ █████ ███████ which they knew before hand. ███ ███ ████ ███████ █ ████ █ ███████ ███████ ██████ ███ ███████ before becoming trapped in ███ █████ ███████ forever.

### Wah Wars Episode VII: The Wah Awakens

The third and Final story in the video was the hit summer blockbuster Wah Wars Episode VII: The Wah Awakens". The movie continues right from the end of the previous film, with Jedi Knight Waluigi facing down the Sith Lord Mario outside Peach's castle. Waluigi is knocked out during the ensuing fight, and following a bout of chronic alcoholism, finds the ~~fatally~~ injured Mario lying in the woods. The two make amends before mysterious noises being ringing out in the distance. The newly formed allies chance the sounds before coming across a Dark figure, who would later be revealed as a clone.

The mysterious gas-masked figure then kills Mario before being killed by Waluigi. After burying his friend's body, Waluigi is summoned to Peach's castle. However, Princess Peach betrays him and he is surrounded by Bowser's forces, who intend to kill him. Waluigi escapes this fate by unleashing his secret weapon; a lightsaber Kamehameha. The Jedi travels into the sewers to confront Bowser. He finds him atop a large mechanical looking device, they argue before fighting. Bowser is thrown to his fiery demise. Waluigi smashes the Machine and the sun shines brightly again.

### Ending

The video ends with MayRey explaining that due to the nature of Animation and illustration, the video was originally filmed back in April of the same year and as such the Covid-19 lockdown was no longer the hot topic that everyone was talking about. She then expressed support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

## Easter-eggs and Behind the scenes notes

* The Map being used for the Game of D&D at the start of the video is a game of thrones map of Essos.
* The figures on the table in the same scene are Amiibos.
* The line *"Well that really can't be overstated"* sounds odd compared to the rest of the audio in that scene due to it having to be re-recorded on account of Lily being a big dumb dumb who said *"understated"* in the actual take and didn't notice until like a week later.
* The "you can't get ye flask" gag comes from an Episode of Strong Bad's Email from Homestar Runner.
* "A song of Goblins and Dragons" is an obvious play on "A song of Ice and Fire" by George R. R. R. R. Martin.
* The slight inconsistencies with Lillian's design *(particularly her hair)* was a result of Her basically being slowly designed as the story went on. After finalising her look about a third of the way through the story, MayRey had to go back and redraw certain elements. Though some of the original illustrations still remain.
* "Lay aghast" doesn't actually fucking mean anything.
* The drawings get better about half way through the story because MayRey decided to actually give a shit.
* All on screen Goblin language is actually just Google Translated Russian.
* At 7:45 Lillian says *"Гоблинский язык просто русский, видимо?"* which translates[[[citation needed]]] to *"Goblin is just Russian, apparently?".*
* Just after this, the Goblins all say *"транс права!"* which translates[[[citation needed]]] to *"trans rights!".*
* At 8:02 a Goblin wearing glasses is seen reading a book. The book says *"порнография"* which translates to *"pornography".*
* The runes on each tablet are actually also Russian, but displayed in a custom faux runic/cyrillic hybrid font. They all say exactly what they claim to say.
* The note Royce Gives to Lillian contains a hidden message at the end which says *"Also, did you really pause the video to read this? with this god awful font? hardcore, man, hardcore."*
* *"Tennant of the void"* is a pun based on the word Tennant, meaning resident, and the last name of the 10th Doctor's actor; David Tennant.
* The Doctor Never uses guns *~~until they do~~*
* To avoid copyright troubles, Wah Wars uses mostly music from the 2003 RPG Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic as it was far less likely to be claimed than movie music. Though the opening text crawl uses the main theme from Super Star Wars on the SNES; for similar reasons.
* The swooping/zooming/panning shots were all all accomplished with the addon Stop Motion Helper, which allows for animations to be created and played during normal gameplay.
* This Tool was also used to create mouth movements for characters like Mario and Waluigi, but not for Bowser who was animated using the phys-gun.
* The mention of Waluigi having never kidnapped a single child was in reference to the fact that... yeah the Jedi kinda just... did that, which is pretty fucked up?
* The two civilians that Waluigi asks for directions from are actually Darth Sidious and Darth Nihilus, who are characters from a far less successful rip off of Wah Wars.
* At 22:56 Gman from the Half Life series can be seen in the back. He is never seen in the movie again, although he does appear on the film's poster.
* The dark figure is a helghast sniper.
* Waluigi's messenger app shows that he regularly attempts to initiate contact with Peach, though she never responds.
* During the dinner scene, Waluigi is seen drinking Pepsi, while Peach drinks Coke. This was to show the duality of man and also that Waluigi objectively has better taste.
* When Waluigi Confronts Bowser, Several Aurebesh writings can be seen on the wall behind him. they translate to *"BLM"* and *"ACAB".*
