I made a Twitter bot a couple years ago that tweets silly game ideas: @NextRoguelike, or "Your Next Roguelike." This was a reaction to the Roguelike Celebration in 2016, where Kate Compton (aka @GalaxyKate) gave a talk on Tracery, her language for procedural text generation.

The bot is hosted by https://cheapbotsdonequick.com/ which has many Tracery-based Twitter bots, at least until the powers that be at Twitter break it with new API restrictions.

So with my new Twitter API access I looked at the past year or so of tweets from my bot. Which had gotten the most likes and retweets?

As you can see, this is not a bot that drives a lot of engagement. :) In fact, I had to remove one of the top tweets because it was actually a retweet of tcpolymath@tcpolymath. And two of these were probably retweeted by me because they mentioned marissalingen@marissalingen.

If procedural content generation is your thing, ProcJam 2018 is coming up soon, October 20-28, and it's a very low-key celebration of "making something that makes something."
