Façade is an art/research project, that we're hoping will also serve as an example prototype for an interactive drama commercial product. We could charge money for it, but we'd rather make it easier to get Façade to as many people as possible. We figure that if enough people play it and like the experience, we'll be in a position to make an even bigger and better interactive drama in the future, as an actual product.

Façade is a prototype of interactive drama, a new genre of character and story-intensive interactive entertainment. Façade is freely downloadable at interactivestory.net. In Façade, you, the player, using your own name and gender, play the character of a longtime friend of Grace and Trip, an attractive and materially successful couple in their early thirties.

Façade was created over a period of 5 years primarily by two collaborators, Michael Mateas and Andrew Stern. We are each designer-programmers focused on researching and developing artificially intelligent art and entertainment. The production was an almost entirely self-funded, industry-academia collaboration: Andrew has 10+ years of game industry experience as a designer and AI engineer, and Michael creates AI-based art and is an Assistant Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Can you see the problem? It is in a category all by itself, and that makes it hard to describe to people enough to make them want to read it. So figure out the way that makes the most sense and tell people to get a copy today!

It's now 167MB, instead of the original 800MB! Thanks to speex.org for the better audio compression. (The Mac version is 131MB because Macs are guaranteed to come with Java, so we didn't need to include it in the installer.) The 1.6GHz CPU restriction is now turned off - although Façade will still run poorly, or not at all, on computers slower than a 1.6GHz Pentium 4. Façade version 1.1 for Windows was released February 16, 2006. Version 1.0 for Windows was released July 5, 2005.

Over time, parts or all of the Façade technology will become available for others to use for their own art, research or industry projects. We have formed a studio called Procedural Arts to own and distribute Façade and its technology. See our technology page.

The main reason for this is that good basic technique is a prerequisite to effective free sparring and too much free sparring tends to create bad habits in basic technique.

The DOS version is shareware that is made available in binary form at many locations so you can 'try before you buy'. The UNIX version is available as source code only, and there is no provision to 'try before you buy'. However, the look and feel of the two versions are almost identical, so the DOS version serves as a 'try' version.
