About

I've made games for 30 years, from Twisted Metal to Deadpool, always chasing the moment a character starts to feel alive. Canovaccio is my take on that with today's AI: you direct, the cast improvises.

Canovaccio - Cast it, direct it, hear it performed

You're the director. Put on a show of your own, or take on a Challenge. Your troupe is waiting in the wings: characters you create and legends from history, myth, and literature. Get to know them one-on-one, then hand them a script or a situation, and watch them surprise you. They perform it all out loud, each in their own voice. On the game side, a Challenge sets a famous cast in an interesting situation, with a goal to reach or none at all. Try one on the site, no account needed (US only).
