procedural animation pairs *really well* with generative sprites. all you need is a single image and you can make some really dynamic attacks.

ok so... there was a 2 day hackathon at work last week... i built an infinite, 3D, ai native mmo called nocturne... it's set in the world of inkwell. the server capacity is... pretty good..? i tested it with 1000 connections in the cloud. it's written in a programming language i wrote (called ink). it uses polygons & gaussian splat *frostings* for the graphics. it has an adaptive music system that changes intensity and mood based on the gameplay. the combat is kind of realtime dnd-like? all of the npcs are powered by llms, you can talk to them, trade, fight them... they remember you..? they have little neural nets inside them and they optimise for survival and happiness. there's *trillions* of combinations of characters... *hundreds of millions* of spell combinations. all of the creatures have a genome, they reproduce and have mutations creating new creature types... you can catch them like in pokemon... there's semantic crafting and alchemy... you can be turned into a vampire and burn in the sunlight..? there's a day & night cycle... seasons... fires spread, rain puts them out, ice freezes over lakes... you can become a werewolf and infect others? or a weredragon? even a wererat. you can ride on goats, sheep, horses, eagles and dragons... aliens can abduct you or the farm animals... and when you do... you can discover and explore their home planets with different physics. there's giant colossal beasts to fight, demigods with trials that give you world changing powers... you can get portals in a bag that take you to home's you can customise like in tiny glade... oh and there's an api... so people can connect their local agents to it and build their own worlds... rift's open up and invasions happen. villages learn traditions and will fear you if you treat them badly... there's open pvp everywhere and you drop all of your gear if you die. if you try to do pvp in the main cities, then mages will spawn in and try to kill you. oh... there's also semantic scrying.. you can get any item and cast a spell and it opens a portal to the closest thing that is semantically similar... got a bone? maybe it'll take you to a graveyard... a log? a forest, etc. i feel like i haven't even *scratched the surface* with how deep this game is, but this post is pretty long... so... *dream bigger*.

this is how i always imagined combat to feel in inkwell... a retro action rpg with a full set of dnd spells and creatures baked in. with jev new characters and abilities could be created on the fly cos it's all procedural.

prompt -> rpg character generate re-usable pieces for rooms and mix them with custom feature rooms - proc gen levels here we come. walls are on separate layers so you can walk behind them (it renders an outline where your character is).

inkwell has portals... i threw gdc talks from horizon zero dawn and mirror's edge at codex and made a climbing system. it uses ik... the head tilts towards the camera, they duck under obstacles, feet are placed on uneven ground. oh and there's a procedural rock system too.

an embedding space for Midjourney srefs. search for styles using natural language scrub through aesthetic properties like warm, cool, soft, sharp, muted, vibrant, emotions. then - copy the sref and use it in a prompt.

it's hard to know what to prompt without deep domain knowledge about a topic. ok you want a flower? what kind of flower? idk, i want it to be bright and bushy. spiky? colorful? i want a flower that represents the idea of love or loss? it should be yellow, no droopy.

vibe driven dungeon generation. need to convey an idea like a sprawling, chaotic dungeon? a linear, simple hallway or a dungeon in the shape of an O? what about something that feels dangerous and sinister or mysterious? dynamically drive the game parameters.

your messages get turned into semantic constellations that dim the further back in time they are. a lattice tying time and space together through meaning. scroll through time, scrub through space. see how concepts change over time by adding time on one axis of a scrubber.
