Inspiration

What started as a dating simulator for helping people with their nerves, quickly became something more fantastical. Combining swiping app interfaces, with the lore of fantasy stories, we made a game that feels both modern, timeless, and a little absurd!

What it does

You swipe through different characters, with different personalities, histories, and story-arcs. Match to get to know them, and after a bit of ice-breaking banter you can ask them out on a date. The dates act like short Dnd quests, where you go out into the world together, face challenges and come back a little bit closer. Who will you match with? What stories will unfold?

How we built it

We built FLIRT XP in react, tailwind, with a supabase backend. Then crafted over 50 characters in a variety of different image-gen services (many of the sponsors). The chatting and dating mechanism is run by an LLM.

Challenges we ran into

Getting the character's story arcs and voices to be diverse and fun to explore was a challenge!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The interface is both familiar and novel. We hope that mobile players will have fun swiping in a new way!

What we learned

We learned that the LLMs can handle a lot of story, and you can just suggest something small and it will run with it.

What's next for FLIRT XP

Addition of inventory system. Cross-character interactions. Possible mobile launch.
