inspiration

i've always wanted to play video games where my actions had actual consequences on the story. i wanted to be part of the story, feel like i was shaping it. this comes from growing up playing rpg games my whole life.

when bitcoin digital collectibles came out in february 2023, i became a founder in that ecosystem. that's also when i discovered chatgpt. i had a project of cute pixel characters that lived in the bitcoin blockchain itself located on a whimsical RPG block. they sold for CRAZY amounts (https://magiceden.us/ordinals/marketplace/bitcoin-boos) i wanted to make it cool. i wanted to bring my characters to life with ai, bring my story to life with ai.

i started by working on ai agents, but the tech wasn't quite there for creating self evolving ai universes. so i spent the last two years learning ai and vibe coding every single day. the bolt hackathon became the perfect opportunity to experiment with this vision.

what it does

story engine acts as the glue for the future of ai gaming. we're about to enter an era of fully autonomous ai games with ai npcs. image gen and video gen models are already good enough to create consistent characters, items, sfx, videos, and voices. but there needs to be structure that gives ai systems context to consistently generate content. story engine provides that base context to ensure the future of ai is coherent, immersive, and meaningful.

how we built it

built with typescript, vite, tRPC adn vibes

what's next for story engine

turning this into a dnd experience where we can talk to npcs in real time, roll dice, and play combat games. i'm a huge D&D nerd so that's the ultimate goal
