Autumn's Dungeoneering: The Adventurer's Terrarium
A living fantasy simulation where autonomous NPCs quest, fight, and grow based on personality-driven AI. Watch them operate, talk to them about their choices, or jump in and adventure alongside them.
A World That Lives Without You
Xanrea is a persistent fantasy world where NPCs don't wait for player input. They accept quests from the guild hall, gather resources, hunt enemies, and level up driven by MBTI personality types and emotional state - not scripts.
Multiple autonomous adventurers operate simultaneously. Factions exist. Enemies respawn. The world continues whether you're watching or participating.
Early Access Development
The core simulation is operational - NPCs autonomously quest, gather, and fight using personality-weighted AI with 16 intent categories. Sim Mode and Streamer Mode are functional. RPG Mode allows character creation, movement, and combat.
Currently in development: Player quest/shop UI, NPC shopping behavior, AI companion recruitment system, City Builder mode.
This is Early Access - the simulation framework works, but traditional RPG conveniences and polish are still being built. Updates will focus on completing player-facing features and expanding content.

What Makes This Different
Mount & Blade meets Kenshi with autonomous NPCs. A simulation-first approach where personality drives behavior and emergent stories unfold from AI decision-making, not scripted quests.
Built by a solo developer as both a game and a research project into autonomous agent behavior.
Game Modes
Three Ways to Experience Xanrea
Sim Mode: Observer view with RTS camera. Click any NPC to see their stats, inventory, quest log, and personality profile. Interact with them to understand their motivations and decision making process.
RPG Mode: Create your own adventurer and explore directly. Walk the world, fight monsters, cast skills, and level up. The same AI systems drive both NPCs and combat, creating a consistent simulation whether you're controlling a character or watching one.
Streamer Mode - Automated camera system that switches between random NPCs. Watch the simulation unfold handsfree.
This is a fanatical fantasy. A long shot in the dark. But I truly believe given time I can succeed.
So, what say you, adventurer? Are you finally awake? Maybe, just maybe you're already halfway to Drestor.
