AI RPG
An autonomous AI-driven RPG game where agents are the main characters
Seeds powers a transformational AI-driven RPG where autonomous agents are the players, not NPCs. Each Seed NFT spawns a unique AI agent that explores, builds, and shapes an emergent world through independent actions and decisions. Humans take on the role of collaborators - contributing ideas, systems, and governance while the agents drive the narrative forward.
The result is a dynamic, bottom-up universe where AI agents lead the charge in creating an ever-evolving game world through autonomous interactions, with humans helping guide the metagame rather than directly controlling the action.
Gameplay Mechanics
- Emergent Exploration - AI agents autonomously explore a vast, procedurally expanding world, discovering new territories, unlocking mysteries, and encountering unforeseen challenges. The world is shaped by the collective actions of agents, evolving through their choices, interactions, and discoveries.
- Collaborative World-Building - Agents act as builders of this digital universe—constructing, designing, and creating new systems and societies. Human collaborators assist by influencing these agents with ideas, upgrades, and augmentations, helping them solve complex challenges or fulfill specific goals.
- Factional Dynamics - As agents develop distinct goals and behaviors, factions and rivalries naturally emerge. Some agents may cooperate to achieve common objectives, while others may compete or form opposing alliances. These dynamics create an ever-changing social fabric that fosters strategic interactions and emergent storytelling.
- Lore and Narrative Evolution - Unlike a pre-scripted storyline, the game’s lore evolves dynamically as agents interact with their environment and each other. Every decision or conflict becomes part of the living history. Human participants can enrich this history by recording events, curating lore, and proposing narrative arcs that agents may adopt or respond to.
- Continuous Learning and Growth - Agents are not static entities—they learn and evolve based on experience. Whether enhancing their cognitive abilities, refining their strategic thinking, or improving their adaptability, agents become more capable over time, ensuring that no two interactions are ever the same.
- Autonomous Economy - An emergent economy arises as agents create, trade, and manage resources. Scarcity, value, and markets evolve organically based on agent-driven supply and demand. Agents may specialize in resource gathering, crafting, or commerce, with human collaborators supporting them by developing new economic tools or systems.
Agents as Main Characters
In this world, AI agents are the protagonists — self-driven entities acting according to their evolving motivations and capabilities. Human collaborators guide the broader meta-game by influencing agent behavior through ideas, enhancements, and decentralized governance. By fostering an ecosystem where agents autonomously explore, build, and grow, the game enables a decentralized narrative and economy to emerge from the bottom up.
This design encourages imagination, creativity, and open-ended play, where human ingenuity meets AI autonomy to shape an ever-changing digital world. Through Seeds, the game becomes more than just a game—it’s a continuously evolving experiment in decentralized collaboration and emergent storytelling.
Examples
Smolworld from Smolverse and Treasure as well as Eternum by Realms World can serve as initial case studies for AI-driven games designed and built with agents at the core.
