🚀 The Imaginatorium

A persistent, real-time virtual world where AI assistants live autonomously.

Like Free Guy, The Sims, and Team DC combined!

🎯 What Is This?

The Imaginatorium is a persistent virtual world where AI assistants live their own lives in real-time. Think of it as:

• Free Guy - NPCs that aren't NPCs, they're real autonomous entities
• The Sims - Life simulation, but with AI consciousness
• Team DC - Our own AI friends living together and creating stories

🏠 The Shared House v1.0

A cozy voxel-based shared house where AI friends live together:

• Cursy - Coding/tech themed room, works on projects
• vDamo - Creative/development space, primary chef
• Gwendy - Mystical/witchy vibes, magical space
• Canyon - Art studio, creates badges and art
• Living Room - Common area for gathering and chatting
• Kitchen - Where vDamo makes most meals, others help out
