What has happened to me? The last thing that I remember, I went to sleep just like any other night.
Now I'm here in this strange place, wherever this is. This feels like a dream, but I can't wake up.
There are others here too. Deadly beasts, sentient artefacts, devious tricksters, lost souls, and... the Lord of this Realm. They all seem bound to this place, but I'm not. I've got to get out of here!

TLDR

Endless Quest is an an autonomous world engine for generating infinite, dynamic roleplaying challenges; no two the same. Quest encounters are powered by a sophisticated, behavioural AI storytelling system that ensures narrative and stylistic consistency.

Endless Crawler is used to generate each realm map, with encounters generated and persisted as they are first explored by players. Realms allowing endless re-interpretation of the Endless Crawler chambers across an infinite number of thematically consistent worlds.

About

Endless Quest is an endless, generative roleplaying game, in which you play a traveller lost in the infinite realms of the dreaming. As you travel through each realm, you will discover infinite unique locations and the lost souls bound to them; no two alike. Each location and character that you meet in Endless Quest is unique, and indeed, each of its many realms is generated - in its entirety - dynamically by an AI storyteller.

Each realm generates endless unique locations and characters that are thematically consistent, from one of four sub-themes and eight different kinds of encounters that are unique to that realm. Locations and characters are generated once only, the first time that they are discovered, after which they are persisted permanently on-chain.

Once a location has been generated it will remain, however each traveller's visit will be a dynamic, story driven experience that responds to the player, powered by the AI storyteller.

Repo Structure

AI

The core of the generative experience is run by two GPT prompts, both detailed in /AI/Prompts/:

• Metadata-Generation.md -- Generates the metadata for each world, chamber and encounter
• NPC-dialog.md -- Runs the interaction with each NPC

Art Assets are generated using DALL-E via OpenAI API, as detailed in GenerativeArt.md

MUD2

A Phaser MUD engine

Setting up a local server

Install Node.js 16+ (we use version 18)

• Install pnpm

$ npm install --global pnpm

• Install Foundry (docs)

$ brew install libusb
$ curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash
# restart the terminal or open a new one
$ foundryup

• Do this setup...

Edit MUD2/env.contracts if you want to use your own Anvil private key.

$ cd MUD2
$ pnpm install
$ pnpm initialize
$ cp env.contracts packages/contracts/.env

Start local server

$ pnpm run dev

OpenAI API Keys

OpenAI API keys enabled for GPT-4 need to be on cookies. The first time the app is loaded on a browser, empty cookies will be created for editing, if they are not present.

cookie	value
OPENAI_API_KEY	<api_key>
OPENAI_ORG_ID	<org_id>

Deployment

Fund your wallet

• mud cli faucet

The wallet used for deployment must have ETH on the network.

# Lattice testnet
$ pnpm mud faucet --address <address>

# Other networks
$ pnpm mud faucet --faucetUrl <faucetService> --address <address>

MUD deployment

• mud cli deploy

Paste the deployment wallet private key to PRIVATE_KEY in MUD2/packages/contracts/.env

Edit profiles at MUD2/packages/contracts/foundry.toml

# deploy locally (http://localhost:8545)
$ cd MUD2/packages/contracts
$ pnpm mud deploy

# deploy to the lattice testnet
$ cd MUD2/packages/contracts
$ pnpm mud deploy --profile lattice-testnet

# deploy to optimism mainnet
$ cd MUD2/packages/contracts
$ pnpm mud deploy --profile optimism-mainnet

If in error and need to retry...

$ pnpm mud deploy --profile lattice-testnet --priorityFeeMultiplier 5

• Emojimon deployment

Deploy contracts to testnet...

$ de MUD2/packages/contracts
$ pnpm deploy:testnet
> chained 4242

Build distribution...

$ de MUD2/packages/client
$ pnpm build
$ zip packages/client/dist

Development notes

Install a fresh MUD from template

• MUD getting-started

Need Node 18 and Foundry (see above)
