Thistle Gulch Simulation Beta Open!
We are thrilled to unveil an upcoming revolution in AI-driven simulations. Thistle Gulch is our first Multi-Agent Gym Environment or “MAGE”. This platform isn't a game; it's a groundbreaking tool that merges the art of storytelling with the latest advancements in artificial intelligence. It’s the same Simulation that powered our SAGA release video below.
Introduction to the Platform
At launch, the heart of Thistle Gulch is a hand-crafted "Old-Western Town” by the same name, featuring over 15 unique characters each with their own backstories and a gripping scenario where the local sheriff investigates a mysterious murder.
Designed for creators, researchers, and AI enthusiasts alike, our simulation platform offers unprecedented control over the narrative and character interactions through a powerful Python API. This allows for deep customization of AI decision-making processes and conversation generation. Whether you're looking to simulate social interactions, or explore the boundaries of AI-driven storytelling, our goal is to offer the tools and flexibility to bring your visions, and these AI characters, to life.
Features and Capabilities
AI Customization and Control: Utilize our Python API to tailor the decision-making and conversational abilities of the characters. From changing the AI model powering a character's responses to deciding how automated you want their decisions to be, you have unprecedented control.
Dynamic Scenario Development: At launch, immerse yourself in a vivid "Western Town" scene, complete with a suspenseful murder mystery. Your decisions and customizations influence how the story unfolds, making each simulation unique.
Bi-Weekly Feature Updates: Our commitment to innovation means you can expect regular updates that expand the platform's capabilities. Character customization, broader simulation control, and advanced memory systems are just a few items on our roadmap, but feature development will be strongly influenced by the community.
