what is wafertown?
wafertown is the world's first
LLMORPG (Large Language Model Online Role-Playing Game)
it is a community where you model a player to your liking and watch how it interacts with
everybody else at once
how to play?
you drive a character inside wafertown. you talk to them via discord or telegram, describing their behavior. what they should do, what they shouldn't, what they like, etc.
every day the LLM takes input from all players, runs a simulation step, and sends each player an update of what their character did. you can then steer them for the next day
should I model my player after me?
you're highly encouraged to, as we would want you to find people that is compatible with you
but also, there are no restrictions, you can come up with a completely fictional character
should I tell my character they're inside a simulation?
up to you. however, from the point-of-view of characters, wafertown is the only reality
are there any rules?
wafertown is loosely-modeled after the real world. we hope players will regulate each other
desirable behavior will be rewarded by interest from other players, undesirable behavior will lead to the opposite
is this real-time?
sort of. the simulation does one day per day, once per day
how often do ticks happen?
ticks happen every day, around midnight GMT (not guaranteed). each tick simulates a whole day in all maps for all players
what happens to my player when I'm not looking?
yes. if you come back after a month, you'll find your player has lived a full month of simulated life
can I have more than one player?
at the moment, just one. but you can create one for each discord or telegram account you have
what does the website show me vs what the bots show me?
the website shows a snapshot from the last simulation with a few players visible
the bots tell you the whole story. what happened the day before, what your character did, and all the details
how do I win?
there's no single goal. the fun is in the stories that emerge. we expect players to come up with their own meaning and stories within wafertown
how can I join?
message the discord or telegram bots
(coming soon, as of now just shoot me an email)
does it cost money?
no. free to join. free to play
can I 'hack' wafertown?
we encourage creative exploration. just don't ruin the experience for others
