The BrainLift tracks my ongoing research and ideation for my game project, Neighborhood Havoc. I've curated a network of experts (ranging from AI researchers to indie game developers and 3D artists) to inform my learning in fields like AI, game development, and 3D modeling. Through in-depth analyses of industry articles, videos, and games, I explore game design, AI integration for realistic character behaviors, user-generated content, monetization strategies, worldbuilding, and marketing tailored to my target audience. This BrainLift synthesizes my learnings, critiques on market trends like hyper-realistic graphics and microtransactions, and innovative features to differentiate my game from existing social simulation titles.
Stella Cole is a freshman at Alpha, Austin campus, graduating in 2028. She is passionate about writing, especially fantasy and dystopian stories, and enjoys drawing and 3D modeling. Stella is currently working on a game project that combines her love for storytelling and technology.
Continue developing the game, finish the character creator by the end of the school year or over the summer, and eventually complete the full game.
Stella explored her passion for writing and character creation, identifying a gap in existing simulation games where characters lacked depth and authenticity. This phase involved reflecting on her own needs as a writer and gamer.
To create a fun and engaging game that allows players to bring their unique characters to life with realistic personalities and interactions, going beyond preset archetypes.
Primarily girls and creative individuals who enjoy character creation and storytelling, especially those who want to see their original characters accurately portrayed in a game environment.
A simulation game inspired by The Sims, where players can create characters with in-depth, AI-generated personalities using free-form text input, resulting in more dynamic and authentic character behavior. This project represents months of dedicated research, development, and implementation, resulting in a solution that addresses real-world challenges and creates meaningful impact.
"I am developing a social simulator game that uses AI to represent characters from different stories authentically. The game will allow players to interact while maintaining their intended personalities, aiming to engage ten million players."
The project aims to revolutionize character-driven simulation games by enabling players to create and interact with truly unique, AI-powered personalities. In the long term, it seeks to inspire creativity, empower storytellers, and set a new standard for character depth in gaming, potentially influencing how games and interactive media approach character development and player agency.
