Demiurge

The problem

Demiurge is a playable AI world engine that combines nation-scale Chronicle play with town-scale Godhand play on one event-log simulation core.

What I built

Demiurge is a playable AI world engine that combines nation-scale Chronicle play with town-scale Godhand play on one event-log simulation core. It is map-first, event-log-first, and designed so a player can issue freeform nation actions, guide settlements indirectly, intervene with God Tools, and inspect how the world reacted.

How it works

• Procedural world seed with polities, regions, settlements, resources, biomes, and separate region tags vs. polity/settlement tags.
• Append-only event log as the single source of truth.
• Deterministic state projection from events.
• Consolidator that archives old event chunks into a durable narrative summary event.
• Rewind by event-log fork instead of destructive rollback.

Tradeoffs and limits

This project does not currently have a hosted demo. Run and verification instructions live in the repository when available.
