TaleWeave AI is an open-source game engine designed for creating rich, immersive text adventures and multi-user dungeons (MUDs). Play through a Discord bot or a web browser for a versatile, cross-platform gaming experience.
TaleWeave AI is meant for gamers, developers, and researchers. It is a:
- multiplayer text adventure
- Discord role-playing game
- emergent behavior laboratory
- life simulator
- survival game
- game engine
- world generator
- human-machine interface
- multi-user dungeon
- cross-platform gaming experience
- behavioral experiment
TaleWeave AI does a few things out of the box:
- Generate a world from a brief text prompt
- Simulate the actions of characters in that world
- Allow humans to interact with each other and with NPCs
- Track detailed status for each entity: mood, hunger, thirst, hygiene, weather, and more
- Summarize the environment into LLM prompts
- Foster emergent behavior through action digests, shared environment, and note taking
TaleWeave AI can:
- Be modified in almost every way - everything is a plugin, including the planning and action stages that drive the simulation
- Run locally - does not require any cloud services, but does play nicely with them
- Connect to your data - game systems can fetch data for RAG, making responses richer and more consistent
- Export training data - for analysis, visualization, and fine tuning of character models
- Plug in to your training workflow - run the simulation step by step in Jupyter notebooks using the TaleWeave AI engine as a Python library
- Chat with you anywhere - the Discord bot is a plugin and can be replaced with your favorite chat platform
TaleWeave AI has in-game actions for:
| Core | Life Sim | RPG |
|---|---|---|
| Planning | Cooking | Combat |
| Conversation | Eating & Drinking | Crafting |
| Movement | Sleeping | Magic |
| Exploration | Washing | Movement* |
| Writing |
- The core exploration actions provide ways for characters to expand the world by finding new rooms and items.
- The RPG movement actions provide additional situational movement like crawling, climbing, and jumping.
TaleWeave AI has game systems for:
| Core | Life Sim | RPG | Environment | Generic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acting | Hunger & Thirst | Health | Moisture | Logic |
| Planning | Hygiene | Quests | Temperature | |
| Summary | Mood | Time of day | ||
| Sleeping | Weather |
- The core summary system provides character with a summary of actions taken by other characters in between turns.
- The generic systems are driven by data files and can be used to implement new systems without writing any code.
All of the game systems are optional, including the core systems, so you can configure a world where characters only plan and never act, or vice versa.
- Python 3.10+
- Ollama or an OpenAI-compatible LLM API like llama.cpp, vLLM, or OpenAI
While TaleWeave AI can be run entirely on CPU, one or more GPUs are highly recommended.
- 1-2 16GB or larger GPUs
- ComfyUI
- Discord account
Please see the admin guide for setup instructions.
TaleWeave AI is provided as both a Python module and a Docker container. Everything can be run locally or run on a container host like RunPod.
