Stuck? Roll the dice

🎲 Idea generator

Pick a track and roll. Click any card to lock it, then roll again to remix the rest. Treat the result as a starting point, not a spec.

Tip: add a score booster (3D, voice, or agents that learn between runs) to make it stand out.

✅ Project readiness check

⚠️ Common pitfalls

These are the traps that turn a multiplayer-agent project into "just another chatbot."

ALL TRACKS

A chatbot with a face

✕ One assistant with an avatar answering questions.
✓ 3+ agents with their own goals who talk to each other, not just to you.
ALL TRACKS

Secretly scripted

✕ A hard-coded plot that the agents just narrate.
✓ Real choices with real consequences. Run it twice to prove the outcome changes.
ALL TRACKS

Text-only agents

✕ Agents whose decisions only show up as chat messages.
✓ Every decision becomes movement or action on screen.
ALL TRACKS

Invisible reasoning

✕ Things happen and nobody knows why.
✓ A decision log: "Rex betrayed the crew because he was promised the pod."
TRACK 02

NPCs in disguise

✕ Agents that wait for the player to talk to them.
✓ Agents act on their own schedule. The world changes while humans are away.
TRACK 03

Vibes-only feedback

✕ "Great job! 8/10."
✓ Quote what the human said and tie every score to evidence from the session.
