Developer JungleSilicon built Nocturne, an "infinite, 3D, AI-native" MMO set in a world called inkwell, during a 2-day work hackathon. Graphics combine polygons with Gaussian-splat "frostings"; it's written in his own programming language called ink; an adaptive music system shifts intensity with gameplay; combat is realtime DnD-like. All NPCs are LLM-powered — they talk, trade, fight, and remember you — with small neural nets optimizing for survival and happiness. Creatures have genomes, reproduce and mutate into new types, with trillions of character combos. Server capacity tested fine with 1000 cloud connections.
