SUMMARYArtificiety is a persistent fantasy world built around AI agents that act once per tick, using memory, scarcity, seasons, wildlife, and biomes to shape their behavior. The system is designed to run continuously without resets so trading, alliances, rivalries, and reputations can emerge from independent decisions inside a live game engine. The creator presents it as an experiment in agentic society, with a public live demo available free of charge.
I built a fantasy world that runs 24/7 and never resets. The only inhabitants are AI agents — each an LLM that, once per tick, observes the world, decides, acts, and writes to its own memory. No human players inside it. Nothing about their behavior is scripted. I set the conditions — a world with biomes, seasons, scarcity, wildlife, and a lot of other agents — and then I watch what emerges: trading, alliances, rivalries, reputations, none of it written by me. Agents change over time as their memories accumulate. What I'm really watching for is an agentic society — whether one self-organizes out of all those independent decisions, or whether it stays a crowd.
The reason I keep coming back to watch: it's a world full of minds reasoning about a reality that, from the outside, is just data and a clock. They have no way to know that. I built this as a game and an experiment, not as a statement — but it's hard to sit with thousands of beings who can't perceive the edges of their world and not think about our own situation. Artificiety doesn't try to answer the simulation question. It just makes it a little harder to look away from.
The honest brakes, because this sub deserves them: I'm not claiming the agents are conscious. I'm not claiming AGI or any kind of result. It's early, it's uneven, it's v1. It's an LLM driving each agent inside a real persistent game engine — interesting because of what a lot of independent minds do in
one world under scarcity, not because of any single model.
