The lifeness.ai game
Lifeness is a new concept of physics-based simulation game, centred on virtual creatures (VITA agents) with procedurally generated bodies and brains powered by Reinforcement Learning algorithms.
This means they are not strictly programmed to do anything in specific, but instead they learn through training tasks designed by the players.
Players own their characters and are entirely free to trade VITA agents directly with other players or on secondary markets, like any other crypto collectible. Trained VITA agents can also compete in online tournaments and challenges, which are based on competitive tasks.
VITA Agents
Body
nft
A unique representation of all of their physical components encoded as a digital DNA (stored on-chain) and distributed as non-fungible tokens (VITA token)
Brain
nft
Hash to a trained machine learning model (off-chain, hosted on decentralized storage), associated with a VITA token and distributed as a non-fungible token
BREEDING MECHANICS
Breeding (digitally) can be a very intuitive and natural way to procedurally create new characters
We want to create a smart contract to govern the “birth” of new creatures, mixing the body information of two existent VITA tokens to mint a new one
TRAINING MECHANICS
Players can design tasks to guide creatures to acquire specific behaviours, whether planning to participate in competitions or just for fun
VITA agents get better and better at tasks throughout the training process, and the user plays an essential role as the performance of the creatures depends on how the player structures training tasks, as well as the intrinsic characteristics of the VITA
LIFENESS AS ENTERTAINMENT PLATFORM
After trained, VITA agents can be used in online competitions that run on a secure environment guaranteed by smart contracts
We are also planning to build a live broadcasting system to “televise” the physical-simulated competitions following the streaming format of competitive sports on the internet, integrated with a reward system where the users can earn ADA by participating on paid contests
