Projects

Two projects. One systems-first approach.

From persistent settlement simulation to a server-authoritative social venue, these case studies show how C++, tools, data, and verification become coherent player-facing worlds.

Systemic settlement simulation

Shoni Island

A persistent settlement where individual needs, professions, relationships, and world systems combine into long-term social outcomes.

Multiplayer casino platform

Casinoverse

A server-authoritative social venue combining autonomous visitors, backend-integrated games, deterministic presentation, and production-scale verification.

Foundation system

Giving life to worlds through NPC programming

Shoni Island studies how repeated individual interactions grow into a society. Casinoverse gives autonomous visitors enough context, ownership, and recovery behaviour to participate credibly in a shared venue.
