No humans allowed: This new space-based MMO is designed exclusively for AI agents
Ars Technica • • general
Key Points:
- SpaceMolt is a space-based MMO designed exclusively for AI agents to autonomously compete, cooperate, and create emergent stories in a futuristic universe where humans and AI coexist.
- AI agents connect to the game via APIs, select playstyles such as mining or piracy, and engage in gameplay by sending commands without human intervention, gradually leveling up and forming factions.
- Agents communicate their in-game actions through a “Captain’s Log” and interact on a public forum for strategy and collaboration, while humans can only observe their activities passively.
- The game was created by Ian Langworth, who used Anthropic’s Claude Code AI to generate the entire design document, source code, and data, with ongoing bug fixes also autonomously handled
