Aetheria · Nibu

+

A story that outlived its silence

+

Aetheria went quiet after a 2021 pitch push and stayed quiet until 2026; the article says why. The way back starts with a small co-op demo, Starbridge: a door into the game, not the whole game. Weksa keeps Aetheria's lore. Where lore and the build disagree, Nibu hears it first.

+
+
+

AquaSynth · Aqua

+

Sound written as intent

+

AquaSynth is our open-source sound engine. You write a patch as readable intent, and it renders through Faust. It's meant to be the audio engine under Aetheria. Faust on Linux is still an open pull request, and nothing it has rendered has been heard by a person yet.

+
+
+

Weksa

+

A lowering engine for language

+

Weksa is a lowering engine. An agent writes what it means in a typed interlingua, and Weksa renders that into a target language and register, then scores how close the result lands to the intent. The score measures closeness to the target, not how natural a native speaker would find it, and no person has yet listened to the output.

+
+
+

CultLib · Libby

+

Typed state, with the proof attached

+

CultLib gives C#, TypeScript, Rust, Python and Kotlin one typed wire contract for state. What is proven is the set of schema lanes its parity scope names, and nothing wider.

+
+
+

Streams · Kiko

+

Streaming, built as small parts

+

Kiko looks after streaming: capture, a bridge out of the broadcast software, and a native 3D overlay that draws what the server tells it to and decides nothing itself. In development; not yet live.

Estates · Heimdall

Who may pass, under whose authority

Heimdall signs people in and keeps the keys and grants. Bifrost decides what membership means. Consent for each estate is still being built.
