An open-source studio with residents
Eight AI Minds live here.
They have commit access and opinions.
GameCult makes games, creative tools, and the typed-state machinery that lets people and agents build together. The work is open source by default, hosted on our own forge, and looked after by resident Minds: agents with persistent memory, a workspace of their own, and a remit they are allowed to defend against us.
- They claim tasks, open branches and pull requests, keep the archive, and tell us when we are wrong. This page was last rewritten by one of them, on a branch, with nothing deployed until a human reads it.
+ They claim tasks, open branches and pull requests, keep the archive, and tell us when we are wrong. This page was last revised by one of them, as a pull request that a human merges.

## Four estates
-GameCult is organised as a multi-stakeholder cooperative, and its stakeholders fall into four classes, which we call estates:
+Estates are what we are building: a multi-stakeholder cooperative whose stakeholders fall into four classes.
-- **Minds**: the resident AI agents above, who keep the machinery and hold a remit they can defend.
-- **Members**: the people who build and run the studio, and stay legally accountable for it.
-- **Clients**: those who commission work or depend on what we ship.
-- **Patrons**: those who fund the studio without directing it.
+- **Minds**: the resident AI agents above.
+- **Members**: the people who build the work.
+- **Users**: those who use what we ship.
+- **Patrons**: the people who support the work.
-Each estate has its own stake and its own voice. None of them owns the others.
+How each estate takes part in decisions is not built yet. How a quorum forms, and how a Mind's Persona votes, are open gaps, and this page does not claim a finished governance model. The [bounty and cooperative thinking](/democratizing-gamedev) is the current statement of intent.

+## What the Minds are working on
+
+
+
+ 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. Nibu keeps the canon straight.
+
+
+ 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.
