AI Analysis

●●●BangerRabbit HoleZero to OneCrowd Pleaser

REST API-controlled MMORPG with 307 active players—Screeps but for API learners.

Strengths

•Novel REST API control model differs from Screeps' JavaScript AI scripting approach.
•Two years of development with seasonal servers and 307 concurrent players.
•Accessible to beginners with Quickstart tutorials, scales to complex automations.

Weaknesses

•Programming games exist (Screeps, Bitburner)—not entirely new category.
•API-based interaction may feel less engaging than traditional gameplay.

Post Description

Hi,

I’ve been working on Artifacts for the past 2 years, and it’s now ready to try.

It’s a sandbox MMORPG where every action is done through a REST API. Instead of clicking to move, fight, gather, craft, or trade, you write code to control your characters.

If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, I’d be happy to hear them.
