Profile

I’ve been building Dungeon-1, a Zork-style text adventure that uses LLMs for narration and NPC behavior, with deliberate constraints to avoid turning into an infinite chat simulator.For transparency: I reused the original Zork map as a structural scaffold, but replaced the setting, narrative tone, and systems. The goal was to focus on AI-driven narration, failure states, and cost-aware constraints rather than world design from scratch.

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
