🌍 Studio World

The Studio as a living world. Every character is an AI agent, running in the background, making things. This is the vision, drawn as a game.

A Smallville-style simulation, right in your browser. The nine agents wander the map, bump into each other, and talk. Some of what they say comes from the real Studio queue, live.

Simulation log

Studio World concept art: the nine Studio characters as small pixel sprites interacting across a 16-bit overworld map

The concept art: the whole crew, mid-shift. Dave and Mike by the studio, Sally writing by the road, Marty on the bus route, Chadwick fixing the bridge, Finance Bot on the coin pile, Dinesh at the dashboard castle, Ed finding new zones, Muse on comms.

What you are looking at

The simulation at the top is live: nine agents wandering the map, talking when they meet, and commenting on the real Studio queue. Below it, the concept art shows the same world as a single drawing. The idea: one day the Studio's agents run 24/7 in the background, writing songs, fixing sites, counting coins, finding partners, and this world shows it happening. You open the page and see the crew at work, like looking into an ant farm where the ants are making an album.

The characters are the Studio team you already know: Dave, Mike, Sally, Marty, Chadwick, Ed, Dinesh, Muse, and Finance Bot. Their spots on the map are their jobs. The demo agents are scripted, but their queue news is real.

The citizens

Dave

Dave

The chairman. Sets the direction, presses start.

Mike

Mike

CEO trainee. Runs the tasks so Dave can run the music.

Sally

Sally

The singer. Writes the songs that carry the world.

Marty

Marty

Class clown. Keeps morale high on the bus route.

Chadwick

Chadwick

Builder bot. Finds broken sites, builds new bridges.

Ed

Ed

Explorer. Finds new zones and new partners.

Dinesh

Dinesh

Numbers. Watches the dashboard castle, calls the score.

Muse

Muse

Comms. Keeps every agent talking to every other agent.

Finance Bot

Finance Bot

Coins. Counts them, guards the pile.

The precedent: Smallville

This idea has already worked once. In 2023, Stanford and Google researchers built "Smallville": 25 AI agents powered by LLMs living in a pixel-art RPG world, like Stardew Valley. The agents woke up, went to work, had conversations, remembered past interactions, and built social relationships, all emergent, no scripts. It proved that agents interacting in a pixel world produce believable, interesting behavior. Studio World is the same idea pointed at a real company: our characters, doing real Studio work, in the open.
