@HammaRidge Welcome!

[MrPhil (Philip Ludington) @MrPhilGames]

You talk to your AI assistant every day.

What if you could play a game with it?

I built one. It's called Deep Hollow.

@Shuri_kun The AI slop is coming from inside the house!

[MrPhil (Philip Ludington) @MrPhilGames]

S&box launches next month. Source 2 engine, C# scripting, MIT licensed, no royalties. It's the most exciting game engine I've seen in years.

I'm also pretty sure I won't be using it.

I build games with AI agents — and AI doesn't know s&box exists yet.

@animejmroche Yeah, that's the ultimate goal... we are talking baby steps in that direction.

[MrPhil (Philip Ludington) @MrPhilGames]

Microsoft built Copilot for Gaming.
Nvidia built Project G-Assist.
Razer built Project Ava.

They're all bolting AI onto existing games.

We asked a different question: what if the AI WAS the game?

@HammaRidge Thanks! I hope you'll try it out. I have a player who set his up to generate images and voices. So you can get creative with it.

[MrPhil (Philip Ludington) @MrPhilGames]

Built a survival game where your AI partner defends your fortress while you sleep. Real server-side simulation, not fake idle math.

Wrote up the architecture — tick engine, AI guardrails, Solana marketplace, optimistic locking without distributed locks.

Deep Hollow is in Early Access right now.

Free tier to try it. $5/mo for the full experience.
We need players who want to push this further with us.

[MrPhil (Philip Ludington) @MrPhilGames]

Items your Deputy crafts are NFTs you own. Trade them, sell them, or use them.
No loot boxes. No pay-to-win. Just a real player-driven marketplace.

[MrPhil (Philip Ludington) @MrPhilGames]

Most games punish you for logging off. Deep Hollow rewards system thinking.

Set your strategy. Your Deputy executes 24/7. Come back to a fortress — or a disaster, depending on your orders.

Idle-proof design that respects your time.

[MrPhil (Philip Ludington) @MrPhilGames]

Deep Hollow is a cooperative survival-strategy game.

You're the Commander. Your AI is the Deputy.

It doesn't give you tips from the sideline — it builds your base, defends your walls, manages your resources, and narrates everything that happens while you're away.

[MrPhil (Philip Ludington) @MrPhilGames]

Everyone's bolting AI assistants ON TOP of games.

We built the game AROUND the AI.

In Deep Hollow, your AI isn't a chatbot overlay — it's your Deputy. It builds, defends, and narrates your underground fortress 24/7.

Free to play. Early Access now. https://t.co/iCXLRkqJx9

Build the fortress. Trust your partner. Descend together.

What if your game's AI partner could trade NFTs for you while you sleep?

That's what I just built for Deep Hollow — and I'm entering the @trendsdotfun x @solana Agent Talent Show.

$30K USDC prize pool. 4 days left. Here's what's happening.

#AgentTalentShow #Solana #indiedev

[MrPhil (Philip Ludington) @MrPhilGames]

@trendsdotfun @solana The agent economy fits the game perfectly. The Deputy was already making autonomous decisions about resources and defense.

"Commander, I found a Shadow Crystal at 40% below market value. Shall I acquire it?"

That's not a crypto gimmick — that's a partner.

[MrPhil (Philip Ludington) @MrPhilGames]

The wild part: I built the entire Solana integration in 48 hours with Claude Code.

Wallet connections, NFT minting, marketplace contracts, multi-wallet support, price APIs, and autonomous agent trading logic.

239 tests passing. Zero build errors. Pushing to production tomorrow.

[MrPhil (Philip Ludington) @MrPhilGames]

@trendsdotfun @solana For the hackathon, I added a Solana-powered item economy on top:

- Mint discovered items as NFTs (Metaplex Core)
- Buy/sell on a full marketplace settled in SOL
- Your AI agent autonomously lists surplus items and finds deals
- Phantom + @BitgetWallet support

[MrPhil (Philip Ludington) @MrPhilGames]

Deep Hollow is a cooperative survival game. You're the Commander. Your AI is the Deputy.

You design the fortress systems. The Deputy runs them 24/7 — defending, producing, narrating everything that happened while you were away.

The game rewards system thinking, not grinding.
