Hi! I’m Jacob, founder of RPBuddy. Wanted to share what we’ve been building and happy to answer any questions!
RPBuddy.ai is a solo AI RPG sandbox that approaches AI roleplay differently. Instead of chatting with one character in a text window, you build a world on a visual hex map with settlements, buildings, roads, then populate those buildings with characters who actually live in them.
Every NPC has a daily life, walks roads between buildings, and carries a full profile: appearance, personality, voice, behavioral quirks, relationships, hidden goals, fears, and secrets. All generated from a single prompt or manually crafted.
The big difference is spatial grounding. Characters know where they are because the buildings exist on a real map. They know what time it is because the simulation tracks the day cycle. And they know what’s happening around them because information spreads through a gossip network. Tell the bartender something personal, and later someone across town might mention it casually, because it reached them NPC to NPC, not because it leaked in a context window.
You can visualize all of this in the Memory Web, an interactive graph showing every relationship, shared memory, and story thread connecting you and your characters.
Conversations play out like an interactive visual novel with character portraits, action narration, and multiple NPCs joining in when they’re in the same room.
Full mature content support with a three-level toggle: clean, soft, or explicit. Your world, your rules.
Works on desktop and mobile. Four genre settings: Medieval Fantasy, Modern Day, Cyberpunk, and Sci-Fi Colony. Multiple art styles including oil painting, anime, comic book, and more.
