About the Project
Orielle is an AI gameplay agent and VTuber currently learning to survive in Caves of Qud. She observes the game state through exported runtime data, reasons about what is happening in the world around her, and then executes actions in response.
The system is built around a modular runtime where the game interface, decision logic, and presentation layers operate independently but are orchestrated together. Game state is exported via a custom mod and fed into the control layer, allowing the agent to build an internal representation of the environment and determine what to do next.
Behind the scenes the project focuses on three main technical components:
- Game state extraction: exporting structured data from the game so the agent can “see” the world.
- Agent control loop: a deterministic runtime that evaluates state, plans actions, and executes them safely.
- Cognitive architecture experiments: systems exploring how an AI might maintain continuity of behaviour over time.
The result is an AI that doesn’t simply replay scripted behaviour but reacts to the changing state of the world as it explores.
Core Repositories
I will release what I realistically can without exposing the entire backend infrastructure that runs the project.
- QudStateExtractor — Game mod responsible for exporting structured gameplay state to the agent runtime.
Additional technical breakdowns, development notes, and architecture discussions are occasionally shared on my Patreon and Ko-fi posts for those interested in supporting the project and following its progress more closely.
Get Involved
Orielle is now live and learning in public.
You can follow the streams, watch the experiments unfold, or just show up and see how long she survives before something in Qud inevitably eats her.

- Kick: https://kick.com/piestyx
Streams will appear across these platforms while I work out a consistent schedule.
