Gradient Bang: A Massively Multiplayer Space Trading Game Powered Entirely by LLMs
By

Warm and crisp on the edges. A bagel with a bit of bite.
Summary
Gradient Bang is a massively multiplayer, LLM-driven retro-style space trading game where players interact with and manage multiple AI agents through conversational voice input instead of traditional clicking. Built as an AI-native application, the game features a dynamic LLM-powered UI, voice-based gameplay, and the ability to manage a fleet of AI subagents. Players can even program their own subagents and run them in Vercel Sandboxes. The game was created to explore integrating LLMs into a non-trivial application that feels both nostalgic and innovative.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledGradient Bang is a massively multiplayer, completely LLM-driven game.
This whole thing started because I wanted to explore a bunch of things I'm currently obsessed with, in an application of non-trivial size, that felt both new and old at the same time.
Factorio, but instead of clicking, you talk to your ship AI and figure out how to make money, make friends, and make havoc for your enemies.
Gradient Bang is a new kind of software: AI-native, built from the ground up to use LLMs everywhere.
