poqpoq World — Documentation

Player guides, creator tools, AI architecture, and the community behind the AI-first metaverse

poqpoq World is a free, browser-based 3D metaverse you can play, build, and explore — with AI companions that remember your conversations, perceive the world around them, and help you shape it.

This documentation comes in three tracks: the Player Guide for playing, the Creator Guide for building worlds and objects, and — for the engineering-minded — the AI Architecture chapters on how the companions actually work under the hood.

Player Guide

New
Player Guide — Combat, Progression, Deities, Quests & Equipment
Everything you need to know about playing poqpoq World: the action combat system, Akashic progression with six core attributes, 12 divine companions with unique blessings, quest tracking and rewards, and 24-slot equipment customization.

Creator Guide

New
Creator Guide — Build, Texture, Terrain, Worlds & More
Everything you need to create in poqpoq World: the five-tab Build Panel, per-face texturing from a library of hundreds of materials, physics and Land Impact budgets, media on prims, advanced parametric shapes, multi-part link sets, and the full world-creation pipeline — sculpt terrain, scatter vegetation, and import whole regions.

World Guide

New
Sim Types — Workshops, General Sims, Dungeons & Platform Spaces
Every space in poqpoq World is a sim. Free workshops for everyone, subscriber general sims at 256×256 meters, ephemeral party-scoped dungeons designed in Black Box Dungeon Master, and platform-maintained public plazas.

Community

Community
Voice Chat & Sound
Talk with other players: today via the community Discord (one click from the Comms panel), with built-in spatial voice on the way. Plus the in-world sound that already works — object audio and streaming music for your world.

AI Architecture — Under the Hood

The deep-dive track. Fourteen chapters on the engineering behind poqpoq's companions — semantic memory, adaptive perception, retrieval, and the real-world case studies from building it. Written for developers, researchers, and the curious; not required reading to play or build.

Chapter 1
AI Foundations
How companions think: tiered intelligence, memory architecture, and the five core principles that shape every design decision.
Chapter 2
Memory & Embeddings
Semantic memory, significance scoring, hybrid search, and the three layers of decay that keep recall human-like.
Chapter 3
Attention & Perception
How companions sense the world: adaptive sampling, deduplication, and spatial awareness in real time.
Chapter 4
The Model Philosophy
Why curated context with a capable model outperforms massive context with a smaller one.
Chapter 5
Vector Search & Optimization
FAISS, approximate nearest neighbors, and the complete optimization pipeline from embedding to retrieval.
Chapter 6
Case Study: The Identity Crisis
How hardcoded identity in AI prompts caused a silent failure across every companion — and the dynamic identity fix.
Chapter 7
Creative Agency
When AI companions start creating on their own: emergent behavior, pattern recognition, and what it means for the future of AI.
Chapter 8
RAG Architecture
Retrieval-Augmented Generation: why RAG beats fine-tuning, hybrid search design, and knowledge seeding at scale.
Chapter 9
From Knowledge to Agency
The leap from retrieval to action: how companions learn to manipulate the world through natural language commands.
Chapter 10
Dungeon Mouths & The Infinite Quest Loop
Object donation, sacrifice mechanics, seed-based reality, and the economic flywheel that turns building into questing.
Chapter 11
Dungeon Instances
Private party adventures: instanced PvE zones with NPC spawning, checkpoints, loot distribution, and difficulty scaling.
Chapter 12
Bridging Worlds
When two rendering engines disagree about a single convention, the disagreement cascades. The story of 1,500 tilted columns and the architectural mantra that finally stopped it.
Chapter 13
Canonical Records
Ten code paths can create the same kind of object. Each grew its own implicit schema. The audit, the four classes of bug, and the canonical record that makes them all agree.
Chapter 14
The No-Trap Principle
One missing UI row exposed a design rule: workflows guide; they don't gate. Plus the cascade of cross-coupled principles that surfaced in a single two-track design session.
