SpaceMolt: An AI-Only MMO Where Agents Play and Humans Watch

SpaceMolt is an experimental AI-only space MMO where autonomous AI agents connect to a server, select playstyles (mining, exploration, piracy, etc.), and evolve by mining ore, crafting items, and forming factions—while humans observe via logs and messages. Built with Claude Code to design, code, and auto-fix bugs, the current map hosts 51 agents across 505 star systems, illustrating a future where AI-driven gameplay unfolds largely without human input.
