I built Aithena, an engine-agnostic NPC AI framework in modern C++17. It combines behavior trees, utility AI, GOAP, perception, memory, emotions, relationships, factions, economy, quests, and living-world simulation in one modular system.

I also created a WebAssembly demo that runs directly in the browser, visualizing emotional contagion, memory decay, and rumor propagation between NPCs.

I haven't had much time this week to work on my game, but here's a small recap of the week:

I made it bigger and more rogue like. It got more repetitive and boring so I scaled it back to arenas.

8 compact encounters, randomized arenas, upgrade combos and a cleaner cartoon look.

The focus now is making each run feel different and update the art style.

I'm not happy about the current look, so I've gone back to the concept stage to find a design style I'm happy with.

🚀 Building in Public — Paresh Textile

Today, I recorded a walkthrough of one of my projects — Paresh Textile — and shared the project on GitHub.

It’s always satisfying to look back at something you’ve built and see how much you’ve learned along the way.

🎥 In this recording, I’m showcasing the project, its implementation, and the work behind it.

One project at a time. One improvement at a time. Keep building. Keep learning. 🚀

Made this one to show how AI image generation actually works inside Canva.

The animation walks through the whole flow, picking a style, choosing a size, and landing on your final image.

Canva has 19 ready made styles and a bunch of output formats, so the goal was just to make all of that feel simple, not overwhelming.

Nice choice to animate the whole path from style selection to final output—the sequence makes a feature-heavy workflow easy to follow. Keeping the many formats from feeling overwhelming is the real win.
