Project Overview
Gregary Luks is working on an experiment in how original characters and story worlds can come into existence.
Instead of starting with a finished product, he is exploring what happens when a world is introduced through small, playful interactions in the real world and allowed to grow from there.
Right now, that looks like a public discovery game. People encounter objects placed in physical areas, follow very simple rules, and decide for themselves whether they want to keep engaging. There’s no required path and no expected outcome.
This project is intentionally iterative. Each version is a way of learning , not by chasing scale or polish, but by paying attention to what feels alive.
How This Works
There’s no fixed roadmap here.
The direction is shaped by what feels alive and by protecting the playfulness of the work.
If something becomes rigid, overly serious, or optimized too early, that’s usually a sign to slow down or change course.
Small experiments, light rules, and room for surprise are features, not placeholders.
Where This Exists Right Now
At the moment, the project lives in:
- Public spaces
- Small live or pop-up interactions
- Quiet, opt-in moments
- Ongoing documentation of the process
It’s designed to be low-pressure and open-ended. People can engage briefly or deeply, or not at all.
Where This Might Go
We don’t know exactly where this will lead.
It could become a larger game.
It could become a story world people recognize.
It could eventually take the form of animation, comics, or something else entirely.
It could remain small and strange and local.
The point isn’t to force it into a specific outcome.
The focus is on staying present with the work long enough for something honest to emerge and letting any future form grow naturally from what already exists.
TLDR
This project is open by design.
Some people will stumble into it for a moment. Others may follow along for a while. A few might feel curious enough to contribute, collaborate, or simply pay attention as it unfolds.
There’s no expectation to participate in a particular way. Interest, attention, and curiosity are enough.
