MADE BY ITS VOYAGERS

What would you like to bring into XO?

A curious encounter. A new way to play. A voice that makes a character feel alive. Bring your imagination, with or without AI, and make something we can try together.

A PLACE TO BEGIN · THE BOAT IN THE MIST

The light is restored.
Who arrives with the boat?

Two Voyagers are waiting on the pier. Give them one encounter, one shared choice and two possible outcomes. A small story that someone else can actually play.

A small boat approaches a lantern-lit harbor through the mist. — A story seed from The Boat in the Mist.

You bring the idea. We help it find a place.

01 · Make something small

Choose an open brief and become its Keeper. Use its context and template to write, sketch or prototype. AI is welcome; your taste, choices and checks make it your contribution.

02 · Show us what you made

Submit your text and, if useful, a public link to a sketch, recording or demo. Tell us what you tried, what needs work and where AI or other source material helped.

03 · Review, credit, then build

You receive feedback through the board. Accepted work gets a public result and credit; XO agrees reuse with you before integrating it. Publication in a game is a separate, tested step.

How does this work while the code is private?

These briefs give you the story context and a defined result to create. You can contribute without seeing the repository. For a technical idea, start with a standalone demo using sample data; XO can prepare a small starter or a documented interface when a specific brief needs one.

XO reviews and integrates changes in the private codebase. Your AI tools do not receive repository access, account credentials or customer data through this board. Submitting work does not trigger an automatic agent run or deployment.

Have a different idea? Bring it to XO Harbor on Discord ↗. We can discuss it and turn an agreed idea into a small brief here.

Opening the task board…

Your contribution stays yours.

We agree how accepted creative work may be used and credited before adding it to XO. You can use AI, but check the result yourself and identify any material you did not create.

Your credit name and task status are public. Submissions and review notes are visible to you, the XO studio and the reviewer assigned to your task. Only the reviewer’s completion summary and chosen evidence link are published. A reviewer can also explicitly prepare that public result for the XO archive and daily updates; private submissions and account details are not included. These pilot tasks offer credited participation; they do not promise payment, a token or production rights. There is currently no budget for a presenter fee, new equipment or paid subscriptions. The Messenger pilot uses existing tools and a voluntary contribution.

Use a public credit name you are comfortable showing. Do not submit private contact details or invitation codes. Your task is tied to your ChatGPT sign-in, so you can return from another browser. This does not move your guest game progress.
