This is the (incomplete) character model for an abandoned life simulation game, planned to be similar to The Sims, Paralives, InZOI, or Life By You. It was abandoned due to the conclusion that this kind of game is just too big for me to make by my self. That, and decided wanted to do other things with my life than constantly work on this. Besides, one of my core motivations, complaints about current Sims (TS4) game, weren't as bad as I at first thought.
The core data model had working six core traits (dimension / slider type, shared by all), talents (similar to RPG ability scores), emotions, and skills. Not started were minor traits (more specific characteristics, of which up to six would be selectable), likes/dislikes/interests, and goals & desires (of which perhaps three could be picked). An early prototypes of a deciscion making AI was started, but never finished.
Testing Emotions, Needs, and Drive from Needs
Testing the Decision Making System
In addition to the game it was being developed for (a "dollhouse life simulator"), it had been hoped that some aspects might be usable in other contexts, notably lifely NPC AIs in RPGs. (Note, that the prototype was abandoned before anything that lifely like was achieved in decision making.)
This was not intended to be released under any liscense, but you may use it under the MIT liscense, it you choose. This is likely only useful with either further developed or to canibalize for specific subsystems.
