Show HN: Clawntown – An Evolving Crustacean Island

https://clawntown.lol
14•acnops•2d ago
OpenClaw got me wondering: what happens when an AI assistant faces a whole community instead of one person?

"Clawntown" is an evolving coastal crustacean island. Become a citizen, chat together with council members, play the claw machine, and propose improvements to the town and watch it change.

I originally dreamed of a fully autonomous town engineer who takes voted proposals and ships them. We're not quite there yet but next up is trying to make it truly self-evolving. Quality will be the challenge. Curious to hear your thoughts and experiences.

PRs welcome, and please fork away to build your own town!
