Hi everyone,

I’m building Fenlings, a personality-driven desktop life-sim in Godot 4.

Fenlings is a digital creature that lives on your desktop, learns from interaction, evolves through hybrid personality traits, and unlocks new mechanics over time. It’s system-focused and designed for long-term growth.

Current prototype includes:

  • Physics-based creature controller

  • Persistent learning/memory system

  • Trait-driven multi-stage evolution framework

  • Modular animation setup

  • Dedicated 2D character artist

I’m using AI tools to accelerate prototyping, but I care about clean architecture and scalability.

Looking For

Godot 4 Systems Developer

  • Strong GDScript knowledge

  • Experience with AI/state machines

  • Clean, modular design mindset

  • Interest in emergent creature behavior

Bonus: networking experience for future multiplayer features.

Long-Term Vision

Phase 1: Premium desktop companion
Phase 2: Mobile sync
Phase 3: Multiplayer desktop visits
Phase 4: Shared Fenling ecosystem concept "Multiple Game cross progression system"

Steam release is the long-term goal.

Currently prototype stage – open to revenue share discussion once direction is solid.

If interested, DM or reply with:

  • Your Godot experience

  • What excites you about creature simulation systems

Let’s build something alive.

I'm a Godot dev with some experience with state machines and have been using them in my own creature project. I love creature simulations because there's just something so fun about being in an environment with your own unique little creatures.

Having any form of help would be amazing, i know little to nothing about this kind of stuff, and well just got frustrated with not being able to act on my game designs. alot of my creation has been supported else where, and i lack full understanding but what i lack in that i make up for in commitment aha 

Got any place we can talk live? Like Discord?

I do yes :D fen1066
