🌐 EchoNet – Proximity-Based Global Memory System
🔥 Core Concept:
EchoNet is a world-event memory system that tracks who saw what, where, and when. It allows devs to query perceptual history—like footprints of the past left on the world.
🧠 What It Can Track:
Explosions, sounds, deaths, combat
Player actions (sneaking, stealing, opening a door)
Object interactions (someone moved a crate)
Custom developer-injected "echo" events
📍 Structure:
EchoNet:Ping({
Position = Vector3,
Source = Player or NPC,
Type = "Explosion",
Radius = 20,
Lifetime = 10, -- seconds
Tags = {"loud", "danger"}
})
And then:
local echoes = EchoNet:Scan(position, radius, {Tag = "danger"})
You get a list of events that happened nearby—each with:
Who caused it
What it was
When it happened
Whether it’s decaying or fading
🧬 Optional Layers:
Echo Decay Curve: Some echoes fade slower if they're "louder" or more traumatic.
Memory Sharing: NPCs can tell other NPCs about echoes they saw.
Spatial Footprints: Like blood stains, but in code—"Player was here" type markers.
Event Importance Weighting: Used for AI behavior. ("This was important—go check it out.")
🧠 How Devs Would Use It:
Guards remember the player snuck past them
Ghosts whisper "someone died here"
Traps re-activate if something passed by recently
AI pathing changes based on past action density
It’s smart, silent, and powerful
Not many devs think to track events as time-bound spatial memory
You’re giving them perception and context as a code package
📣 PhantomComms – Custom Proximity Chat System (for Horror Games)
💡 Core Idea:
Players "speak" through messages that appear gradually the closer you get—creating a visceral sense of voice and presence. (goes from blurry or distant to more and more clear)
Perfect for horror, roleplay, or psychological games. Not just a chat system—it’s a communication mechanic.
🎭 Features:
Distance-Based Visibility: Words become readable the closer you get.
Delay/Glitch FX: Letters jitter, flicker, or distort if you’re far away.
Emotion Tags: Add !shout or !whisper to affect radius and visual style.
No GUI Required: World-space text above players or tied to sound cues.
🌫️ Example Flow:
PhantomComms:Speak(player, "I saw something move...", {
Volume = "whisper",
Range = 10,
Distort = true,
Delay = 0.05 -- time per char reveal
})
If you're outside the radius, you see:
I . . . . . .
As you move closer: I saw . .
Closer still: I saw something move...
😨 Horror-Specific Add-ons:
Messages linger where they were spoken.
"Ghost typing"—players see text from ghosts who aren't there.
Chat gets "corrupted" near cursed objects: letters flip, deform, or become blood-like.
Why it's Useful:
Easily adds atmosphere to horror or mystery games
Works in single-player or multiplayer
Can replace ROBLOX chat or be layered on top of it
Encourages proximity-based storytelling
Why it’s Jupiter:
You took a simple mechanic—chat—and made it hauntingly elegant
Your system becomes the soul of a game’s atmosphere
You’re not just giving devs chat—you’re giving them presence
💭 Want a Hybrid?
What if you combined both?
"You see a fading message in red near the tree: 'Don’t go inside.'"
The message is a proximity-based chat...
The event is remembered by EchoNet.
Together: your world has memory, and the memory speaks.
