Projects & Development

AI agents, game mods, robotics, voice synthesis, and streaming tools. Projects range from functioning systems to prototypes and planned concepts, with their current status noted below.

This is where I keep track of the technical and creative projects behind my streams, music, and independent research.

Featured Projects

01 / AI & INTERACTIONOperational / Active R&D

AuroraChan AI

Aurora is my flagship AI project, an interactive virtual performer with locally operated conversational AI capabilities, memory, tool use, and increasingly complex interactions with games and software.

She's an active part of my livestreams and an ongoing platform for experimenting with autonomous agents, adaptive behavior, model adaptation, and reliable real-time interaction.

Behind the dragon girl is a collection of software systems that I'm continually developing, testing, and improving. Persistent memory and context are ongoing experiments; physical-world interaction is a longer-term research direction.

02 / VOICE TECHNOLOGYBeta voicebank / Framework in development

ALIZARIN Engine

ALIZARIN is my original synthetic voice project under Constellation Virtual Media, exploring how to give virtual characters distinctive voices without starting from recordings of an existing human performer.

The project combines experimental synthesis techniques with modern voice technology, with the long-term goal of building a reusable open-source framework. An early voicebank has reached beta testing, and I'm looking for interested creators and technically curious testers who want to try it and provide feedback.

Ask About Beta Testing Explore ALIZARIN on GitHub

Or message vegalyrae on Discord. The framework and voicebank assets have different licensing and distribution considerations. Beta access is by inquiry, not a public voicebank download.

03 / PHYSICAL SYSTEMSLab assembly / Early research

Robotics & Embodied AI Lab

I'm putting together an independent robotics and electronics workspace, starting with an industrial Denso robotic arm and hardware for experimenting with sensors, control systems, and automation.

The arm is physically here. Initial power and commissioning are the next steps, while I continue acquiring electronics and laboratory equipment. The first goal is getting the lab operational and building a foundation for robotics experiments.

Longer term, I want to explore how AI agents can interact with physical systems in ways that are safe, observable, and controllable.

Game Modding & Integrations

I develop game mods, experiment with new mechanics, and build integrations that let Aurora interact with games. Some integrations are functional; others are prototypes, custom community mods, or work in progress.

Aurora integration: software that lets Aurora receive game information and perform supported actions.

Custom modding: my own modifications, content packs, and gameplay systems. These are related, but separate kinds of work.

Balatro

Aurora integration: Functional
Custom Joker pack: In development

Aurora can interact with Balatro. I'm also developing a custom Joker pack featuring friends of the channel and other VTubers; the pack is not released.

Minecraft

Aurora integration: Testing
Custom mods: In development

A main environment for experimenting with AI agents, custom mods, and community gameplay systems. Integration testing and mod development feed into the upcoming industrial, Create-focused SMP.

About Season 2

Voices of the Void

Aurora integration: Partially integrated

I'm working on ways for Aurora to interact with Voices of the Void, extending what an AI collaborator can do in one of the horror games I enjoy streaming.

Animal Crossing

LLM sandbox: Experimental

An experimental Animal Crossing LLM sandbox I'm building on to explore more dynamic game character interactions and potential future features. It builds on existing upstream work, rather than being a completed original mod.

Cyberpunk

Custom radio mod: Early development

Early work toward a custom radio experience in Cyberpunk, combining my interest in game modding and audio production.

Schedule I

Aurora interaction: Functional

A working example of Aurora interacting with a game. This is an agent integration, not an announcement of a publicly downloadable mod.

Music, Voicebanks & Creator Tools

Alongside producing music, I develop custom singing voicebanks and software to support my vocal synth workflow, including audio processing utilities and DAW workflow assistance.

Some internally developed tools are already part of how I make covers and original songs. Aurora-related music tooling is still in progress, with limited functionality today and a longer-term goal of more direct participation in the production environment.

I compose, arrange, tune, mix, and produce the music myself. Aurora's conversational involvement is an experiment in interactive collaboration, not autonomous production of the releases.

PUBLIC SOURCE / DISCORD UTILITY

Discord LinkBot

LinkBot is a modular Python Discord bot I developed to make sharing links in Discord servers safer and more useful.

It combines suspicious-link checks, optional external security scanning, richer previews for supported websites, and configurable tools for managing how links are handled in a server.

There are also a few Legend of Zelda-inspired surprises mixed in, because apparently I couldn't resist.

Upcoming & Planned Projects

These projects are in early development or planned for future work.

Returning soon / In development

Community Doodle Model

A community-powered drawing experiment I plan to bring back soon after prioritizing Aurora's core development. The idea is to let Aurora learn from opt-in submissions and create drawings during livestreams, with contributor consent built into the project.

Planned concept

VTuber Card Overlay

A collectible card and stream interaction concept built around community participation, viewer rewards, and character-themed abilities. Still on the drawing board.

Early concepts / Unreleased

Indie Game Development

I also have a few independent game projects taking shape behind the scenes. They're still early, and I'm keeping some of the details under wraps until there's more to show.

Planned / In development

Constellation SMP: Season 2

An Industrial Minecraft Project in the Works

I'm working on the next iteration of my community Minecraft SMP, this time with a much more industrial, Create-focused direction. It will involve custom development, modding, and new gameplay systems, with details kept under wraps until we're ready to reveal them.

Research & Collaboration

I'm interested in collaborating with developers, researchers, creators, and hardware companies on projects that fit what I'm building. That includes AI systems, robotics experiments, game integrations, voice technology, interactive media, and tools for creative work.

I'm especially interested in hardware and equipment collaborations that could help expand the robotics lab.
