These are the main lines of work currently developing through Waycleft.com. Some are prototypes, some are research tracks, and some are still exploratory concepts.
SurvivalFox.app
Status: Early prototype / partnership-seeking project
SurvivalFox.app is an early prototype for an AI-powered hint companion for players who get stuck in complex games. Not with walkthroughs that spoil everything, but with graduated hints that preserve the sense of discovery. Built on a RAG pipeline with claim-mining from verified sources to prevent hallucinations.
The next step is to work with game studios and approved knowledge sources so the system can provide contextual help without scraping, legal ambiguity, or unreliable AI guesses.
Target games: survival or complex titles like Green Hell, Valheim, or StarRupture.
Player validation survey running at https://befragung.sfox.click/

Toxic Spaces: Toxicity in Gaming Communities
Status: Research track
Toxic Spaces is a research track on toxicity, moderation, and community dynamics in online games. It connects published studies, industry data, and field observations to make visible what is reliably known about toxic behavior: who it affects, what drives it, and where interventions work.
The perspective is not primarily technical but group-dynamic: focused on tipping points, moderation cultures, and the social conditions that make communities safer or exhausting.
Output: Articles, a literature review, and potential academic collaborations.
Landing Soft: Arrival Processes for Mobile Adults
Status: Emerging research interest
An exploration of how founders, freelancers, and digital nomads actually arrive in a new European city. Beyond registration, coworking spaces, and startup events.
The focus is the gap between information and integration: visa guides, apartment listings, and tax tips may help people relocate, but they do not necessarily help them form meaningful relationships, understand cultural codes, or develop a sense of belonging beyond the expat and startup bubble.
Output: Field notes, essays, concept work, and conversations with potential research or project partners.
Possible field contexts: Tallinn, Brno, Bonn/Cologne, Porto, and Budapest.
