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 keep answers ground­ed and reduce hal­lu­ci­na­tion risk.

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.

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 appear to help.

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 work­ing lit­er­a­ture review, and con­ver­sa­tions with researchers and prac­ti­tion­ers.

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.
