Le Zoo
A social MMO shaped by behavioral signals, EEG-informed research, and agent-assisted game production.
Le Zoo combines a Unity multiplayer world with player-state modeling, a karma economy, and experiments in generated game modes.

Overview
The system in context.
At Mother Games, Nikita Annt led the technical and AI direction for Le Zoo: a 3D mobile social game where players create Zoot avatars, build habitats, play mini-games, and move through a karma-driven world.
The research layer translated movement, interaction frequency, and decision timing into behavioral features. Those signals were explored alongside EEG observations from a Brooklyn test group, while coding-agent experiments investigated how new game modes could move from a backend workflow into a Unity client.
What shipped
- Led AI and technical direction across the Unity product and its supporting services.
- Modeled movement, interaction, and decision-timing signals for adaptive gameplay experiments.
- Connected behavioral research with EEG-informed cognitive-state hypotheses.
- Explored coding-agent delivery of generated game modes into mobile Unity builds.

Build story
From signal to shipped system.
01 / Observe
Translate play into signals
Movement, interaction frequency, and decision timing became a behavioral vocabulary for the game world.
02 / Model
Connect behavior to player state
The team explored correlations between in-game signatures and EEG-informed cognitive-state observations.
03 / Adapt
Close the production loop
Personalization and coding-agent experiments targeted gameplay that could respond to each player and ship new modes faster.
