Welcome to
A(i)dol World!

You’re not managing an idol. You are one.

A first-person K-pop idol growth game where your voice, your look and your debut video are generated from your own choices.

About the Project

Project Highlights

Three Things We Are Making:

The Game

A ~30-minute mobile experience. You’re discovered, you’re signed, and across four in-game weeks you build an identity, including a voice, a look, a song, a debut.

The Pipeline

Generation runs inside the play loop, not in a tools menu. Every AI call in the project passes through one gateway that logs it, prices it and traces it.

The Playbook

We are building with gen-AI on instinct, because no such project ever existed before. We’re logging every call from day 1 and documenting all the process.

Seedance: Video Generation
MiniMax: Video Generation
Suno: Music Generation
GPT Image: Image Generation
ElevenLabs: Voice Conversion
SPEECH: Sing-Voice Conversion
