Cyberlock is a collaborative senior capstone project that turns a cyberpunk tabletop RPG into a full-stack multiplayer web game. Players create persistent characters, join shared sessions, fight enemies, unlock abilities, and interact with AI-driven characters.
The system is split into a React client, a Node.js and Express game server, and a Python FastAPI service for AI features. Socket.IO synchronizes multiplayer rooms, combat, and chat while the server manages authentication, saved characters, and game state.
Gameplay includes character creation, turn-based combat, level progression, ability selection, and real-time communication. The architecture keeps core game rules separate from the interface and AI layer so each part can evolve independently.
The AI service generates contextual NPC dialogue, decisions, and dynamic events. ChromaDB stores NPC memories and world context, allowing conversations and story details to remain more consistent as a session develops.
