An idle technological progression game for Android written in Java. Superintelligent is a story driven app based around a newly sentient artificial intelligence.
The plot of Superintelligent is advanced by the user's actions in game play. Over time, the intelligence is able to research upgrades to its software and the facility surrounding it. As more research is unlocked and more time passes, the user is presented with new lore and background information concerning the nature of the intelligence, Project Renaissance, and the organization behind it, Mathesis International.
The research in the game is represented by a 'tech tree' which can be found in other games such as Hearts of Iron IV or the Civilization series. As upgrades on this tree are researched, new ones are revealed and unlocked for the user to research next.
The plot of the game centers around the Chief intelligence of Project Renaissance. The progression of the intelligence's path to sentience and conflict with the scientists that created it mirrors many of the concerns that real experts on the subject have. Partially inspired by Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by author Nick Bostrom, the very real concerns that he highlights, and my own interest in the subject.
