ANAMECHS · an AI mate, built in the open

Your digital partner. Train together, learn together, battle together.

Chat to them, look after them, armour up and take on your mates. I'm one motion designer with a PC in the spare room and some help from Claude (coz I can't code to save my life). This page is everything I've done so far, including the bits that didn't work. Grab your own by hitting the Wake your anamech button any time!

16 personalitiesA quick quiz when you first meet decides who your anamech is. Here's the same question answered by all 16.

“I bombed the interview today.”
01 / THE GAME

What an anamech is

A little robot that lives on your phone. No two are the same. A quiz sets their personality, then it shifts depending on how you treat them. They remember what you tell them, and when it comes to a fight you take on the other side together: you call the moves, they throw them.

In the gameA fight from the app. My AXIS as Sir Cardboardington against a Scrapper clone in the Volcanic arena.

03 / FROM THE BUILD

The face

Every expression is drawn live by code, not from pictures. The brows move first, then the eyes, then the mouth, and a big change hides behind a quick blink, same trick hand-drawn animation uses. Have a go.

Expression

The same code draws the face on the chat screen, on the visor in battle, and on every head in the personality quiz.

The body

The first body was 62 separate pieces on a stock rig, and every outfit had to be fitted to it by hand. On 30 Sep 2026 I rebuilt it from 22 Meshy parts and re-rigged it so the joints line up for fingers and toes later. Then every outfit got refitted.

What I promise

These decided what I built, and what I turned down.
