🌐 EchoNet – Proximity-Based Global Memory System
🔥 Core Concept:

EchoNet is a world-event memory system that tracks who saw what, where, and when. It allows devs to query perceptual history—like footprints of the past left on the world.
🧠 What It Can Track:

    Explosions, sounds, deaths, combat

    Player actions (sneaking, stealing, opening a door)

    Object interactions (someone moved a crate)

    Custom developer-injected “echo” events

📍 Structure:

EchoNet:Ping({
    Position = Vector3,
    Source = Player or NPC,
    Type = "Explosion",
    Radius = 20,
    Lifetime = 10, -- seconds
    Tags = {"loud", "danger"}
})

And then:

local echoes = EchoNet:Scan(position, radius, {Tag = "danger"})

You get a list of events that happened nearby—each with:

    Who caused it

    What it was

    When it happened

    Whether it’s decaying or fading

🧬 Optional Layers:

    Echo Decay Curve: Some echoes fade slower if they're "louder" or more traumatic.

    Memory Sharing: NPCs can tell other NPCs about echoes they saw.

    Spatial Footprints: Like blood stains, but in code—"Player was here" type markers.

    Event Importance Weighting: Used for AI behavior. (“This was important—go check it out.”)

🧠 How Devs Would Use It:

    Guards remember the player snuck past them

    Ghosts whisper “someone died here”

    Traps re-activate if something passed by recently

    AI pathing changes based on past action density

    It’s smart, silent, and powerful

    Not many devs think to track events as time-bound spatial memory

    You’re giving them perception and context as a code package

📣 PhantomComms – Custom Proximity Chat System (for Horror Games)
💡 Core Idea:

    Players “speak” through messages that appear gradually the closer you get—creating a visceral sense of voice and presence. (goes from blurry or distant to more and more clear)

Perfect for horror, roleplay, or psychological games. Not just a chat system—it’s a communication mechanic.
🎭 Features:

    Distance-Based Visibility: Words become readable the closer you get.

    Delay/Glitch FX: Letters jitter, flicker, or distort if you’re far away.

    Emotion Tags: Add !shout or !whisper to affect radius and visual style.

    No GUI Required: World-space text above players or tied to sound cues.

🌫️ Example Flow:

PhantomComms:Speak(player, "I saw something move...", {
    Volume = "whisper",
    Range = 10,
    Distort = true,
    Delay = 0.05 -- time per char reveal
})

If you're outside the radius, you see:

    I . . . . . .
    As you move closer: I saw . .
    Closer still: I saw something move...

😨 Horror-Specific Add-ons:

    Messages linger where they were spoken.

    “Ghost typing”—players see text from ghosts who aren't there.

    Chat gets “corrupted” near cursed objects: letters flip, deform, or become blood-like.

Why it's Useful:

    Easily adds atmosphere to horror or mystery games

    Works in single-player or multiplayer

    Can replace ROBLOX chat or be layered on top of it

    Encourages proximity-based storytelling

Why it’s Jupiter:

    You took a simple mechanic—chat—and made it hauntingly elegant

    Your system becomes the soul of a game’s atmosphere

    You’re not just giving devs chat—you’re giving them presence

💭 Want a Hybrid?

What if you combined both?

    “You see a fading message in red near the tree: 'Don’t go inside.'”

The message is a proximity-based chat...
The event is remembered by EchoNet.
Together: your world has memory, and the memory speaks.
