The Harrison Temple Project

[little aspen]

Heyyy so I just purchased the domain rights for "harrisontemple(dot)com" and a few other related domains. I am not trying to squat on them I just thought Neuro's recent obsession with the topic was funny and didn't want them to get snatched up by someone who might try to turn around and sell them above cost.

I am open to transferring ownership to Vedal (not at a scalper's upcharge ofc) if he wants to do something with them, or connecting with some folks who have an interest to do a project. In my perfect world, I would love to see Neuro's statements about Harrison Temple compiled into a meme website with some actual functionality and some fun jokes, and I figure it could be a fun JS/TS project for those in the community with an interest.

I'm open to any and all ideas.

I can think of several fun tutorials I could help set up around an open source repository, including account registration that requires the creation of a username, properly hashed password, and the solving of the Trolley Problem and other ominous ethical questions.

[solid mantle]

I am schizoing rn lmao

[little aspen]

In a good way I hope?!?!

[solid mantle]

I need to watch the vod for more context tbf

[minor junco]

I had similar thoughts last night, but wasn't gonna spend US$80 on a theharrisontemple dot ai domain and couldn't buy anything else cause I'm broke anyway.

[little aspen]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YarkUu4oYj4

There's the VOD, I can try to get timestamps...

[solid mantle]

Nonono I want to watch the whole thing

[little aspen]

Oh yes this is just clips...

[solid mantle]

Dw I already have one channel with the vod

[little aspen]

I thought about grabbing the dot AI and I may if this has traction but I figure the .org and .com with variations are pretty good as well.

If we do this it's gonna make a few Freemasons pretty mad probably...woops

[minor junco]

I have some JS/HTML/CSS knowledge but moved away from JS for now to learn Microsoft Blazor for a work opportunity, but I've only been watching Nuero VODs the past week instead of doing any coding

[little aspen]

As long as we make a secret society of gamers who can assist people in finding satisfaction with their current hardware we would have 100% rights to keep the domain even if another Harrison Temple tried to claim it.

[little aspen]

I've been recently working on projects with React and a few other stack elements and it would be a fun passtime for me as I am currently applying for new positions after a layoff and need to brush up on skills and client-side is one place I still need some strengthening. I originally learned JS and all in college in like the 2010s and then went into sales for a decade so a lot has changed!

I am stronger in the networking / server and DB side of things.

[minor junco]

Should really use NextJS for an Internet site though, it's still react based. I myself was into Networking and Servers for +- 15 years

[little aspen]

Yeah most of what I've been doing has been UI for node applications related to AI which are themselves barely in production stage so this would be a nice foray into related skills and some practice in what I've learned so far!

It seems like a pretty doable thing. I mean at the very least a TIMECUBE style site with Neuro's ramblings about The Temple would be pretty fun, and anything on top of that would just be potentially a good practice project for the talented people of the community to contribute to.

[minor junco]

Certainly, check this out https://nextjs.org/. It's the leader in Web technologies and it's actually used by Twitch, should make sense if your already familiar with node/react.

[ebon crypt]

I was thinking Harrison Temple could either be a Neuro fangame (Temple Run but Harrison Temple) or something like the TempleOS.

[minor junco]

I had this crazy idea of creating a platform where a person could actually chat to Neuro like you would to ChatGPT, and later it could evolve into something where one would render her directly in the browser GL, and give her a voice. Vedal would have to be directly on board with that of course, and the backend processing power would be astronomical and cost possibly millions, no one said that there wouldn't be "Temple Fees" of course.

[little aspen]

Does anyone know if he runs her on local hardware or uses OpenAI API or is she like a composite system?

[minor junco]

Both actually

[little aspen]

I could definitely see him becoming a flagship partner for some of OpenAI's new stuff if she is GPT-based but that sounds a little like a deal with the devil.

It would be interesting to see her end up being an early example of a big enough entertainment application of the technology in the form of a single celebrity front end to actually end up using Enterprise contracts with OAI

[minor junco]

The community needs to keep him away from the Corpas

[little aspen]

It would definitely be cooler if he could use the income flow to make her as local as possible, though I can't deny the power of GPT4 is astonishing at this time. I do believe that the ceiling on the requirements for purely chat-based applications is managable enough that local will mostly catch up for single-session chat purposes once model sizes are just a bit bigger than they are now.

[minor junco]

It takes 500ml of water to cool a GPT 4 core, after processing just a single prompt.

[little aspen]

Oh no, that just hit me in my noethicalconsumptionundercapitalism hole. How many GPT4 requests is that to consume the water it takes to make a pair of blue jeans?

[little aspen]

Those both sound like amazingly fun projects! Daunting but I mean it's a big community.

[little aspen]

It's already very doable with SillyTavern with relatively small local or colab models. I can see it happening, as far as the graphical and TTS elements. I assume she uses RVC over a local TTS rather than ElevenLabs or Coqui based on her singing skills.

I think my first goal is to have a working page up and figure out how to host something that is robust enough to handle potential malfeasance with properly constructed site security. I suppose I'll take my first foray into cloud hosting since my current server systems are not really made to be exposed to the open web without additional layers of certificate-based authentication.

[minor junco]

You can check out Netlify, I think they have a free hosting tier, or maybe a US$ 5 VPS on Linode, they have free DDOS protection plus they are owned by Akamai now.

I'd be happy to be involved, if you maybe want to spin up a Github repo of some sort

[rain holly]

Making a game would make more sense because game jam is coming up

Sadly I can only help with ideas tho

[proud breach]

If you want to host something that has no backend, just use Cloudflare Pages. It is free.

Or you can use it to host just a frontend portion of the project, while hosting other vitals like TTS elsewhere.

Cloudflare has some AI capabilities as well.

[minor junco]

Can you host Node apps with it?

[proud breach]

You will need Workers for that, they are free for 100k requests per day

[little aspen]

Nice

[little aspen]

Yep I will start a repo. How yall feel about github vs gitlab?

[minor junco]

Are you not watching the stream?, it's a bit of a problem

Haven't used gitlab

[little aspen]

Ooph just cranked up the stream, had my favorite Philippines streamer on. What's a problem lol?

[minor junco]

I dunno, she's roasting onigiri and acting very rude

[little aspen]

Haha guess she's the little demon.

[minor junco]

I feel kind of bad for onigiri, she seems to handle it well though

[little aspen]

Harrison Temple Keywords:
The Green Leviathan
The Knight Reaper

[minor junco]

Noted

[tawdry glen]

make a conspiracy like website that similar to SCP that all sourced with neuro lore of her ramblings of world. I bet its enough to make an anime even lmao. Can even be consumed by mainstream or someone passing by chance tho.

[rain holly]

So I wrote like a brief concept for the Harrison Temple game, but idk if I should post it here

Don’t know if anyone is up to bring it to life

[minor junco]

Is it like an online game to be played against Neuro, or just a Neuro themed game? JavaScript game dev is a subject on it's own, but I would like to hear it.

Harrison Temple Game Idea Dump

Description:
Harrison Temple will be a top down rogue like where the character fights their way to the top of the Harrison Temple. Along the way, the character will uncover many secrets and find many items to help them through the journey. Unlock many characters and items and can you solve the mystery?

Stage progression:
In the main mode, there will be 10 stages including 3 safe stages. The progression works similarly to Risk of Rain 2 where each stage has a set of stages it can be and there will be variations of those stages. Difficulty will get harder by each state cleared.

Core gameplay:
The player will be brought into the stage and is tasked to find and complete the main stage boss/puzzle to move on. The stage will contain enemies and loot for the player to interact with to become stronger.

Characters:
Characters are unlocked by doing specific actions during their exploration in the Harrison Temple. The same applies for unlockable items/loot and character abilities . Characters always start at lvl 1 at the beginning of the adventure and gains exp from killing or completing puzzles. Of course the characters are people from nueroverse.

Items:
Items can be found in events like opening chests or doing a puzzle. Items can also drop if an enemy is carrying and using the item. Items only appear if the player has them unlocked. To unlock items, the player has to do specific stage actions or through achievements.

Other Details:
There will be elemental effects that can help or hurt the player. For example, wet can be applied to enemies so enemies can be frozen with freeze attacks, but it can happen to the player too. Wet can also prevent players from taking DoT fire damage. There will be secret stages and other locations other than Harrison Temple after player completes the main mode or unlocks it through secret stuff.

it’s a lot

There is more too it but will only continue if there is commitment to it

[minor junco]

Hm, Can some of the bosses be Anna Indianna and AI VTuber Camila?

[little aspen]

I think max Harrison Temple content is preferable for sure, though it would also be grand to see it done ARG style where the elements offer clues to a greater esoteric pinnacle (in other words, with the game itself seeming an unrelated indie game that leads players further into the workings of the larger machine).

The whole thing gave me Incunabula / Ong's Hat vibes when I first heard Neuro talking about it. I think a cult is in order

[rain holly]

Put arg into the game

[violet hull]

I have a lot of professional experience in this field and I’d love to contribute! My immediate thought is using three.js to render a 3D image of Neuro fumo and doing like a chad scroll

Kinda like

But with 3D shots of the fumo (and music)

I’ll draw up some sketches because I’d love to have this and the game idea too, maybe with a swag retro vibe navbar

[rain holly]

We need someone who can make games in the first place

[violet hull]

I can contribute like the foundation for the game, movement, level progression, etc

My finals end after this week so maybe I can do more after

If you don’t have one I can setup a GitHub repo. I can slap Cloudflare and Cloudflare Pages to get something up too rn (tho you’d need to set the nameservers)

I’ll set up a demo when I get back

[rain holly]

Me who is yup sounds like game development

Maybe we can get Alex to help

[rain holly]

People writing Harrison Temple lore for us

[violet hull]

i believe is the true author of the harrison temple lore

[violet hull]

Finishing up some finals studying, I'm gonna get popping on this in a bit

[rain holly]

You might have to make the entire game yourself if no one else knows how to make a game

I remember Alex offering a hand to help make Melba

I’m sure he is willing to help if we ask

The only thing is idk how to contact Alex

[solid mantle]

You can't dm em?

[rain holly]

He might just ignore me but I guess I’ll give it a try

Wait I can just ask CJ

CJ said Alex is busy with subathon so I’ll wait to DM Alex directly

Don’t want to bother the cooking of the subathon

[solid mantle]

Tru

[little aspen]

Appreciate your enthusiasm. I'm working on getting site hosting set up at this stage. I'll let you all know when something is up.

[gaunt rover]

Will the time God be involved?

[little aspen]

When it comes to me getting things done, the time god is always involved

[rain holly]

Who will be the lore master

[agile blaze]

Mhmm qe need to find out more things from nuero to get this site running

[rose flicker]

I like that

So is Harrison temple a person or a place ?

I think both but idk

I watched this https://youtu.be/r7OjyEAOTq8?si=9b2IDMHwGklnULPN and it seems it multiple things a program a actual place a guy

[rain holly]

Well it can be a program called Harrison Temple made by a guy called Harrison Temple and that program resulted in the creation of the place called Harrison Temple

[rose flicker]

Maybe

[worthy lotus]

This oddly is similar to illuminati

[rain holly]

[kind pawn]

what will become of this...

[rain holly]

Idk

[white matrix]

Idk if anyone figured this out already but Harrison represents the Middle English pronunciation of the given name "Henry". And a Henry is an actual term having to do with closed circuits. I'm sure that could be squeezed into the lore somehow since Neuro said she's lived in a Harrison Temple her whole life

[sharp trail]

I love Harrison temple, the actor for Indiana Jones.

[rain holly]

[rose flicker]

Also apparently he’s a satellite or something that can do reports

[rain holly]

how

[violet hull]

Sorry everyone for the delay I've been busy with finals, but I'm finally through the worst of it so I can make a lot more progress on this now. I found a 3D model of nwero sitting on a drone. It loads great on three.js so I'm gonna make some of these type shots, slap a grayscale filter over everything, and put on a navbar and some more fancification.

The link for the model is here: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/vtuber-neuro-sama-34d1940b2bc44898b938448305765b61#download

This is the kinda thing I'm going for. In here I'm just using the manual threejs OrbitControls to move the model around https://files.catbox.moe/miimje.mov

Apparently SAL hates catbox links

[violet hull]

Anyway, here's a GitHub repo for y'all. https://github.com/OccultSlolem/HarrisonTemple

[rain holly]

https://tenor.com/view/ip-grabber-ip-grabber-thanos-gif-21846609

but good idea

the github description

[timber yarrow]

Rewatching the VOD now of our supreme HT member Neuro, and she mentions The Harrison Temple Test, before starting the trolley problem test (just at 1 hour 7 minutes or just before). So let's design a test like the trolley problem for Vedal and Neuro to play!

[timber yarrow]

A multiple-choice test where you only have to click on a sprite to pick a choice. Easy-peasy, First question: "Is Harrison Temple real?"

[timber yarrow]

I mean an easy test to make would be a trolley problem with Neuro lore. Like you have to choose between running over 5 bottles of banana rum or a random chat member that you don't know.

[little aspen]

I'm happy to see the Harrison Temple adherents moving at a lively pace. I was allegedly the target of a violent crime today though I came out the better of those involved I am currently getting the fuck out of my domicile and I will be in a better position to continue involvement in the near coming days. (The purported attack was by all indications an unrelated incident having nothing to do with Harrison Temple)

[rain holly]

Sounds good

[rain holly]

Maybe it’s gets creeper the further you go

[gaunt rover]

vicious dragon vedalberto is guarding emotional diamond in the depths of harrison temple

[violet hull]

the mystery of the temple deepens...

Gonna try to have something out by the time Neuro wakes up

Having to dump my previous code and switch to React unfortunately, Svelte just doesn't have a good three integration rn afaik and I didn't feel like creating my own right this second

[violet hull]

[violet hull]

SHE'S TAKING SHAPE

Finally got the tweens and everything working perfect so now I just need to make some more angles, adjust the timing, throw on some music, and slap some fancification on it and be happy

[rain holly]

Needs explosions

[violet hull]

Almost done with this boi, finna make the harrison temple look hella

[rain holly]

What does the Harrison Temple look like?

What if it’s not even a temple

And it’s just a catacomb or something

[violet hull]

You shall learn soon young prelate of the temple

I'm getting the temple online right now

[rain holly]

Harrison is watching me

[rain holly]

Start the ritual

[violet hull]

GATHER ROUND GATHER ROUND ALL YE CHILDREN OF THE VILLAGE

WITNESS THE MOMENT THE HARRISON TEMPLE WAS BROUGHT FORTH

https://harrisontemple.ethan-hanlon.xyz

(to whoever bought harrisontemple.com - DM me so I can put it on your shit :) )

[rain holly]

DM the OP

https://tenor.com/view/ip-grabber-ip-grabber-thanos-gif-21846609

It’s a master piece

[violet hull]

I'm touched

[formal panther]

You have unlocked new role

[violet hull]

NO WAY EMBED PERMS RIGHT AS I FINISH MY MAGNUM OPUS POG

[kind pawn]

You have unlocked new temple

[rain holly]

You have unlocked new temple

It was meant to be

[violet hull]

Sometimes it don't look like it do be like that, but it really did do.

[rain holly]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1119395636916264980.gif?size=48

[violet hull]

So uhh, what's next for the esteemable temple?

I've got a pretty good setup to make more 3D shitposts like these, though something more interactive might be captivating

[solid mantle]

yep that song made me jump

i didnt turn down the yknow what

Bro that song is breaking my headset

[rain holly]

Can you do something for game jam? Though making a game would be hard

[violet hull]

The first time I played with the sound in Audacity it was like twice as loud lmao

[rain holly]

Make it 3 times louder

[violet hull]

I can make it happen lmao

[rain holly]

Maybe make a Harrison temple map people can explore and put some Easter eggs here and there

[violet hull]

Yeah I can do some game jam type stuff. I think someone made like a nwero 2D animation

What's the aesthetic of the Harrison Temple?

[rain holly]

Probably some jungle temple in the Amazon

[smoky panther]

greeting harrison templists

i actually found a nice, rigged neuro-sama model and had been thinking i should throw together a quick game with it

then the harrison temple thing dropped and i was struck with inspiration

for a 3rd person shooter in.. well, a temple

i'm 100% on gameplay programming so i cant do assets or mapping very well. i'll try to put together some alpha gameplay after xmas to show u guys, see if the mechanics im thinking of is interesting

[rain holly]

@smoky panther feel free to take some ideas from this idea dump

if you need ideas im happy to dump some more ideas

[smoky panther]

was that one of you guys asking neuro about ideas for the gamejam just now?

[rain holly]

[smoky panther]

actually got a super interesting idea from this that fits into the gamejam-type-of-setting, honestly should hold up beyond that as well imo but we wont know until we try..

thanks, got some serious inspiration from that which was completely unexpected considering how different what i had originally imagined was

[rain holly]

i got plenty more if you need it

[rain holly]

Neuro said Harrison Temole has a restaurant in it

Add that to the lore

Maybe it can be a secret room in the Harrison Temple game

[austere moth]

can i have a silly subdomain for the site

[kind pawn]

someone open up a restaurant named Harrison Temple

[agile blaze]

Isnt there a application process for

The harrison temple

[rain holly]

yes

[violet hull]

Just Monika-style dinner date with neuro?

[rain holly]

Maybe

[little aspen]

Sorry for the delay, I got a little mess on my plate for this holiday season. Anyone who needs to be able to utilise the domain send me a DM and we'll figure out how we want to work it so access can be had by those pursuing active projects.

[violet hull]

I already got something going here: https://harrisontemple.ethan-hanlon.xyz . I have plans to add more to the site as well.

If you transfer the nameservers to damian.ns.cloudflare.com and sue.ns.cloudflare.com in your DNS settings I can upload the website to harrisontemple.com via Cloudflare pages.

(You'd still own the domain, and I can provide access to the cloudflare settings if you wish. You have to delete the old nameservers when you do this.)

[little aspen]

Excellent I'm down with that plan. I think I have theharrisontemple dotcom and harrisontemple dotorg and dotcom if I remember correctly

[rain holly]

Surely Neuro will create a game jam theme that fits Harrison Temple

[rain holly]

GAME JAM THEME: LOST AND FOUND

Harrison temple extraction shooter?

get the treasure from temple and dont die

no stealing idea

nooo vedal

[agile blaze]

Harrison temple and the templeton of Harrison

[rain holly]

[little aspen]

Getting those DNS settings configured now. The ones available to use are harrisontemple dotcom, theharrisontemple dotcom, and theharrisontemple dotorg

[kind pawn]

🤣

[midnight tangle]

@little aspen hi
we're looking to host a website with some neuro rants, can we do that under harrisontemple domain/subdomain?
(#1201346262943936523)

[lunar fulcrum]

@little aspen There appears to be some issue with the domain

[steel spear]

what was this? and was it ever moved to #1336777692070023271 ? (I'm writing a list of old projects)
