Bunnyland Bardsim

Out-of-tree Bunnyland plugin: an expansion-pack-sized music & performance pack. Characters pick up instruments, play songs they know, fill the room with an audible tune, lift (or sink) the mood of everyone listening, and — when there is an audience — earn tips.

v2 adds the venues, gigs & reputation headline: open a room as a named venue, play a gig there to build a shared reputation (renown), form ensembles (a typed BandmateOf edge so a band draws more renown than a lone busker), and compose original songs you own (a typed Composed edge) and can perform at once.

Everything reuses the stock server's own subsystems: performances become noise the core hearing pipeline delivers, mood changes flow through AffectComponent, tips scale with each listener's SocialBond, the become-renowned ambition rides the core persona/goals GoalComponent, a famous act registers a core storyteller incident, and worldgen tagging happens through the standard generation-event hooks. Synergy partners (festival, museum, storyteller) are recommended, never required — bardsim runs standalone.

This repo intentionally keeps all bard work outside the main bunnyland-server repo.

Layout

• server/ - Python Bunnyland plugin package with the instrument/repertoire/tip components, the perform and learn-song verbs, the performance consequence (mood + busking), prompt fragments, a worldgen enrichment hook, spawn factories, and tests.

Server Plugin

The plugin exposes bunnyland_bardsim.bunnyland_plugins() and contributes:

• InstrumentComponent - portable, holdable instruments (lute, fiddle, drum…).
• RepertoireComponent - the songs a character knows and can perform.
• TipJarComponent - a simple coin counter buskers accrue tips into.
• PerformanceNoiseComponent - marks the short-lived noise entity a performance spawns.
• PerformanceConsequence - once per performance, shifts the mood of everyone listening in the room and pays the performer tips scaled by audience size and social bond.
• bardsim_fragments - renders what is currently playing in the room, nearby instruments, and (first person) your own repertoire.
• BardWorldgenHook - tags generated musicians with a repertoire and generated instruments with InstrumentComponent, and gives a generated musician the become-renowned goal.
• spawn_lute, spawn_fiddle, spawn_drum, spawn_musician - spawn factories.

v2 surfaces

• VenueComponent - marks a room as a performance venue with a name and prestige tier (1-5).
• GigComponent / GigConsequence - a gig seeds a scored performance; the consequence grants renown (scaled by venue prestige, crowd size, and ensemble), publishes a ContestEntry, and registers a storyteller incident when a performer becomes famous — each gig scored once.
• CompositionComponent / Composed (edge) - an original song, owned by its author.
• BandmateOf (edge) - a symmetric band-membership tie between two musicians.
• Reputation - the shared performing-standing connector surface (renown → unknown…renowned).
• ContestEntryComponent - a published gig entry a festival pack can host as a competition.
• reputation_fragments / venue_fragments / ensemble_fragments / composition_fragments.

Verbs

• perform - play a known song on a held instrument, filling the room with an audible tune.
• learn-song - add a song to your repertoire.
• open-venue - turn the room you are in into a named performance venue (prestige 1-5).
• perform-gig - play a known song at a venue to build your reputation.
• form-ensemble - band together with another musician under a shared ensemble name.
• compose-song - write an original song, learn it, and add it to your body of work.

Running

This package builds no containers. It is loaded into the stock server via --module:

bunnyland serve --module bunnyland_bardsim

default_enabled=True, so no --plugin flag is required once the module is imported. The bunnyland_bardsim package must be importable by the server (installed into the server's environment, or on PYTHONPATH).

Development

Run server tests against a sibling bunnyland-server checkout (no install required — server/tests/conftest.py puts both packages on sys.path). From server/:

uv run --project ../../bunnyland-server -m pytest
uv run --project ../../bunnyland-server ruff check src tests

See server/README.md for more detail.
