Software Developer Needed for Cube World Alpha Project

I am looking for a software developer to help create the software for a Cube World Alpha-inspired handheld device. The goal is to create a living digital ecosystem inside a cube where small characters exist, learn, grow, and develop over time. Unlike a traditional game, these characters should have persistent lives. They should gain experience through their activities, develop unique personalities, learn new behaviors, form relationships, and remember important events from their lives. As the characters grow, the cube itself should evolve. New rooms, environments, activities, and features should become available, making each cube feel like a living world that changes over time. One of the most important features is cube-to-cube interaction. When cubes are connected together, characters should be able to recognize each other, communicate, visit neighboring cubes, make friends, share experiences, and participate in activities together. Characters should be able to bring things back from their travels, including memories, gifts, knowledge, skills, stories, and new behaviors learned from other characters. These experiences should influence their future development and make each character unique. The long-term goal is to create a digital ecosystem where no two cubes become exactly the same. The history, relationships, experiences, and decisions of the characters should shape how each cube evolves over time. This project will run on an ESP32-S3-based device and should support persistent save data, character progression, memory systems, wireless communication between cubes, and a simple but engaging user interface. This is an initial prototype project. I am looking for a developer who is interested in helping build the foundation of a living virtual world rather than a traditional game. Please provide examples of relevant projects involving embedded software, simulations, virtual pets, AI companions, autonomous characters, or interactive digital ecosystems.
