AI Town Sim EmemeTown Still in Development, Developer Confirms
The confirmation ends months of silence after the April 2025 beta test and comes just weeks after the developer ended its related EmemeAI service, clarifying that the game project itself continues.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Developer Ememe confirmed on July 27 that the AI NPC life observation game EmemeTown is still in development, with the team reviewing the experience and specifications. The game was announced in December 2023, with early access originally planned for summer 2024 but postponed. A beta test ran in April 2025, followed by silence until now.
Ememe posted the update on X, apologizing for the long wait and stating that development is continuing while the team reviews the experience and specifications. The post did not mention a new release window, and the release date remains undecided.
The game, announced in December 2023, lets players create AI NPCs and observe their daily lives in a town, with schedules generated by AI and conversations produced in real time by an LLM. Players can intervene by operating characters or expressing NPCs' inner voices, and can upload VRM format 3D models to summon into the town.
The update follows the July 6 announcement that the related chat AI platform EmemeAI would end service at the end of this month. The relationship between the two events is unclear, but the developer, founded by Yuka Kojima, who previously worked at SCE and GREE and founded FOVE, continues work on EmemeTown for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
