30: Creature Framework

: Animations can subtly shift based on whether a character is wearing light vs. heavy armor. Virtual Integration

Abstract Creature Framework 30 (CF30) is a modular, extensible architecture designed for building, testing, and deploying autonomous virtual creatures across simulation and game environments. CF30 emphasizes component-based entity design, deterministic physics integration, behavior trees for AI, and standardized serialization for cross-platform compatibility. This paper defines CF30's core concepts, system architecture, data models, runtime lifecycle, tooling, and sample use cases. creature framework 30
