Dr. Derk's Mutant Battlegrounds is a western-themed MOBA where you train Derklings, creatures with neural network brains, to fight for you. You battle other players, earn upgrades and items for your Derklings, and work out training strategies and loadouts for your team.

Train your Derklings

To train a creature, load it up, set goals called bounties and start training. Derklings use recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with over 3,000 parameters and 32 memory slots, trained with a genetic algorithm. They can perceive over 30 things and make decisions on their own, learning a wide range of behaviors.

You can train one Derkling to heal a tankier teammate, send another dashing through opponents toward their statue, build an all-out damage team or teach your creatures to trick the opposing team. Neural network visualizations let you examine how the Derklings behave.

Upgrades and battles

Upgrades change what Derklings can do and learn. Options include a horn, a shell, huge guns and bubblegum. The global ladder lets you battle other players and earn new items.
