Inner Artist · two patents pending · only here and on AktionFilm

The first method to copyright your character.

The rule
Art made by AI alone cannot be copyrighted in the United States. In March 2026 the Supreme Court let that stand.
The way through
The Copyright Office registers what a person authored. Inner Artist makes the character your authorship, from the first word to the last line, and keeps the dated proof.
  1. 01 Write them

    Who they are and everything about how they look, in your own words.

  2. 02 Lock it

    Your description is sealed on the ledger with a date, before a single line is drawn.

  3. 03 Draw them

    A lesson teaches you to draw that character one part at a time. Every line is yours.

  4. 04 File it

    You get the registration kit: the clean line sheets, the written description and the filing steps for the Copyright Office.

Bring out the Inner Artist

The Copyright Office makes the decision. You arrive with the proof.

Your work · your rights

You made it. You keep it.

  • We do not take rights.
  • We do not train on your work.
  • We will not use your character without your permission.

Here is the whole of it, in plain words. The Quantum Drift world and its canon are ours. Your character, and what you make with them, are yours.

You can tell your stories inside our storyline, as long as they keep its continuity. Becoming canon is a different thing: it is earned, and only stand-out characters are chosen for the official story.

Role-playing missions

Play the mission. Then film it.

Missions are made to become short films. You role-play it as your character, the game prints what happened, and that printout is your script. Make the scene as a short film or a comic strip, post it, and you score.

  1. 01

    Take a mission

    Intel, Intimidation, Hacking, Charm, Defamation, Retribution, Heist, or an order from your leader.

  2. 02

    Play it out

    Say what your character does. Dice decide it. Draw an Arcana card for extra chance.

  3. 03

    Get the printout

    Everything that happened, round by round. That is your script.

  4. 04

    Make the film or the comic

    Tell it the way the printout says it went.

  5. 05

    Post it

    On your socials with #QuantumDrift, then here. The points land.

The leaderboard

Every mission scores.

Points land when your film or comic is posted, for you and for your side. Story missions are 100 / 200 / 300 credits, and free if you hold the board ($5 a month).

The 3D game · playable now

The city is built. Go play in it.

A scaled Manhattan you can walk, fly and drive. Heists, warehouse raids and hacking raids. Jetpack stunts and car racing. These parts are playable today, and they are the first pieces of a full online role-playing game set inside the same story. Next into the city: a mech prize fight in Battery Park.

An in-world recruitment notice

North Star Group

Now recruiting: attack-avatar controllers

The next generation of defense needs a human at the controls.

  • Build your cyborg. It is yours. Every raid it survives levels it up.
  • Raid for intel. Warehouses and mainframes give up hints about the convoys moving GPUs across the city.
  • Hit the convoy. Intercept the shipment and you are in the heist.
  • Reach level 10. Keep raiding, or switch to the defense and stop the attack.

You bring the instincts. We supply the hardware.
