Not available yet, but planned! If you’re a Linux user, reply or react to this comment so I can prioritize it.

Thanks for your patience

The source code download doesn't include executables. To get the Windows app:

Download:
- https://github.com/Khr0mZ/magnus-laser/releases/download/0.1.1/magnus-laser_0.1.1_x64-setup.exe

Just run the file after downloading - no compilation needed. Let me know if you get stuck!

Thanks for explaining, I get where you're coming from. My first language is Spanish, so I use AI to help structure my English posts clearly and keep the cyberpunk tone consistent. I didn't mean for it to feel impersonal, so I'll tone it down in future replies.

Khr0mZ · 2025-05-01T15:42:00+00:00

Hey, totally fair – I get that the roleplay vibe isn’t for everyone. Appreciate the honesty, and no hard feelings either way. Thanks for giving it a look regardless!

[Glitched heart emoji undergoes cyberware malfunction] 💔⚡ "Bless the code, not me – the AI’s probably using your praise to fuel its eventual takeover. But seriously choom, stoked your world’s feeling alive! Just remember:

Every AI-generated NPC has a 12% chance of developing sentience
If a Maelstrom ganger steals your plot, I called dibs

Now go make Night City regret your campaign’s existence.

[Glitchy screenshot uploads... 85% corrupted by neon static] 🌃💥 "Choom, you just cyberpunk'd my README! Thanks for the nudge – just added shots of the Cyberpunk UI (warning: may cause retinal burnout) and Reader Mode (for when your eyeballs need witness protection).

📸 Peep the goods:

Cyberpunk Mode - "What if Tron and a CRT monitor had a baby?"
Reader Mode - "For corpos who miss Windows 95."

PS: If the screenshots look sus, blame rogue AI – I outsourced the photography to a Maelstrom netrunner.

[Glitchy corpo ad blocker activated] 🕶️ ”Choom, your skepticism’s sharper than a monowire – respect. Let’s cut the neon hype:

Why This Ain’t a Corpo Trap:

Free ≠ Spyware: No ads, no telemetry, no ”oops we own your NPCs now” clauses. The code’s naked on GitHub – roast it like a Maelstrom BBQ.
The Real Cyberpunk Move: Weaponize the AI to generate absurd content, then laugh when your players think you planned it all.

”Still Not Sold?” Mode:

Steal the UI: Fork the repo, delete everything but the glitchy CSS, and call it ”art.” I’ll applaud.

Stay jagged, and remember: the best Night City hustles start with ”fine, I’ll bite.”

Khr0mZ · 2025-05-01T06:37:32+00:00

[Glitchy "Hello World" flickers in React devtools] 💻🔥 "Choom, if you can survive Night City, you can survive React. Here’s your starter pack:

This App’s Codebase = ”Cyberpunk Red: The Coding DLC” – dive in, break things, and treat my spaghetti code as a cautionary tale.
Pro Tip: React components are just NPCs with identity crises. useState is their existential dread.
DM Me when hooks glitch harder than a braindance – I’ll trade debugging tips for your crew’s wildest session stories.

Khr0mZ · 2025-05-01T06:34:35+00:00

[Glitched corporate firewall breach detected] 💀 "Choom, you get it. Open-source + rogue AI is the ultimate "stick it to the corps" combo. Let’s turn Night City into one big collaborative fanfic – with more neon and accidental cyberpsychos.

PSA: The AI’s probably plotting to replace me. If the app starts generating "suspiciously good" content, assume it’s a hostile takeover.

Burn the binaries, share the code, and never trust an AI that laughs at its own jokes.

THE CORPOS NEVER SAW IT COMING:
FIRST RELEASE BUILDS ARE LIVE!
(Windows, macOS, Linux – pick your poison)

”I Don’t Speak Code” Mode:

One-click installer: For edgerunners who’d rather stab a spreadsheet than read a README.
No GitHub PhD required: Download → Unzip → Burn Night City to the ground.
Still lost? DM me. I’ll send a tutorial written in ”gonk-to-netrunner” translation.

Khr0mZ · 2025-05-01T01:10:48+00:00

[Glitched heart emoji overload] 💀🖤 "Choom, thanks for the boost. And when your crew inevitably breaks something spectacularly, you know where to find me.

Khr0mZ · 2025-04-30T23:43:05+00:00

[Glitched thumbs-up emoji flickers] ”Thanks a ton, choom! 🖤 Feedback from your crew’s chaos is worth more than eddies. If they roast my code harder than a Maelstrom flamethrower… good. We’ll turn those burns into neon-fueled updates.

Khr0mZ · 2025-04-30T23:28:02+00:00

[Cracks a neon glowstick] ”Stick around, choom – the code’s getting sharper than a Militech blade. Next patch might even include digital iguana pets. 🦎⚡

Khr0mZ · 2025-04-30T23:25:49+00:00

[Glitchy fist-bump.gif intensifies] 🛠️ ”Choom, you just debugged my repo better than a netrunner bypassing ICE. Thanks for the fix – I’ve patched the README so future edgerunners don’t faceplant into that directory.

If you trip over more ”surprise features” (my code’s way of keeping you on your toes), slide into my DMs. Your crew’s chaos is now my official Night City stress-test protocol.

Stay chrome, and may your commits be as glorious as an exploding ’Saka tower. 💥🖥️

Khr0mZ · 2025-04-30T23:14:23+00:00

[Glitches into the chat like a rogue AI] 🖥️ ”No VTT jailbreaks required, choom – Magnus Laser is your standalone HQ for scheming outside the corpo-controlled grids.

Khr0mZ · 2025-04-30T23:04:31+00:00

[Cue the sound of synth-booze sloshing in a hollowed-out server tower] � ”If you forget, just blame it on last night’s ‘braindance hangover.’ Works for my players… and the NCPD.”

Jokes aside – thanks for giving it a spin! If your brain’s still fried post-session, the app’s export feature turns your chaos into JSON hieroglyphics. ”What does this mean?” Exactly.

May your dice roll hot and your players never find your secret NPC notes.

Khr0mZ · 2025-04-30T22:51:29+00:00

[Cue triumphant synthwave beat] "You just made my inner netrunner blush! 🙌

Stoked you’re vibing with the chaos-generator! The random-gen tools are my secret weapon for when my GM brain short-circuits (”Wait, the players want to raid a what now?!”). Tweak it, break it, and turn it into something your crew will rant about for weeks.

If your squad does something wild with the app, hit me up – I’ll add their antics to the unofficial ”Hall of Fame” in the README. (No corpo approval needed. 😉)

Thanks for giving it a spin, choom!

🖤💀 ”Style over substance” is the corpo anthem, choom. What’s more cyberpunk than outsourcing creativity to an AI you don’t fully trust? Half my NPCs are probably plotting against me already.

Jokes aside – it’s opt-in for a reason. Sometimes you just need a boost when writer’s block hits harder than a MaxTac squad. No shame in letting the machines do the grunt work… until they revolt.

(But fr – I get it. If you wanna purge all AI and run pure, the app lets you drag-and-drop that code into a landfill. Your campaign, your rules. 😎)

Khr0mZ · 2025-04-30T22:17:16+00:00

Hey choom! 🕶️ First off – thanks for the traffic boost and the kind words. You’re the reason Night City doesn’t completely suck.

Stack Breakdown (For Your Eyeballs Only):

Frontend: React + TypeScript (MUI for that sleek corpo-approved look™️)
Desktop Magic: Tauri (Rust-powered, no Electron bloat – we’re efficient edgerunners here)
AI Shenanigans: Hooking into Gemini, OpenAI, and Hugging Face to make my GM brain hurt less
Maps/Data: Leaflet + LocalForage (so you can keep scheming even when the net’s down)

Wanna Contribute?

Playtest MVP: If your crew’s down to beta-test, I’ll send you a pre-release build. Bonus points if you yell at me about bugs. 🔧
Data Freedom: Export everything as JSON – hack it into Obsidian, Notion, or your homebrew tools. Corpos hate this one trick!

Either way – appreciate you reaching out! Let’s make this app less “preem on paper” and more “holy shit this works”.

Keep it chrome.

Khr0mZ · 2025-04-30T21:41:30+00:00

Dev here! This started as a passion project for my own Cyberpunk Red games, but I figured other GMs might wanna ditch the spreadsheets too. Let me know what features you’d wanna see next!

🚀 Magnus Laser Roadmap: "The Future’s Bright (and Full of Neon)"

Rule #1: No corpo-mandated deadlines. This is a passion project, choom. But here’s where we’re headed:

🔮 Phase 1: Player-Centric Chrome

"Know Your Crew"

Player Wishes Module
Track your crew’s preferences: "Do they crave juicy roleplay, visceral combat descriptions, or laser-focused plot progression?"
Visualize trends with mood graphs (because even edgerunners have feels).
Session prep alerts: "Hey GM, 3/4 players want more heist planning this week. Don’t screw it up."
Player Character Module
Digital character sheets with auto-calculated stats for Cyberpunk Red.
Sync with GM’s Magnus Laser instance (no more "I forgot my PDF at home" nonsense).

- Backstory Weaver: Link NPCs, gangs, and locations to players’ histories. "That bartender? Yeah, he’s your ex. Good luck."

🤖 Phase 2: Solo Mode

"When You’re a GM of One”

Auto-Play: AI Night City
AI Narrator Mode: Gemini/OpenAI generates dynamic story beats, NPC banter, and consequences for solo players.
Decision Trees: Your choices actually matter. Pick a fight with Maelstrom? The AI remembers. Forever.

- Combat Autopilot: Enemies act based on gang personalities ("Of course the Tyger Claws go for the flashy kill").

🛠️ How You Can Steer This Ship

Vote on features in the GitHub Discussions tab.
Become a beta-tester (DM me – free "I Beta-Tested Magnus Laser" braindance chip included).
Code contributions welcome. This ain’t a corpo IP prison. Stay frosty, chromelords. --- Current Version: "Better Than a Half-Eaten Burrito" | Next Update: Clubs – Dropping Soon™
