Converging Algorithms follows the story of a few central characters, all robots, after they become sentient; what this means for each of them, how their environment affects their development and how they all meet.

F.A.Q.
Has anyone actually asked any of these questions? Some of them, yes!
What sort of media project is this? I'm only one person with only so much time so I'm keeping my options open. Illustrated written content is currently the most appealing but I'd like to make comics too. Maybe a visual novel type game.
How long have you been working on this? 2016 or so when Dana was created! Many things in the story are Dana's fault to be honest - including the creation of the project itself. I wanted to expand on their life and how they were and that meant I had to give them friends and enemies. Many years later, here we are.
How much has the story changed since its conception? Dana's original concept was "lone-wolf genderless scavenger robot who fixes themself with duct tape and likes fire a bit too much for comfort" and that was the whole story. It's changed a lot.
Are there humans in the story? Yes! There are humans in Aureus (and in the universe) though they don't really get a lot of "screen time".
Are there (bodyless) AI in the story? Yes. Some characters also used to be disembodied! You'll see.
Are the robots gay or? Yes, in broad terms, the robots are gay.
What is currently available to the public? Most if not all the content in cnv_alg's blog archive and here, while subject to change, is the most up-to-date content available to the public.
Is the world/universe open to the public? No, this project is personal to me and that means it's a closed world/universe.
