About Orihime
"I couldn't help but feel that it was destiny."
What is Orihime?
Orihime is a multi-role Discord Bot that started out as curiousity and experimentation. I've officially started development in 2021 but all the experimentation happened around 2018 with small features that were unrelated to eachother. In 2021 I got hired by a Youtuber that was in need of a Discord bot that they could customise to their liking, and therefore Orihime was born.
The Discord bot has multiple functionalities including but not limited to: moderation, minigames (Gambling*, Role Playing Game), some fun chat features where users could get reddit posts that fit with their request, Music Features where users can listen to music together, and also some utility related commands.
*The gambling didn't require real world currency and only used currency earned by being an active member of said community. There are no ways to exchange it to real world currency or get more in-game currency for real money.
Behind the Build
As previously mentioned, Orihime started as experimentation and used NodeJS as its base. Whilst using several Node Packages like DiscordJS, MongoDB-js, and some other packages. For more technical information, please consult my GitHub Repository. All information is being saved in MongoDB and Orihime makes plenty use of APIs for most of it chatty features to get i.e. Reddit Posts.
The Journey Forward
As of 2025, Orihime has been taken offline and is purely run locally. I'm still updating her from time to time whenever I find new interesting features or if a new challenge presents itself. Right now my focus is the Role Playing Game mode and adding features to that game mode, improving existing features, and updating obsolete features and add it back to the newest version. When everything is ready, I'll possibly make Orihime available for public use.
