It’s Good:
Our latest product announcement is our SmartNPC, a game-based agent based on the concept discussed in the movie “Free Guy.” The difference is that, unlike in the movie which used a massive supercomputer to make the game a reality, we are making this work on standard PCs without GPUs. We use special training techniques to customize our NPC’s knowledge base for your specific game world, so that player-NPC conversations are both broad in terms of possible, meaningful topics, and deep in that NPC will not only say a few words on a topic, but also can even take action to find books or other sources for the player or conversely, take affront or even tell lies if the player’s intentions don’t match those of the NPC.
It’s Better:
Wow! NPCs don’t just talk, but their behaviour includes gestures, suddenly standing, sitting, pacing, attacks, or moving to another location are all included based on the personality of the NPC and the motivations triggered by the exchange. This makes the AI Agent more of a Hollywood screenwriter than just a text generator. These added actions can be ignored by the game or can be incorporated into game motion or game art.
What’s Next:
Our groundbreaking AI agent is currently in early development, but it’s poised to revolutionize NPC design with unmatched artistic depth and individuality. Introducing VividNPC—a next-generation system that infuses each character with a unique personality, even in expansive game worlds. By leveraging a comprehensive database of meticulously crafted lore and character archetypes, every NPC is brought to life with a rich backstory, distinct education level, personal tastes in food and art, subtle idle animations, quirks, political and social perspectives, and a tailored sense of humor. These intricate details work together to enhance character recognition, intensify player immersion, and create more compelling in-game narratives. This innovation transforms games into unforgettable experiences, amplifying the “Wow” factor in everything from Visual Novels to RPGs and Simulation Games. With VividNPC, players will be eager to dive deeper, share their excitement, and leave glowing 5-star reviews!
How Does My Game Get This?
Both of these products will exists as Plugins. These will include encapsulated products and data files along with the plugin code.
