🤖AI NPCs
In the game PARADISE, we introduce a groundbreaking approach to creating artificial intelligence (AI) in video games, focusing on AI city inhabitants who interact with players as if they were real people. This technology is implemented in collaboration with developers from Replica and NVIDIA AI's division, showcasing cutting-edge solutions in AI and graphics.
Interaction with AI NPCs
Voice Interaction:
In PARADISE, players can approach any NPC on the map and initiate a dialogue using voice communication, enhancing realism and allowing players to naturally integrate into the game world.
Each NPC features a unique voice acting, ensuring a variety of interactions. Different voices and accents help create memorable characters, each with their own backstory and personality.
Thanks to our collaboration with OpenAI, the AI inhabitants have naturally sounding voices generated using advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) that support multiple languages. This allows players to interact with NPCs in different languages, enhancing the immersive gameplay experience.
Diversity of Quests and Missions:
AI NPCs are integral to the completion of quests and missions in the game. They can issue tasks, offer assistance, or even hinder goals depending on their roles and purpose in the game's storyline.
Interactions with NPCs can influence the development of the plot and unlock new opportunities or alternative ways to complete missions, creating a complex and dynamic system where each player's decision can lead to different outcomes.
Individual Characteristics of Each NPC:
Each NPC in PARADISE has their own unique story, making them not just background characters, but fully-fledged participants in the game world.
Personalization: Each NPC has their own name, age, profession, hobbies, and life story. This information is used to create deep, multifaceted characters that each bring a unique atmosphere to the game.
Interactions and Storylines: Information about characters is used to shape their behavior and interactions with players. For example, an NPC doctor might offer medical assistance or a health-related quest, while an NPC artist might involve the player in art-related quests.
Dynamic Development: The history and characteristics of each NPC can change based on their interactions with players and other NPCs, making each game session unpredictable and unique.
Key Features of Interaction with AI NPCs:
Dynamic Dialogues: In PARADISE, dialogues with NPCs are generated in real-time, taking into account the current context and past interactions with the player. This means each approach to an NPC can lead to a new conversation where the character might exhibit different emotional states and respond differently to the same questions.
Variable NPC Moods: The moods and reactions of NPCs are not fixed; they can change depending on the time of day, recent events in the game, or even the weather in the game world. For example, an NPC might be more cheerful in good weather or show irritation during rain.
Personalized Interaction: The AI NPC system takes into account the history of interactions with each individual player, allowing for the formation of unique relationships and dialogues. If a player has previously been friendly, an NPC may respond more openly and trustingly.
Practical Application in the Game:
This functionality makes each experience in PARADISE unique, as players can return to the same NPCs repeatedly and find something new in their behavior and responses each time. This significantly enhances the game's replayability, providing players with endless opportunities for exploration and interaction in an evolving world.
