An RPG of the Mind - We're beyond excited to share this first teaser trailer for our new Generative AI-driven faux War of the Worlds game adapted from H.G. Wells' novel! This tech demo is available to play free by visiting Convai during the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2024. Boasting a number of new Generative AI (GenAI) non-player-character (NPC) features, this War of the Worlds tech demo showcases a role-playing game built on the 7 most important neurotransmitters associated with Flight, Fight, or Freeze, instead of the typical stats like, Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution. Each NPC is completely unique with their own agency and actions. NPCs not only have randomized neurotransmitter stats, but in-depth handwritten backstories with both aspirations and trauma that will effect their actions. The key to success is understanding, exploring, and convincing the NPC to save themselves - all while the city crumbles around them and unknown menace emerges. Tech at a Glance: - Over 200 active non-player characters in the immediate area by leveraging Toolchefs LTD Atoms Realtime crowds, this game easily runs 5x more crowd density than standard Unreal AI Actor, since the Convai component interfaces directly with each Atoms generated crowd NPC. - One of the first end-to-end use cases of Generative AI leveraged as a quest mechanic in a next-gen game. - Built using Epic Games Unreal Engine 5.2, Epic Games’ MetaHumans, Atoms Realtime Crowds, Epic Games’ City Sample and Mass Framework. - Version control and all build automation handled by Wevr WVS.io for our globally distributed team Social Media: https://lnkd.in/gXFTEyyE https://lnkd.in/gfYbbnqj
