Have you always wished that NPC in your favorite game would be more intelligent, be able to make conversation apart from those few scripted lines that they always repeat over and over again, or not be limited in how much you can interact with the game? Well, these AI platforms are making every gamer's wish come closer to becoming a reality every day.
Here are 3 AI tools that are definitely the future of AI gaming.
1. Charisma.ai
Charisma uses Artificial intelligence to
create intelligent characters with decision-making capabilities. This makes it
possible for human characters to be able to hold dialogues with non-playable characters
(NPCs), thus making the games more engaging. Also, game outcomes may vary depending on the choices one makes, creating unique experiences for each player. Games developed using Charisma AI are very dynamic, unlike most games where the plot or the map you need to follow has already been
set.
For now, only a few games are using Charisma
in their interface, but we should expect the use of AI for game development to
grow in the coming future. These are some of the few games that use
Charisma.
i. The Last Survey, which is a web-based game,
meaning you can play it on your browser.
ii. The Pulse, which is available for iOS and Android
devices.
iii. How to Date a Magical Girl, available for PC and
mobile devices.
2. Latitude.io
Latitude is used to create interactive virtual worlds that players can explore and have Artificial Intelligence-driven experiences. Currently, there is not much information on Latitude, but the few released games that use Latitude AI, are very interesting, and we get to experience what is only the beginning of something big. This platform is dedicated to creating environments where players have the freedom to explore and engage immersively.
These two games are just a few of the
releases that use Latitude AI;
i.
VOYAGE, which is a web-based gamed and can only be played
in a web browser.
ii.
AI DUNGEON, available for iOS and Android devices
3. Spellbrush
Spellbrush is used to generate AI-based
illustrations, concept art, and animation automation for game characters and environments.
Spellbrush can be used to automate sketches 10 times faster than when done
manually. Spellbrush uses an AI tool called Generative AI, where the AI is
capable of generating new original content with little human effort, and most
work is done by AI, making the development process easier and faster.
Here are some of the animation and games
platform that is already utilizing Spellbrush;
i.
Arrowmancer, available for iOS and android
phones.
ii.
Waifu Labs Confetti, used to draw custom anime
portraits.
iii. Niji Journey, used to create anime-based illustrations.
Conclusion
With such AI tools being used in the gaming industry, the
future of gaming looks very promising. AI games would be more interactive and
realistic, which is the core goal of modern gaming, creating as much realistic
games as possible. Just imagine having normal conversations with NPCs and
interacting with them just as you would interact with normal human beings, just
incredible. And very soon, this is going to be possible, with the rate at which
Artificial Intelligence is evolving.
