AI Agents & NPCs

Game development is an intricate process to create an experience that blends complexity with intuitiveness, striking a balance that captivates both beginner and skilled players alike. With new innovations around Artificial Intelligence (AI), we are entering a new phase of game development that will include features such as AI Agents.

Across the NPC (non-playable character) landscape, there is a spectrum of complexity from simple "bots" to complex and sophisticated "agents" that support gameplay. An AI Agent refers to a more advanced, generative AI-powered character that can engage in dynamic, contextual conversations, and even show awareness of its surroundings. These agents can forge relationships with players and add depth and different dynamics to gameplay.
