New way of creating games


AI in games is controversial. Some people won't play a game that smacks of AI, especially generative AI. I don't think generative AI will replace artists - it's not all that smart, really - but for an independent with a focus on writing it just makes things possible. It's hard to says how things will go, but in the long run I think it'll expand the gaming experience for everyone.

We have the sort of "AI" in games which is just programming logic, not really AI. And now there are companies promoting "AI" NPCs in games. In "Emergence" the AI is not just an add-on, it plays an integral part in the game design. Players can access levels by getting the AI to reveal them, and even finish the game. The AI combines with content to provide the whole gaming experience.
