AI Games

Sikkim are video games that use artificial intelligence to add realism, challenge and immersion. These intelligent NPCs and opponents mimic human-like behavior, using pathfinding algorithms, behavior trees, reinforcement learning and more. The result is that AI enables players to experience dynamically simulated environments, where enemies react to the player’s actions and adapt to their skill level, while providing a fun, engaging game world.

The first big success of game AI was Valve’s famous zombie shooter Left 4 Dead, which used a sophisticated AI Director system to make enemies behave more realistically. For example, enemy hordes would adapt to the player’s strategy, and gunplay felt more realistic as enemies would react to where you shot them. This was made possible by incorporating natural language processing technology like ELIZA, which allowed the AI to respond to the player’s questions in a manner that felt believable.

Using AI to Generate Game Soundscapes and Background Music

Another major advancement in AI gaming is generative game design, which allows developers to create new content at scale by algorithmically generating levels, missions and characters. This approach is a key enabler of games with infinite replayability, as well as a natural progression path and seamless integration with VR and AR technologies.

For instance, NCSoft’s upcoming MMO Justice Online uses generative AI to allow NPCs to interact with each other, creating unique storylines that evolve over time. Similarly, NCSoft recently announced an Alice in Wonderland-themed social role-playing game called Hidden Door that is powered by generative AI to give players a more immersive and personalized experience.
