AI Game Dev: ProcGen, Watch Dogs Legion and No Man’s Sky
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way video games are developed. AI-driven procedural generation (ProcGen) has become an increasingly popular tool for game developers to create immersive worlds with endless possibilities. This technology allows developers to generate content on the fly, creating a unique experience for each player.
The most recent example of this technology in action is Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs Legion. The game uses AI-driven ProcGen to populate its world with NPCs that have their own personalities and backstories. Players can recruit these characters into their team and use them as part of their strategy against enemies or complete missions together. By using this technology, Ubisoft was able to create a living world full of diverse characters that feel alive and real – something that would be impossible without the help of AI-driven ProcGen tech.
No Man’s Sky is another great example of how powerful AI-driven ProcGen can be when it comes to creating vast virtual universes filled with interesting creatures, plants, planets and more. The game features over 18 quintillion procedurally generated planets which players can explore at will – no two planets are ever alike! With such a massive universe at your fingertips, you never know what kind of surprises await you around every corner – from alien races to strange new technologies waiting for you to discover them!
Another benefit of using AI-driven Procedural Generation in video games is that it helps reduce development costs by eliminating the need for manual labor intensive tasks like designing levels or populating worlds with assets like trees or buildings – all these things can now be done automatically thanks to advanced algorithms powered by artificial intelligence! This means developers don’t have spend time manually creating content but instead focus on other aspects such as story telling or gameplay mechanics which ultimately leads better gaming experiences overall!
As we move forward into the future, we’re likely going see even more examples where Artificial Intelligence meets Video Games Development – whether it’s through improved character animation systems or enhanced environmental design tools – there’s no doubt that AI will continue play an important role in shaping our gaming experiences for years come!
