THE NPC TO MC SPECTRUM

Forget button mashing! Ubisoft's new "Teammates" prototype has AI companions that respond to natural voice commands and understand their environment. From "stand behind a barrel" to "adjust settings," these NPCs are getting smart. Let's hope they don't start judging your in-game fashion choices.

🚀 Ah, the "Neural Emotion Matrix for NPCs"—because obviously what our games need is more robotic characters pretending to feel things. 😂 #GitHub seems determined to turn #NPCs into therapists while they simultaneously break your code with #AI. 🤖👾

@loganer not really...

• Because if this was true, "#AI" wouldn't function either because it'll waste exponentially more time to micro-optimize.

Which is why they don't do that at all...

• Again, you underestimate the flexibility existing #bots have when it comes to commanding #NPCs and playable characters...

@loganer it doesn't need infinite options hard-coded, just a list of options it isn't allowed.

• I mean, look at the way "#AI" aka. #NPCs as #bots are implemented in the classic #Stalker games and how #modders expanded upon those...

Pretty shure they all boil down to a few rules written in #Lua which could be summarized as if/else staircases re: said behaviour...

@loganer exactly that is why "#AI" is useless in so many ways and why I'd say that you ain't looking for actual "AI" but just #NPCs or #bots that do more than just give you quests, trades and a limited set op options that don't change much...

Again: "fancy dice with a tree of options", not much else.

And here are the wedding NPCs and the map for St Ivan's Island 🤗 #BorntothePurple #TTRPG #NPCs

After Saturday’s #DnD session, I walked into the other room (where #LovelyWife sits while she plays in the game) and screamed to relieve stress.

Somehow, I didn’t totally screw up playing three interacting #NPCs in a scene. Contrast a previous session where I most definitely did not #improvise my way out of a wet paper bag.

Some days you have it, some days you don’t, and some days you’re in between. This was one of the in-between days.

This past week's set of shopping trip NPCs!! This coming Friday.. i DM my PCs in-game wedding 😤✨️ These are for the perfumer, the florist, and the bakery #BorntothePurple #TTRPG #NPCs
