Generative AI

News about AI services and models, as well as case studies on the use of generative artificial intelligence in video game development.

Among the trailers shown at The Game Awards 2024 ceremony, the trailer for Catly—an MMO featuring cats by the studio SuperAuthenti—caught some attention. Online suspicions arose that it, like the game itself, might have been created using generative artificial intelligence (AI). In a comment to IGN, the developers of Catly stated that this is not the case
Campfire has successfully secured $3.95 million for its generative AI engine, Sprites. As reported by Venturebeat, the seed funding round included contributions from Y Combinator, FundersClub, Immad Akhund of Mercury, gaming entrepreneur and investor Juha Paananen, and Chris Ye, the founder of Uken Games. To demonstrate the capabilities of their technology, Campfire is working on its own game, Cozy Friends. This game will feature characters with the ability to "remember previous interactions, retain key information on topics, and exhibit a high level of emotional intelligence, influencing the flow of conversation and ensuring each user has a unique experience"
