Microsoft is partnering with Inworld AI to create Xbox game development tools for generative AI characters, storylines, and more.

Microsoft is partnering with Inworld AI to develop Xbox tools that will allow developers to create AI-powered characters, stories, and quests. The multiyear partnership will include an “AI design copilot” system that Xbox developers can use to create detailed scripts, dialogue trees, quest lines, and more.

“At Xbox, we believe that with better tools, creators can make even more extraordinary games,” explains Haiyan Zhang, general manager of gaming AI at Xbox. “This partnership will bring together: Inworld’s expertise in working with generative AI models for character development, Microsoft’s cutting-edge cloud-based AI solutions including Azure OpenAI Service, Microsoft Research’s technical insights into the future of play, and Team Xbox’s strengths in revolutionizing accessible and responsible creator tools for all developers.”

The multiplatform AI toolset will include the AI design copilot for scripts and dialogue, and an AI character engine that can be integrated into games and used to dynamically generate stories, quests, and dialogue.

Inworld has been working on AI NPCs that react to questions from a player, much like how ChatGPT or Bing Chat responds to natural language queries. These AI NPCs can respond in unique voices and can include complex dialogue trees or personalized dynamic storylines within a game. Inworld’s technology can also be used for narration, so companions in top-down RPGs can warn of groups of enemies or players up ahead.

Microsoft is only offering this as an optional tool for game developers, so it will be up to them to decide on the level of generative AI in future titles. The Finals developer Embark Studios recently had to defend against its use of AI-generated voices, arguing that “making games without actors isn’t an end goal,” in a statement to IGN.

Is that cause the forum has a Twitter account that auto-posts topics in this forum?

Oh, is that what all of his posts are? To be honest, I think too many new topics per day on subjects people don't care about hurts discussion. Once a thread hits page 2 it probably dead, no reason to send them to the grave early in exchange for a topic that either fits within another one or isn't of interest to users.

This is a rare occasion on which I agree with you completely and without reservation.

The amount of threads @John Elden Ring posts that nobody ever bothers responding to is getting a bit ridiculous, and a bit of restraint and curation would be better for the forum than endless diarrhetic news link threads about things nobody has any interest in.
