Discover How AI Tools for Game Creators Will Revolutionize Gaming with Xbox and Inworld AI

Xbox and Inworld AI, a company that specializes in generative AI models for character development, have joined forces to create AI tools for game creators. The partnership, which will last for several years, aims to help game developers enhance their creativity, productivity, and innovation with AI.

AI Design Copilot

One of the tools that the partnership will develop is an AI design copilot, which will assist game designers with generating creative ideas for their games.

The AI design copilot will be able to turn simple prompts into detailed scripts, dialogue trees, quests, and more, based on the genre, theme, and style of the game. The AI design copilot will also provide feedback and suggestions to improve the game design and make it more engaging and immersive for the players.

AI Character Runtime Engine

Another tool that the partnership will develop is an AI character runtime engine, which will enable game creators to integrate dynamic and responsive characters into their games. The AI character runtime engine will use generative AI models to power the character expressions, gestures, dialogue, and actions, based on the player’s input and choices.

The AI character runtime engine will also allow game creators to create new narratives with stories, quests, and dialogue that adapt to the player’s behavior and preferences.

The Benefits of AI Tools for Game Creators

The partnership between Xbox and Inworld AI will leverage Microsoft’s cloud-based AI solutions, such as Azure OpenAI Service, to provide game creators with state-of-the-art AI tools that can be used on any platform and for any game. The partnership will also collaborate and innovate with game creators inside Xbox studios as well as third-party studios to develop the tools that meet their needs and inspire new possibilities for future games.

Haiyan Zhang, general manager of Gaming AI at Xbox, said:

“As with all creator tools we make at Xbox, our goal is to deliver state-of-the-art AI tools for game developers of any size, anywhere in the world, and on every platform where players want to play. We want to help make it easier for developers to realize their visions, try new things, push the boundaries of gaming today, and experiment to improve gameplay, player connection, and more. We will collaborate and innovate with game creators inside Xbox studios as well as third-party studios as we develop the tools that meet their needs and inspire new possibilities for future games.”

Ilya Gelfebeyn, CEO at Inworld AI, said:

“Inworld’s goal is to bring life to characters and virtual worlds in a way that was previously unimaginable – shifting from a scripted player-character dynamic to one that adapts to players’ actions and choices in real-time and providing players with a sense of agency and engagement like never before. Orchestrating multiple AI models at runtime allows our character engine to power character expressions, gestures, dialogue, and actions that are dynamic and responsive.

Expanding the capabilities of the character engine will be a core focus of the collaboration, with a dual emphasis on expanding both the engine’s AI modalities and optimizing it for performance at runtime. While we’re focused on bringing depth and realism to characters (and rendering them within the logic and fantasy of their worlds), what we’re most excited about is how developers will use this breakthrough technology in ways that we have yet to imagine.”

How can I use the AI Tools for Game Creators?

The AI Tools for Game Creators or AI Design Copilot is a tool that can help you generate creative ideas for your game, such as scripts, dialogue trees, quests, and more. To use the AI design copilot, you need to provide some basic information about your game, such as the genre, theme, style, and main characters.

You can also give some prompts or keywords to guide the AI Tools for Game Creators to generate the content that you want.

For example, if you are making a fantasy role-playing game, you can provide the following information to the AI design copilot:

• Genre: Fantasy RPG
• Theme: Magic and adventure
• Style: Medieval and whimsical
• Main characters: A wizard, a knight, and a fairy
• Prompts: A quest to find a hidden treasure, a dialogue with a dragon, a plot twist

The AI design copilot will then use this information to generate a detailed script, dialogue tree, quest, or plot twist for your game. You can review the generated content and edit it as you wish. You can also ask the AI design copilot for feedback or suggestions to improve your game design.

The AI design copilot is powered by generative AI models that can learn from large amounts of data and create novel and relevant outputs. The AI design copilot is also integrated with Microsoft’s cloud-based AI solutions, such as Azure OpenAI Service, to provide you with state-of-the-art AI tools for game development.
