The company produces GPUs and drives advancements in gaming and AI. Additionally, the company is developing products at the intersection of AI and gaming. For instance, NVIDIA’s Avatar Cloud Engine(ACE) for games is a specialized AI model foundry service designed to elevate gaming experiences. ACE powers NPCs through AI-powered natural language interactions[14].
Recently, there’s a rise of specialized AI gaming companies taking advantage of the technology to influence how games are developed and played.
Here are some examples:
Inworld AI: Game developers can use this character engine to develop AI powered NPCs. The characters can be configured to have different personalities, express emotions in response to users and audio[15].
Modulate: This company uses advanced machine-learning techniques to offer voice-native moderation solutions. The Toxmod feature analyzes voice chat and flags toxic conversations and bad behavior among players[16].
AI has been used in video games for several decades now. This is because of increased research around the tech and an improved understanding of ways it can be applied in real life.
Here are some notable events that helped shape the use of AI in video games.
1980s: AI algorithms get integrated into games like “Pac-Man”.The game featured an AI-controlled enemy with unique behavior.
1990s-2000s: Popularization of techniques like finite state machines(FSM) due to the ability to provide a structured way to control in-game characters. During this period, FSM became a great tool for real-time strategy games(RTS).
2000s-2010s: The use of behavior trees started gaining momentum during this period. They help control the behavior of in-game entities in complex and interactive game environments.
In 2010, Starcraft 2, an RTS game, featured battles between AI and humans. The bots in the game used multiple techniques and approaches, such as rule-based systems, which subsequently led to the introduction of agents that could mimic human behavior. Other games like Supreme Commander 2 started using approaches like neural networks to control the response of in-game characters[17].
From the 2010s onwards, numerous techniques continue to be deployed in games on a need basis. Game studios continued integrating newer approaches, such as decision trees, to help NPCs respond appropriately and pathfinding algorithms for navigation.
Renowned entities, such as Google, continue to push the boundaries of research into the field while introducing novel approaches to different problems. For instance, the development of AlphaGo, that was used to learn to play a game called Go and defeated a world Go champion named Ke Jie in 2017[18]. A variant of DeepMind’s algorithm was used to learn to play video games and defeated a starcraft human champion in 2019. DeepMind’s showed significant progress in using reinforcement learning and deep learning in decision-making for games.More recently, Google made research on Generative Agents to automatically train NPC in simulating human behavior and creating unique adaptive background stories, making their in-game behavior feel more human-like[19].
Current game development trends aim to implement more realistic NPC behavior. Developers look to add a depth of realism and complexity to mimic intelligence to increase game immersion.
Going forward, there’s a lot of excitement in the industry about using generative AI and generative adversarial networks(GANs). The game industry is looking to integrate these into their working pipeline to harness the ability to quickly generate assets, among other benefits.
Nonetheless, in-game NPCs have evolved little in their performance, especially their skill. This is particularly true when using deep neural network techniques, which can make AI agents learn and evolve, producing unexpected behavior. The player experience and game predictability are critical aspects for game designers and according to Professor Togelius, using deep neural networks and evolutionary computation in AI can lead to unpredictable outcomes, which poses a challenge for designers[20]. The complexity of implementing NPCs trained using neural networks is another obstacle that is often circumvented by preferring other methods.
Also, in versus modes, it was intended that NPC AIs should not evolve much, at least not in their performance, but perhaps in their behavior. As for example having a more human-like behavior but no superhuman skills in shooting games[21]. In particular, there is no ML in AI versus because there would be no fun, the AI would just be too strong, or even unbeatable. One exception regarding ML in versus with Forza[22] and its vehicle driving, which is very complex and requires some Deep Learning (DL) for the AI to learn how to drive the car properly.
The use of AI in the video game industry spans different areas, enhancing the overall delivery of video games.
Industry players like Unity CEO are upbeat about using AI in game development. The CEO foresees a tenfold transformation in gamer experience, similar to the transition from 2D to 3D or the rise of mobile gaming[23].
Here are some key areas where AI is pushing innovation boundaries in gaming.
Generative AI has bust into the limelight, showcasing the ability to generate different outputs such as images, texts, voice, and videos, from text and other forms of inputs. The impact of generative AI on the gaming industry was valued at $922 million in 2022. Estimates put the value at over $7 billion by 2032, at a staggering CAGR of 23.3%(2023-2032)[24].
At a high level, generative AI relies on multiple techniques, including deep learning, machine learning, and neural networks, to generate output depending on the training dataset and input.
Much of the focus on generative AI has been on streamlining and speeding up the production pipeline by game studios.
Here are some of the possibilities of generative AI:
Generative AI tools will affect the efficiency and speed of game creation. Artists can automate mundane and time-consuming tasks. Developers can quickly create vivid visual effects, characters, levels, and environments.
It's also possible to carry out quality assurance and tests powered by generative AI. Developers and QA engineers create test cases to identify and rank bugs.
Procedural generation uses algorithms to generate content dynamically. Combining procedural generation and AI introduces limitless possibilities for gamers to interact with responsive and dynamic games.
It’s possible to make each game instance a fresh adventure by generating new levels, maps, and quests to enhance replayability and exploration.
Some of the popular games that have used procedural generation AI are
No Man’s Sky: This is a game about the exploration and survival in unique galaxies generated through procedural generation. The game publisher used AI algorithms to generate an infinite number of planets. The algorithm generates the levels and environments on the fly, ensuring each player enjoys a unique experience.
Spelunky 2: This game developed by Mossmouth is a unique platformer game using AI to generate numerous levels procedurally.
Non-player characters are a way game developers provide players with opponents, companions, or allies, enhancing the game's overall experience. Initially, games provided NPCs with scripted behaviors, predetermined dialogue, or simplistic pathfinding algorithms.
A report detailing gamers' attitudes towards NPCs shows a high level of excitement for its potential. Out of 1000 participants of this survey in the US, 99% believe that AI-powered NPCs would positively impact gameplay. Furthermore, 81% of the respondents were willing to pay for such an experience[25].
Unlike their predecessors, AI-powered NPCs are lifelike and capable of interaction and learning. Gamers can expect characters that adapt to current action, creating a more realistic experience and a sense of connection.
Game studios have been using finite state machines and decision trees to program NPCs' behaviors and action sequences. Developers could give the characters states like idle, alert, and active and a set of conditions that resulted in a change in state. The transition would depend on whether a specific condition was triggered in the game.
Unlike the use of finite state machines, AI-driven NPCs can learn and adapt from a player's moves. They can analyze their virtual worlds and even have sub-missions. They can go through their environment and conduct activities such as exploring and trading on their own, giving a better feeling of life.
Developers can also use AI to help them model character behaviors. This would essentially determine how the character would react to certain situations, move or interact with their world. Pathfinding algorithms can help NPCs find the best route to use.
Another way AI is transforming NPC is through dialogue capabilities. This is by using Natural Language Processing(NLP) and in some cases voice recognition, that gives NPCs the ability to understand and respond to players. Verbal engagement can be done through textual commands or voice commands, resulting in context-aware responses adding fluidity to the game.
Companies like Convai are helping developers create in-game characters with human-like conversation capabilities. The characters can have open-ended voice-based conversations and carry out action[26]. Other startups like Inworld add a layer of advanced behavior to NPCs. This adds depth and realism to the characters, mimicking the full range of human expressions, from conversation to emotions[27].
A game like Middle Earth: Shadow of War uses some level of AI for the enemy orc. The orcs have different characters coupled with different abilities. For instance, an orc can betray, spy, and even join forces with you[28].
AI and machine learning can play a pivotal role in game balancing and analytics.
It’s possible to integrate AI into games such that it provides balanced and competitive gameplay. This can be through balanced matchups or adaptive difficulty.
Advanced matchup algorithms can help find suitable challengers, especially in multiplayer online games. Apart from the basic parameters such as win ratios, AI can delve deeper and check the player data such as accuracy, latency, region, reaction time, win rate, and other metrics to determine the skill level. This can help in matching up a player with better challengers who are within their skill metrics.
It is also possible to use AI techniques to analyze a player's behavior and adjust the difficulty to improve the experience. The system records metrics such as progression speed and skills for player performance analysis and then uses that for real-time difficulty adjustment. Developers can use the dynamic difficulty adjustment concept to continuously monitor a player's metrics and adjust the game parameters dynamically.
Testing and debugging games is a fundamental aspect of the overall development and significantly impacts the gameplay experience.
AI-enhanced video game testing aims to automate the process, leading to faster and greater efficiency than manual testing. AI-driven testing tools can simulate multiple scenarios to identify bugs, glitches and playtest quickly.
Game testing is tedious and time-consuming and takes considerable time in game development. For instance, AAA game development may take three to five years, with lots of time required for proper testing[29].
AI can be used to automate processes such as functional and regression testing. It’s also possible to set up tests to detect bugs, glitches and analyze player behavior. Machine learning algorithms can analyze the code and identify patterns that could lead to abnormal occurrences in the game. Additionally, AI can help testers simulate and test different scenarios ranging from network latency to device performance.
Reinforcement learning can also be used to test games by using an AI agent to play the game. In the process, the agent identifies bugs and other anomalies. This can help free testers to handle different tasks and reduce the time required for testing.
It is possible to use AI to detect cheating activities in video games. This involves anomaly detection techniques, identifying outliers from data from players. For instance, the AI system could detect a player who makes an abnormal number of kills in a shooter game.
Machine learning can also be used to identify patterns of players who cheat. Once a model is trained, it can single out instances where it detects cheating from previously known patterns.
There’s also a rise in fraudulent activities in gaming. This presents a problematic position for gaming studios because it may lead to devaluing of in-game products or cause players to lose interest in a game. It’s possible to use machine learning to train models based on datasets available to identify and flag fraudulent activities and even escalate them.
Game studios can use AI to help in decision-making in multiple areas. With machine learning algorithms, it's possible to analyze corpus amounts of data to identify trends and behaviors of players in games. The insights from the analysis can help game studios determine the success of particular game genres, help to make predictive analysis, player behavioral analysis, personalization, and much more.
Companies like GameAnalytics have carved out a niche by using data to provide insights for game studios[30]. Through the use of AI, the company uses data to help its clients make informed decisions.
Game engines provide developers with the tools and frameworks to build games. AI can be used to train neural networks that create components such as graphics renderings and physics engines automatically.
GameGAN is an example of an AI-powered game engine. Nvidia’s GameGAN engines are similar to traditional ones, boasting all components and even a memory module. It uses various neural networks such as GANs, Neural Turing Machines, and LSTM for coding. With this engine, Nvidia could recreate the Pacman game, even determining the static and dynamic parts of the game[31].
There are multiple ways AI can benefit the administration planning and project management of game development. Gaming studios can use AI tools to guide optimal resource allocation and task scheduling. Additionally, it's possible to use AI techniques to help in risk assessments by identifying project risks based on previous data and current parameters.
Companies such as GameRefinery offer game studios the ability to track LiveOps for their mobile games. This includes a way to concentrate resources where they are needed most, revenue-boosting, and methods to analyze events to a granular level. The company uses machine learning-based models for benchmarking against market trends[32].
There are many benefits that game developers and studios can accrue by integrating AI and AI-based tools in game production pipelines. However, as AI promises to influence almost all gaming categories, other stakeholders continue to express valid concerns about using AI.
