Latest Game Ideas

Exploring the frontier of AI-driven multiplayer concepts with a new genre of gaming called EmotialAI.

The concept behind the EmotialAI genre, unlike other video game genre where players have full control over all actions they may take and drive the game play, in this genre the game play is limited for their character, rather the game has control over the actions and consequences for the character.
There will still be situations where the player can undertake small actions which may influence the direction of things within the game, however the focus for the player is the engagement of those around them in different settings.
As the intended game play is multiplayer and given that players will be able to communicate with in game voice, they can share the experience that their character lives in real time.

EmotialAI Genre of games is heavily focused on procedural AI characters engaging with players to elicit an emotional response in ways not previously experienced in other genres of gaming.
The following two practical game titles have been created to articulate this new game genre

My Life as a Piece of Furniture

Player begins game by either selecting a piece of furniture from a catalog or using a random selector. The player will then be shown the image of the piece of furniture selected- suggestion that furniture could be made to have facial expression in a 3D animation style, where the mouth and expression will change as the player talks through in world voice.

The players furniture will then be placed into a home situation by the game engine; this will be important as the home situation could vary in many different possibilities:
• The home could be that of a young family, man, woman, children, pet; The home could be an elderly couple;
• The home could be an apartment with a single man or woman;

So many more scenarios could be applied.

Note* this is important as it will engage the player in different ways depending on the situation, regardless of the environment and the home, the player will be faced with a number of emotions, sadness, happiness, fun, stress as they overhear the AI avatars engage between themselves.

The humans in the home will be AI driven avatars (similar to the Sims in look and movement).

Note* all AI avatar humans will use voice and speak using human language that can be understood by the player. Game play will be driven by both algorithm and procedural AI scenarios, that AI will dive procedural language between humans in the home which in turn will allow the player to listen in on the conversations and in some way feel as if they are engaged without being engaged.

Players who have their furniture characters in the same room will be able to interact with one another through the in-game voice system; however, they will not be able to interact with other players in other rooms.

While the player has no direct ability to influence the human AI's in the game, they will have specific actions they can apply based on the type of furniture, following examples will illustrate:
• If you are a lamp you could flash on and off;
• If you are a phone you could ring;
• If you are a sterio you could play music. There may be scenarios in which the furniture player may need to get the attention of the AI human, lets say there is a robber entering the home at night as an example.

Other ways the game can influence the player in the following ways:
Player furniture can be moved between rooms; Player furniture can also be sold or given as a gift to another home;
Player furniture can be broken and need to be fixed, being sent out to factories or repair shops.

As players spend time together, they begin to grow a social network within the game, sharing experiencing, commenting on the coming and going of the humans, the drama and the emotions of what is going on around them.

As you could imagine, as players build these relationships and given that the game could at any time move them, the reality is that this connection could be lost, however at the same time new relationships could form with other players on to different homes. This genre has a number of elements which would provide a level of anxiety and anticipation, not to dissimilar to the horror genre, with both disappointment and excitement at the change in home, losing player friends and meeting new ones or being placed in a not so nice home or an amazing home. In this game the observation of what is taking place before their eyes and ears in a home setting, usually behind closed doors with humans, they will be privy to and in so many ways this will be unique for a game.

Mannequin Life

Player begins game by selecting a male or female mannequin. The players mannequin character is placed on the ground floor of a multi-story department store, the ground floor is the lowest level and deals with low end fashion, discounts.

All mannequins start undressed. Apart from the player mannequin characters there are also the following character types: AI driven department store avatars who are responsible for dressing each of the mannequins and also to move the mannequins around the department store; AI driven shopper avatars who will browse the stores stopping in front of the mannequins and commenting and also buying the clothing and accessories.

Note* all AI avatars are to use voice and speak using human language that can be understood by the player. Game play will be driven by both algorithm and procedural AI scenarios, that is the selection of clothes used to dress mannequins, the movement and placement of mannequins, the movement and speech of shoppers.

Players who are in the same level of the store will be able to interact with one another through the in-game voice system; however, they will not be able to interact with other players on other levels. While the player has no direct ability to influence the game, players can undertake actions which may or may not influence the game and are designed to provide fun to other players around them, these may include:
• The mannequin can drop clothing which has been placed on them;
• The mannequin can change pose;
• The mannequin can make small eye or mouth movements, which are sometimes witnessed by shoppers and staff, driving them somewhat insane.

The game play automation will also award points to players based on the following scenarios:
If the clothes the player has on is purchased, they receive points; If clothes the player has on is returned, they lose points;
• If a player is moved to a higher level of the store, they gain status points;
• If a player is moved to a storeroom, then they lose status points.

Other interesting facets of the game: As players spend time together, they begin to grow a social network within the game, sharing experiencing, commenting on what shoppers are saying about them and their clothing.

As you could imagine, as players build these relationships and given that the game could at any time move them, the reality is that this connection could be lost, however at the same time new relationships could form with other players on a different level of the department store.

This genre has a number of elements which would provide a level of anxiety and anticipation, not to dissimilar to the horror genre, with both disappointment and excitement at the change in level and the increase or decrease in status points. As a side goal for the player, it would be to make it to the top floor where they would be dressed in high fashion and be awarded the highest points.

This new evolving genre of game has many applications and while we have provided an insight into the gameplay for these two games, there is more to share as to how the game will operate within this genre. We believe that this could be the new gaming genre for the future which we feel is the type of genre which will lend itself to major promotion through social media, with gameplay video which will maintain interest and grow the game genre.
