Sikkim Game Register are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create intelligent characters and enemies, enhance realism, and enable adaptive gameplay. Pathfinding algorithms and behavior trees enable NPCs to navigate environments more effectively, while reinforcement learning and re-design allow them to adjust their responses to player actions, providing a personalized challenge. Procedural generation automates content creation, reducing development time and enabling limitless possibilities for players to explore and engage with game worlds.

In the sci-fi action-adventure Tacoma, for example, players are exploring an abandoned space station with a team of non-player characters, including an artificial intelligence that assists them in their mission. The game’s AI is a key component to the story, as it allows the team to make tactical decisions based on real-time environmental and threat data, as well as to react to unexpected events that might occur during their exploration of the station.

Other uses of AI in gaming include:

Continuous Improvement – AI enables ongoing optimization of game balancing through data-driven updates & patches

Player Insights – AI provides insights into player behavior, allowing developers to better understand what makes gamers tick and deliver a more personalized experience

NPC Behavior – AI endows NPCs with far more expressive, realistic behaviors, making them feel more like real, multidimensional characters than robotic quest dispensers. This approach also enables NPCs to build deeper relationships with players and adapt their dialogue on the fly to reference shared experiences, fostering more meaningful connections.…
