PROTOTYPING AI FOR RESURGENCE and Games
As part of Resurgence, I explored and prototyped how generative AI could move beyond being a development tool and become an integral part of the player experience. The work investigated AI-driven characters capable of natural-language conversation, adaptive personalities, personalised dialogue and real-time contextual support, alongside systems for dynamic storytelling, world-building and content generation.
Using AI for Persoanlisation
In the Resurgence prototype, this became an AI companion drone that could explore and scan the environment with the player, respond naturally to questions and adapt its support, personality, voice and appearance to the individual player.
Responsive & Inclusive
he wider goal was to prototype a new approach to games in which AI enables experiences that are more responsive, personal and inclusive — allowing game worlds and characters to react to how an individual chooses to play, rather than requiring every possible interaction to be predetermined by the development team.
