Recently, the new game "Whispers From The Star" (Whispers From The Star) by miHoYo founder Cai Haoyu's mysterious AI game company Anuttacon was exposed. This game is a sci-fi themed interactive game driven by AI technology. It takes "real-time dialogue to determine fate" as its core and provides an open, personalized and immersive game experience.
Game trailer:
Different from the preset plot branches in traditional narrative games, "Whisper of the Stars" pushes the multi-modal capabilities of AI to the extreme. Players will play the role of Stella, a girl from the Department of Astrophysics, who is the only contact on the alien planet GAIA, and help her survive and leave the planet through dialogue. Stella's dialogue, emotions and even body movements are all generated by AI in real time, and every suggestion from the player may rewrite her survival strategy or emotional state. For example, when the player anxiously guides her to avoid alien creatures through voice, Stella's heart rate (displayed in real time on the game interface) will soar with the level of tension. If she chooses to respond indifferently, her eyes and tone of voice will also show disappointment.
"Whispering Stars" supports multiple dialogue methods such as video, voice, and text, and the screen is processed 100% in real time. The internal beta of the game is currently open. Many participants praised its immersion as "as if talking to real humans", especially Stella's survival feedback based on parameters such as environmental temperature and signal strength, which made hard-core science fiction fans extremely satisfied. Someone said: "When I comforted her with my voice, the moment she lowered her head and smiled, my heart beat faster - this was not a game at all, it was emotional kidnapping."
Others think: "You have to deal with your boss at work and save your AI girlfriend after get off work. Do you want this blessing?" In this regard, Anuttacon revealed that in the future, more environmental interaction mechanisms (such as resource collection, alien exploration) may be introduced, instead of relying solely on dialogue-driven.
In the more than half a year since its establishment, the Anuttacon team has attracted Microsoft graphics tycoon, former Bilibili game director and other tycoons to join, and the team size has doubled to about 40 people. We are still recruiting AI-related talents, including pre-training, post-training, agent, video generation and other positions.
