Chinese developer and publisher Nuverse is using AI for all NPC speech and animation in games. For its upcoming science fiction survival title Earth: Revival the development team used a system to generate speech and compute full body animations for NPCs, without any manual intervention. It even helps writing the lines.

You should concentrate on building up your writing portfolio and getting regular game writing work. They’re related, but the difference is this: A game writer’s primary responsibility is to promote the story that the game tells through the scripts they write. Creative writing. Technical writing.

With revamped weapons well underway thanks to James, another of our talented artists, Amanda, worked on revising the concept for an important merchant NPC that will help you score all the wares and goods you need to complete your Raksaka Proving. How did they get here then, you might ask?

Helping a NPC gets you a pet/sidekick [link] may I chime in? I like quests which turn out to be something completely different than you expect, and where the good writing/setup makes you forget that its a scripted event. Funny, and builds NPC character (which they don't do much with after). RPG or adventure, makes no difference.

Sometimes it’s not always that and the siblings get along, but I’m using my own experience to write Will and Samantha’s stories. . A very important NPC in the game. There won’t be any huge mechanics to show in the game, but a little nice story for you to enjoy. It looks bright, colorful, and wholesome.

It’s the fault of developers for not exploring new kinds of stories, new kinds of worlds, new kinds of mechanics and so on. You can and likely should use some, or even most of these (although in my opinion, we definitely need to ditch the “sprawling vista” – I’ll write an article on that someday).
