Inworld

Inworld is an AI engine that can help developers build games with new game mechanics, lifelike NPCs and changing game worlds. It can help developers build immersive games with new game mechanics, real-time AI agents and changing game states. The platform is geared for developers who want to tap into new levels of player engagement, simplify game design and future-proof their AI systems.

Among Inworld's abilities are:

• Real-Time AI: The Inworld Engine can power real-time game mechanics that respond to player choices, changing game states, environments and AI agents.
• Content Creation: Inworld Studio is used to design and build games, automating some processes to let developers create characters, scenes and interactive stories with AI.
• AI Infrastructure: Inworld Core can be used to build custom solutions for enterprise-class AI infrastructure, including ML training and serving, for maximum performance and reliability.

The company has integrated its technology with several game projects, including Neo NPCs, Covert Protocol, Eternium, Get Slapped, Avalon, Cloudborn and Aria One. The projects span a range of game types, from sci-fi action dramas to MMOs, fantasy RPGs, base management, detective and slapstick-comedy action-adventure games.

Inworld also includes a narrative graph framework that can be used to lay out interactive narratives, letting developers rapidly brainstorm and explore new storylines. The technology is based on a partnership with Microsoft, and the two companies say it leads to more engaging and immersive storytelling.

The company promises the technology will lead to longer player engagement, longer play sessions and higher retention rates through AI-powered gameplay. In a survey, 99% of gamers said AI NPCs make games better, and 81% said they'd pay more for games with AI NPCs.

Inworld includes tools to help developers control their creative process, including character creation, scene creation and dialogue management. It also includes AI voice generation abilities for dynamic vocal performances that can make characters sound more lifelike and nuanced.

Inworld is available to developers of all sizes, from indie studios to big game studios. It's got a free trial, and the company has published documentation to help developers get started.
