Keen Software House :
Dear fellow gamers and innovators,
From the beginning of gaming itself, we've been stuck with the same scripted, predictable NPCs in our games, with their limitations, repetitive dialogs, and without any option to do something unexpected.
Until today. The wait is over!
Our sister company GoodAI is thrilled to announce that the Alpha version of AI People has officially launched today! After months of anticipation, the game is finally available to the public, offering a first glimpse into the groundbreaking world we’ve been developing. The Alpha release marks a major milestone for us at GoodAI, and we can't wait for you to experience it.
You still have a chance to join the AI revolution in gaming and be part of the movement towards true AI NPCs!
How to play?
Join the waiting list and when your batch is ready, you'll receive an approval email with instructions on how to proceed.
Join the AI People Waiting List
Before diving into the details of the Alpha release, we encourage you first to check out our Alpha Release Trailer. The trailer beautifully tells the story of how NPCs persuaded a player to create this trailer, as more players means more time alive for them. Interestingly, this persuasion came after the player had initially killed one of the NPCs, prompting them to take action. The trailer also gives a glimpse into the immersive gameplay and dynamic interactions you can experience in this Alpha version. It’s the perfect way to get a feel for what’s to come!
What is AI People?
AI People aims to be more than just a game—it envisions a new frontier in the simulation of artificial intelligence interactions. In this ambitious project, we're working towards creating an immersive experience where players will engage with highly complex NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) designed to adapt and evolve based on their environment and player input. Our goal is to develop each NPC, or "agent," powered by advanced language models with long-term memory capabilities, potentially enabling lifelike behaviors, personalities, and goals that could dynamically change over time.
We're striving to create agents that aren't static—ideally, they would learn, grow, and respond to the world around them, making every interaction unique. Our vision includes giving players the power to influence these AI-driven characters, whether by guiding them through personal development or building entire ecosystems. While we're still in the early stages, we believe this concept has the potential to offer an unparalleled gameplay experience in the future.
