Nvidia has just demoed the latest addition to Nvidia ACE, the company’s interface for making it easy for game developers to create AI-generated NPCs. With the addition of the Inworld Engine from Inworld AI, developers can now quickly and easily add personality traits and backstories to their characters, allowing these features to inform how the character interacts with the player.
Nvidia has previously demonstrated similar tech powered by Convai AI, which it demonstrated at CES 2024. I had the chance to interact with that demo and was impressed by how well the demo could hear my voice, interpret my responses, and make the character interact in a natural feeling way. This was all powered locally using, of course, the best graphics card choices from Nvidia.

As a passionate Speedrunner, I’m always on the hunt for indie games that break the mold and offer unique gameplay experiences. One standout title that recently grabbed my attention is “Hades” by Supergiant Games. This game seamlessly combines fast-paced action with roguelike elements, delivering a challenging yet satisfying gameplay loop that keeps me hooked.
I’m excited about the potential of AI-generated NPCs with their own personalities and backstories, like the ones showcased by Nvidia. This innovation could take indie game storytelling to new heights, creating more immersive and captivating experiences that blur the line between player and character interactions.
