Is this a proposal for an AI system or sandbox engine that allows for high player agency and emergent behavior? Media Critique:
: Even in "free-play" modes, NPCs typically have internal memory or status bars. Treating an NPC a certain way will alter how they respond to you later. 2. Focus on Personality and Connection
: Test different tones to see how an NPC’s AI reacts. In 2026, many games use generative systems that allow NPCs to "reason" and "negotiate" in real-time. Customization
LLMs (Large Language Models) allow players to have unscripted conversations.
