Anuttacon, an AI game company founded by Cai Haoyu, founder of Mihayou, recently revealed its first project "Whispers From The Star". With the slogan of "Your dialogue determines her destiny", this game conducts real-time conversations through AI-powered characters to provide an open, personalized immersive experience.
In the game, the player will interact with the protagonist Stella, a girl from the astrophysics department who fell on the alien planet GAIA. The player's mission is to help her survive and escape from the planet through dialogue. Stella's reactions, emotions and actions are generated in real time by AI, and every word from the player may affect the direction of the story and her destiny.
The game interface presents Stella's heart rate, ambient temperature and signal strength in real time, increasing the urgency and sense of substitution for interaction. Players can communicate with Stella through video, voice or text. The game screen is 100% rendered in real time, but the video part is not generated by AI, and the technical challenges are great.
The current internal test only supports iOS12 or above devices, showing high requirements for local computing power and latency. The Anuttacon team has expanded rapidly within six months, attracting talents from technology companies such as Microsoft and Meta. The team has reached about 40 people, with the goal of completely changing the player's interactive experience through AI technology.
In addition, another project under Mihayou is also under development. Baitu Technology, founded by the former Mihayou Inverse Entropy team, focuses on creating an immersive 3D AI experience and further promotes the development of virtual companionship into games.
