Show HN: Trailer for our realtime GenAI+unreal multiplayer game [video]
youtube.comHello! I'm Aaron, co-founder at Jam & Tea Studios. For the last year, we've been exploring if and how genai can create novel gameplay experiences. The first results of our experiments is Retail Mage. It features our own embodied agent NPCs (w/ dialog, planning, observation, memory) and our unique object interaction system in which players can say/type what they want to do and we'll translate that into the 3D unreal simulation.
We're running this on GPUs hosted in AWS (we're part of the AWS GenAI Accelerator) where we manage the inference ourselves (for feature, cost and performance reasons).
Getting realtime inference to function, at even a modest scale, for a realtime 3D video game has been... fun. And definitely interesting. This game includes just a few of the AI features we've prototyped, so we're excited to build more games with more advanced features soon.
