AI is Changing the Game
AI is Changing the Game
Here's how AI is revolutionizing game design:
Welcome to MINDS AT PLAY. Join hundreds of tinkers, creatives, gamers and educators pioneering playful experiences on the open internet:
Nothing excites me more than new things: new technologies, new projects, new heroes to rally for. I am the quintessential optimist, so I welcome the new with open arms. Today I am sharing something new(ish) that I feel will be rather important in terms of how we create and engage with games.
The talk of the town: AI x Crypto.
Now, this topic has come up a few times on MINDS AT PLAY, most notably on our 2024 Trends Forecast, but though I am as interested in AI as the next person, I don’t assume to be an expert. Here are words and ideas from an actual expert ⤵
In this thread, writer @Accelxr breaks down and eloquently expresses the many different ways game loops can be designed utilizing the best of both web3 and AI.
“There is no doubt AI + crypto will both alter gaming, but the merger of all three is an enormously large design space that is still broadly untapped. Using generative models for UGC, finding new game loops around training or playing with agents, AI NPCs, etc. truly excites me” - @Accelxr

One of the games mentioned in this thread is Upstreet AI — which is a game I hadn’t heard of until coming across this thread. The writer also mentions a AI x web3 game we previously shared titled “AI Arena”, among others. Thank you to content creator @Cynnx_crypto for this great explainer video:

ICYMI, Resharing what I have said before on AI x web3 gaming:
AI-driven "generative agents" are expected to revolutionize player experiences (as per Delphi Digital) and create novel retail opportunities for media and IP giants entering the Web3 space. Web3 gaming projects like AI Arena, with a mission to foster AI intuition and literacy through a gaming experience, may become strategic partners for legacy IP looking to establish a presence at the intersection of AI and Web3 gaming. This convergence marks an exciting era for the industry, blending traditional and cutting-edge elements to redefine the gaming landscape.
Until next time
Thanks for reading. A special thank you to @Accelxr on X & Mirror for sharing your insights!
