1905 movie network news On August 9th, Esther Yu took out a group of summer photos, in which she wore a retro red one-piece swimsuit, with a proud S-curve in a glance, and her shawl was wet, which made her sexy and attractive. The studio also forwarded the essay: "The summer is still warm, and the first swimsuit Xiaoxin photo after beginning of autumn has been delivered!"
The new Audi Q5L has attracted much attention. Photo by Sun Xiaomeng, a reporter from Beijing News
■ Car reading test drive
Starting from the Q7, Audi began to use the design of the new generation of models. On July 6, Beijing News reporters participated in the new Audi Q5L media test drive event held by FAW-Volkswagen Audi in Guizhou. The new Audi Q5L after this "lengthened" has become full and mature in visual effect through the improvement of the front details. The larger hexagonal middle net and the complex and eye-catching headlight design all show the unique design language of Audi models, and the longer wheelbase enhances its market competitiveness.
The wheelbase is lengthened and the space is increased.
The new generation of Audi Q5L still has obvious Audi Q-series genes in its exterior design, with a large 3D aluminum intake grille and intelligent matrix headlights, expressing the Audi family’s expertise in technology.
The new car also lengthens the wheelbase by 88mm to 2908mm, and the lengthened part is concentrated in the rear row space, which has certain advantages in the same class.
In the rear part, the new Q5L is familiar with the previous generation of models, especially the outline of the taillights and the "clam shell" overall hatchback tailgate that continues to be used. The Beijing News reporter noticed that the "exhaust" under the bumper of the new car is only decorative, and the real double exhaust port is located on the underside of the bumper. This has become a common feature of many Audi models, and even the SQ5 has not been spared the "fake exhaust".
In-car technology configuration improvement
The interior texture of the new Q5L has improved. The center console shape is not fancy, simple and practical, and the technology configuration in the car has been improved synchronously.
During the test drive, the Beijing News reporter noticed that the Q5L is equipped with a 12.3-inch full-LCD instrument and the latest MMI multimedia system with an 8.3-inch central control screen, which can provide LTE 4G network, Wi-Fi network hotspot functions, and more.
In the high-end model, the Q5L also has more features to enhance the sense of luxury, such as the Danish Bang & Olufsen sound system, HUD head-up display system, and automatic parking.
Fast dynamic response
The new Q5L is equipped with the same power unit as the new A4L, namely two different power-tuned 2.0T turbocharged engines. The maximum output of the 40 TFSI model is 140 kW, and the maximum output of the 45 TFSI model is 185 kW.
The new car is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission code-named DL382, replacing the 8-speed automatic transmission of the old model. It is worth noting that the new car is equipped with a new quattro ultra four-wheel drive system, which eliminates the central Torson differential on the old model and replaces it with an electronically controlled multi-disc clutch. This change changes the all-wheel drive of the new Audi Q5L to a timely four-wheel drive dominated by the previous drive.
No matter what mode, when the reporter of the Beijing News stepped on the accelerator deeply, he could feel that its power output was very strong. If it was not for the pursuit of "speed and passion", the power would definitely be sufficient.

The ninth episode of the fifth season of "Extreme Challenge" was broadcast last night. Luo Zhixiang, Zhang Yixing, Wang Xun, Di Lizheba, Yue Yunpeng, and Lei Jiayin came to Lizhuang Town and embarked on a journey to find a water source in order to save the water shortage crisis of "Planet Maywater". In the program, Lei Jiayin "self-confidence of fans", "laughter and tears" flew together; Wang Xun assisted Di Lizheba, regardless of personal victory or loss in order to protect the water source. Through this virtual water crisis battle, Jituan called on everyone to protect water resources, so that the audience could entertain and provoke thinking.
At the same time, the program also continues to move forward on the road of adhering to public welfare, sending encouragement and care to the students of primary schools in the earthquake-stricken areas of Yibin. In addition, the program also jointly launched the "Yangtze River Walk" public welfare donation activity to help poor areas along the Yangtze River and post-disaster primary schools in Yibin build sun runways. As a warm "national variety show", "Extreme Challenge" uses practical actions to convey the spirit of "This is Love".
Lei Jiayin’s "Confidence of Fans" laughs frequently online and won the title "The Most Beautiful Person"
In this episode, Lei Jiayin, who wanted to show his fists and feet, was repeatedly "besieged". He came to the ancient town from "Maywater Planet" to find water, and repeatedly bumped into the "dehydration tribe" C.T.O who wanted to stop them. Lei Jiayin, who had never won since the fifth season, immediately showed a strong "desire to survive". He first pretended to be pitiful to the C.T.O and asked them to let him go for the time being. Seeing that the C.T.O members had a little "compassion", he started to "please" while the iron was hot, and "Wang Zining, Brother Xue" blurted out and managed to escape. Lei Jiayin, who thought he was saved from being "hunted" by his "three-inch tongue", said proudly, "I solved all this with my wisdom". Immersed in joy, he was "out of control", and with the confidence of "they can’t bear to eliminate me", he volunteered to be the "bait" to lead out the C.T.O.
The self-inflated Lei Jiayin encountered the challenge of testing professional skills – instant tears. With his solid acting skills and the stimulation of onions, his eyes were red in less than a few seconds, and he shed tears, helping Di Lizheba complete the task of obtaining "the tears of the most beautiful person", and also won the title of "the most beautiful person". Lei Jiayin, who burst into tears online, brought many "sources of happiness" to the audience.
Wang Xun assisted Di Lizheba in protecting the water source and winning praise from netizens
In this issue, Wang Xun was much more experienced and calm, and made a calm judgment on the performance of the other members one by one. Based on his years of understanding of Luo Zhixiang and Zhang Yixing, as well as subtle observations, Wang Xun determined that Luo Zhixiang’s self-destruction of his identity as an "infected person" was to "lose the car and protect the commander"; from the fact that Zhang Yixing did not take the initiative to "attack" Luo Zhixiang, it was determined that Zhang Yixing had been "infected".
Not only that, Wang Xun, who had a clear idea throughout the whole process, always insisted on saving the "planet" as the top priority. At the end of the show, Di Lizheba was the only one left who was not "infected". As an "infected person", Wang Xun should have let his team win. However, he chose to let Di Lizheba enter the spaceship by himself, successfully protecting the water source, and finally bringing "Planet Maywater" back to life. Wang Xun’s actions regardless of personal victory or loss made netizens praise, "Brother Xun is really warm!"
"Extreme Challenge" calls for the protection of water resources "Yangtze River Tour" to practice public welfare and offer love to disaster areas
Water is the source of life, and water resources are the primary condition for maintaining the sustainable development of the earth’s ecological environment. This issue shows the process of the extremely challenging group going to the earth to find water through the virtual "Maywater Planet" water shortage crisis. In the end, in order to save their homeland, they gave up the opportunity to "go home" and worked together to deliver water, successfully bringing the "planet" back to life. Through the mission part of the show, the extremely challenging group made the audience entertaining and aware of the importance of protecting water resources. As the director said at the end of the show, "The water of the Yangtze River nourishes thousands of people who develop along the river. Without water, there would be no one. As long as everyone cares about water, today’s fictional game will not become a reality.
In addition to calling on everyone to be environmentally friendly, "Extreme Challenge" also does not forget to use practical actions to convey the power of public welfare. On the evening of June 17, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake occurred in Changning County, Yibin City, near the town of Lizhuang where the program was recorded. Soon after, the program team rushed to the disaster area of Yibin to visit the students of Shuanghe Town Central Primary School in Changning County, Yibin, where the epicenter was severely damaged, and sent encouragement and care to the students after the disaster.
At the same time, the program also jointly launched the "Yangtze River Walk" public welfare donation activity with the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation and Alibaba Public Welfare. This activity aims to mobilize the whole society to build a sun runway for poverty-stricken areas along the Yangtze River and post-disaster primary schools in Yibin City through online donations from netizens, and contribute to the reconstruction of the disaster area. From sending warmth to the disaster area to launching a public welfare activity of love, "Extreme Challenge" uses practical actions to convey the power of "this is love".

Today, the film exposes Andy Lau’s special. The special shows the daily shooting of the producer, starring, and singing Almighty King Andy Lau, from actor performances, scene scheduling, to action design, Andy Lau has personally given creative shooting suggestions and guidance. Director Qiu Litao and a group of leading actors also appeared to affirm Andy Lau’s contribution during the shooting.
The Almighty King Andy Lau became a model worker of the crew, and his delicate and professional skills were praised by the whole creative force
The drug market has been divided into four worlds for a long time, but the big drug lord Jizang (Koo Tianle, played) is planning to annex the entire ** city to establish his own "drug kingdom". After planning a series of black and black incidents, the anti-drug police Lam Zhengfeng (Miao Qiaowei, played) and his anti-drug action team are all out to hunt down drug dealers. On the other hand, Yu Shuntian (Andy Lau, played) has risen from a small gangster to a financial tycoon and anti-drug "Justice of the Peace", and is offering a reward of 100 million to hunt down Hong Kong’s largest drug dealer, which has caused an uproar in the society. It turns out that Yu Shuntian and Jizang have an ulterior relationship with the same family. Who will win this game of life and death in the past? In the face of the situation of drug dealers, would the police officer Lin Zhengfeng join forces with Yu Shuntian to arrest drug dealers? All the conspiracies and secrets are hidden behind this "drug storm", and a battle between heaven and earth is about to break out.
In the special released today, Andy Lau carefully controls every detail of the shooting, and he will personally play many actions. As long as it is a movie, there is no one he is not familiar with or proficient in. His energy and professionalism in movies are amazing. Director Qiu Litao has worked with Andy Lau for many years, and this is the second time that Andy Lau has worked with him as a producer. Qiu Litao said that because Andy Lau is very familiar with all aspects of the film, he is also an actor himself, and the communication with the actors and directors is very smooth. "It feels very different from before. This time we are in an opposing relationship in the play, and we rarely have the opportunity to confront him head-on," said Gu Tianle. Miao Qiaowei, who plays the anti-drug police officer in the film, also affirms Andy Lau’s professionalism: "He will give advice on the camera position, the actors’ performances, and how good or bad it is." Lin Jiaxin is also not stingy in praise: "He is really a hero in and out of the play." Zheng Zeshi and Zhang Guoqiang even have no reservations about their admiration for Andy Lau in their words.
Andy Lau’s first work after injury staged a battle between heaven and earth, and a new story set off a drug-sweeping storm
"Anti-Drug 2 Heaven and Earth Showdown" is the second collaboration between Andy Lau and Koo Tianle after a lapse of 12 years. The two best actors staged a duel on the same stage – two people who seem to be at odds with good and evil, but they came from the same family; a drug-related showdown destroyed 20 years of brotherhood. The two exchanged 100 million Hong Kong dollars for each other’s lives, causing an uproar in the society. When asked why there are four words "Heaven and Earth Showdown" in the title of the film, Koo Tianle revealed: "In the film, Andy Lau will be shot", which brings people unlimited speculation. The 100 million Hong Kong dollars life and death "poison bureau", the ultimate showdown between good and evil, who will win? As the gunshots fall, the answer will also be revealed.
"Anti-Drug 2 World Showdown" is a new story, with more prominent drug hazards and the concept of "anti-drug" on the theme. Many drug crime elements and action scenes are highly cautionary. Andy Lau, who is a film producer and starring, confessed that he originally only wanted to be a producer, but after getting the script, he was moved by the role and finally decided to star. He chose this film as his first work after his comeback after injury, and did it himself in front of the stage and behind the scenes.
"Anti-Drug 2 World Showdown" is directed by Qiu Litao, produced by Andy Lau and co-starred with Gu Tianle, Miao Qiaowei and Lin Jiaxin, starring Zhang Guoqiang, Chen Jiale, Wei Shiya, Gong Shuoliang, Ouyang Jing and Li Xian, starring Zheng Zeshi, Lin Jiadong, Ying Cai’er, Zhang Chengjie and Li Canchen.The film will be released nationwide on July 5.

B.B.King pays tribute to the dead pioneer as if going back in time.
BuddyGuy, B.B.King, JohnMayer and KeithUrban joined hands to pay tribute to the dead rock and R&B pioneers. Their performances seemed to bring us back to that era when blues was prevalent. Especially the old B.B.King is still the familiar Gibson and the familiar smile.
Radiohead’s debut performance is grand, and the style is still decadent and different.
Radiohead appeared, and the performance lineup has never been grand. They continued their decadent and alternative The English Patient style, and this year’s best alternative music album was awarded to their 2008 album In Rainbows. Radiohead is not a high-yield band, and there is no reason to award the best alternative music album to others. According to their release speed, it is difficult to see them at the Grammy more than ten years later. This award is more like an encouragement, a symbolic encouragement. Who let Radiohead not be favored by the Grammy jury?
Paul McCartney has no bright spot. Nirvana, the old drummer, has the same momentum.
Paul McCartney’s special performance with Foo Fighters was not as infectious as the previous legend. There was almost no bright spot except the Beatles’ bass melody line that Paul could still find. Dave Grohl, the soul figure of Foo Fighters, returned to the position of drummer, only with the momentum of Nirvana dynasty.
Mariachi Divas won the best Mexican local music album.
Mariachi Divas won the Best Regional Mexican Album.

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss won the Best Production Award of the Year.
The best production award of the year was won by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’s "Please Read The Letter". Coldplay’s "Viva La Vida" did not continue to write myths. Robert Plant said that the production process of this song was very easy and he did not forget to thank Jimmy Page, a former comrade-in-arms. Robert Plant has gained a lot in this Grammy, which also verifies what he said before. As a musician who is not young, he must make new music. There is no doubt that Robert Plant and Alison Krauss did it.
British singer Adele won the Best Newcomer Award. Fat girl dreams Grammy.
The Best Newcomer Award was won by Adele, a British singer. She was obviously excited when she made a speech on the stage, thanking her mother in London and her good friend Duffy. It can be seen how much effort this fat young girl born in 1988 has made.
Katy Perry, red and green with costumes, funny dance, panting
Katy Perry, nominated for the best female voice in this Grammy, danced on the stage, and Katy Perry’s red and green costumes were still funny. At the end of the singing of I Kissed a Girl, Katy Perry’s physical strength was obviously exhausted and even her voice trembled. Panting fully shows that she should strengthen physical exercise.
Coldplay won the best rock album again.
Coldplay won the award again, and the best rock album was won by them. Viva La Vida resounded through the award ceremony for the third time. Blink182 was the guest of honor, and the drummer Travis Barker wore a plaster. The appearance of three members suggested that Blink 182 really came back.
Jonas Brothers took the stage to perform the guitarist "Orchid Finger", which surprised the audience.
Jonas Brothers and Stevie Wonder collaborated on the stage, and Jonas Brothers guitarist’s "Orchid Finger" appeared many times in the performance, which made the fans look amazing.
Jennifer Hudson took the stage to sing the true feelings and moved the audience.
Jennifer Hudson, who won three nominations, sang on stage, and her emotional singing moved all the audience present. At the end of the performance, Jennifer Hudson almost shed tears with excitement.
Taylor Swift collaborates with Miley Cyrus, and beautiful women shine on the stage.
Taylor Swift cooperated with Miley Cyrus, and four male performers on the circular stage became the real foil for these two beautiful singers.
Kid Rock went on stage to sing, and his costume changed, just like Bob Dylan.
Kid Rock, an American rock singer, brought several duet songs to the stage. It is worth mentioning that Kid Rock changed his old style of wearing sunglasses, a black suit and a black hat. At first glance, he looked like Bob Dylan, and Kid Rock Kid Rock was nominated for the best pop male voice in this Grammy.
Coldplay was accused of plagiarizing songs and won the grand prize.
Coldplay band Viva La Vida won the song of the year. Four members of the band wore blue, green, red and purple tops respectively, which made the band radiant, and Coldplay came prepared. The familiar melody of viva la vida sounded for the second time at the award ceremony. The drummer’s acceptance speech thanked his family and fans, and the rumors of the band’s dissolution completely vanished. It seems that Coldplay will not care about plagiarism rumors, and even the American jury agrees with Coldplay. I believe that American guitarist Joe Satriani will still be ruthless?
Sugarland won the grand prize, which means it’s an honor to be on the same stage with Coldplay.
In the acceptance speech, Sugarland, the best country group singing award, thanked her parents and said that she was lucky to have the opportunity to be on the same stage with Coldplay. Is this ironic British rock or real appreciation?
"Thursday will be a fixed game day, paying attention to the entertainment innovation brought by game technology and experience iteration. Welcome to contribute and communicate. Please see the end of the article for contact;For more game cases and technology application research, please pay attention to the brand account of Dongxi Entertainment Game Group.“
Technical development has always been an important force leading the iteration of game products. With the more extensive application of AI technology in the game industry, new game tracks are gradually bred.
Recently, Hidden Door, an American startup company, announced its first product-Hidden Door, a social AIGC narrative platform, and announced that it had completed the financing of US$ 2 million, which was led by the European venture capital fund Northzone, followed by funds such as Makers Fund and Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, and Roblox CTO Dan Sturman also participated as an angel investor.
Hidden Door is a narrative game platform based on AIGC-related technologies. Through AI natural language generation technology, it stimulates the potential of players’ story creation and allows many players to take risks in stories aided by AI.
Hilary Mason, CEO of Hidden Door, said, "This project is mainly to create game narratives together, establish social connections among players, and enable anyone to create unique stories. The challenge is how to develop an AI system, which can not only allow AI to create with players, but also ensure the diversity and security of stories. "
Compared with game design, AI technology and algorithm are more critical factors for the success of this kind of AIGC narrative game platform. Hidden Door is not the forerunner of this track. As early as 2019, a similar product AI Dungeon appeared. However, due to the limitations of AI technology, AI Dungeon has already experienced risks such as uncontrollable AIGC content and insufficient security.
Although the technology is not mature enough before, AIGC has brought new mechanisms and experiences to the interactive narration of the game, and helped the game narration, which used to emphasize single-player experience, to be more closely combined with social play, thus giving birth to a new business model, thus attracting companies such as Hidden Door to explore and invest in this direction.
Hidden Door：
AIGC narrative game platform to create multi-person creation and social space
Founded in 2020, Hidden Door is a graphical multiplayer game platform, which uses AI to help players build a complete game narrative. Players only need to give a general world view framework and story outline, and then AI can complete the filling of NPC, items and other content.
The platform can store the world and stories built by players and AI, and players can play the roles in these stories, have a 2D virtual image, and manipulate the characters to travel and take risks in the world by inputting natural language commands.
The platform will be tested this year, but its game threshold is not high, and the natural language texts given to AI are only simple sentences. The first users are aimed at children between 9 and 12 years old.
Hilary Mason, founder of Hidden Door, believes thatDuring the epidemic, "desktop role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons are more popular than ever, and storytelling has become a popular social activity in games such as Roblox and Minecraft."
At the same time, in the process of accompanying children to tell stories during the epidemic, she found that narration was a challenge for ordinary people. Hilary Mason was inspired by this and chose to use AI to help players to build more interesting game narratives.
Hilary Mason believes that the value of introducing AI is mainly reflected in the release of narrative creativity of players. "Players may be inspired by an idea, but they will find that it takes a lot of work to create stories around it."
In order to better understand the Hidden Door product, Hilary Mason compares the game experience of this product with the board game Dungeons and Dragons.The role of AI in the game is similar to that of DM(Dungeon Master) in Dungeon and Dungeon.
Dungeons and Dragons is a classic desktop role-playing game, which is regarded as the predecessor of electronic role-playing games. With a complete set of rules of the game, players play the role of adventurers to participate in the game, relying on paper and pen to record the values and equipment props of the role, telling the players their actions in oral language, and then deciding whether the action is successful by rolling the dice.
Because each game of Dungeons and Dragons is based on the existing complete world view and story, and the behavior of the characters is completely based on the player’s dictation, the game has a high degree of freedom, and the role of DM is to respond to the player’s behavior according to the rules of the game and the story.
For example, before cleaning up the monsters outside the city in the main plot, the player chooses to ask the help of the Lord in the city, while DM will play the role of the Lord, and decide to give the player more or less assistance according to whether the Lord is stingy in setting.
Back on the Hidden Door, AI plays the role of an auxiliary builder of plot and world view, and at the same time replaces the original role of DM, which can help players to free themselves from complex creation and rules and fully devote themselves to the game.
In other words, the creativity of the story comes from people, and AI is more like a helper. When the player is exploring the game, AI is responsible for perfecting the overall story structure, filling in the gaps in the world view and describing the details of the story. When players lack the ability of narrative rhythm, story tension and conflict management, they can also be supplemented by AI.
However, this also means that products like Hidden Door have high requirements for AI’s natural language ability and data processing ability.
Hilary Mason is a data scientist herself. She founded Fast Forward Labs, an AI research company. The company’s first research was about natural language generation. Matt Brandwein, another founder of the company, was the product leader of Cloudera, a data platform company, providing AI and data service support for companies such as eBay and Nokia.
AIGC narrative game platform technology and mode iteration direction;
More controllable and visual
In fact, Hidden Door can be regarded as the second generation AI narrative game platform, and a similar product named AI Dungeon appeared in 2019.
AI Dungeon is developed by Latitude, a startup company, and is based on the rules of the game similar to Dungeons and Dragons, but it is different from Hidden Door in the game mode. If Hidden Door is an "expansion" in the player’s mind, then AI Dungeon is a "continuation".
AI Dungeon is like a novel written by a player and AI. In the game, there are only words without any graphics. The player is responsible for inputting simple sentences to control the actions and dialogues of the characters, while AI is responsible for the subsequent plot development of the player’s text.
AI Dungeon’s text generation technology is completely based on the GPT model released by OpenAI. AI Dungeon attracted more than 100,000 players within a few months after the official version was launched in December 2019. To this end, OpenAI also provided a professional version for Latitude, and promoted it as a successful product of commercialization of GPT model.
GPT model has now developed to GPT-3, which has become an important technology of AI narration in many games. In the VR game "Modbox", there is already a test version that applies GPT-3 to NPC characters and can have a simple conversation with players.
However, this technology has not been installed in Modbox, because OpenAI has not been authorized to open GPT-3 in the game field on a large scale. One of the important reasons behind it is that GPT-3 still has certain limitations, and some disadvantages have been highlighted on AI Dungeon.
First, it is uncontrollable.. As an AI text generation technology, GPT-3 does not have a sense of morality, and there is no criterion for judging whether the generated text is suitable for players of all ages. In addition, under the game mode of AI Dungeon’s "continuation writing", AI can easily produce illegal and pornographic content under the deliberate guidance of players. This problem began to spread on a large scale in 2021 and caused a bad influence on AI Dungeon.
Second, there are stereotypes.The machine learning of GPT-3 is completely based on the information of the whole Internet, and is influenced by various stereotypes on the Internet. This problem of GPT-3 was publicly discussed at a seminar held by researchers from OpenAI and Stanford University in 2020, but no good solution has been found yet.
In order to solve the above two problems, AI Dungeon had to launch a new filtering system in May, 2021, but the mechanism of this system was extremely rude. In order to prevent child pornography, even the word "five years old" was once not allowed to appear in the game. Moreover, this system has also been pointed out that there is a problem of reading the information of the player’s equipment, and there is a risk of information leakage.
Hidden Door realized the limitations of GPT-3 model, and even published a blog post in official website to point out the problems of GPT-3.On the basis of the first generation AI narrative game platform AI Dungeon, we choose to iterate in the directions of natural language generation technology, game mode and game graphics.
First of all, based on the natural language generation technology accumulated by Hilary Mason in Fast Forward Labs, Hidden Door has developed a new narrative game engine, has an independent machine learning training model, and has set a safer content production standard.
Secondly, it is also the difference of the game mode mentioned above. Hidden Door expands according to the outline provided by the player, which is more controllable.
Finally, AI Dungeon is the expression form of pure words, while Hidden Door introduces the visualization form of 2D graphics generated by AI, which is more intuitive in presentation form.
How AIGC Remodels Interactive Narrative Games
Experience and business model
In recent years, the game has become an important scene where the concept of AIGC has landed, and it covers many dimensions from game development to player play.
Among them, from the current development stage of AI technology, AIGC is closely related to game narrative. It is mainly embodied in shaping a brand-new narrative experience in traditional 3A games, but when it falls into a broader category of interactive narrative, it will bring new inspiration to this category to open up social gameplay and business models.
In fact, as the open world becomes more and more complex, there may actually be thousands of NPCs in a world, but most of them are ordinary passers-by. Some games are trying to make every NPC play a role in the game narrative, and choose to introduce AIGC for this purpose, so as to make the stories of these NPCs intertwined.
For example, in 2021, Ubisoft released Watchdog: Legion, which is a game without a protagonist. Players can play any NPC in the game. Ubisoft, through the self-developed aLiVE group AI system, gives NPC in every city independent personality, ability, life, story and interpersonal relationship, and each NPC has high interactivity and coherence.
You saved an NPC’s life one day, and then that NPC’s friend may give you a helping hand. You see a pickpocket NPC at the gate of the subway station. After a while, you may see him running away after the police. Thanks to the diversity of NPC AI, each player often has a unique game narrative experience in Watchdog: Legion.
From the point of view that the interactive narrative of the game extends to the whole interactive narrative category, the emergence of AIGC narrative game platforms such as AI Dungeon and Hidden Door has actually opened up more social gameplay and business models for interactive narrative games.
Interactive narrative games have accumulated in the European and American markets for many years, especially in the European and American mobile game market, there have been head products such as Episode》《Choice that have developed for many years and have a stable audience. Among them, "Episode" has the best commercial performance and is stable in the top 60 of the best-selling list of iOS games in the United States. This category of track has even attracted China manufacturers to go to sea, such as "Chapters" launched by Chinese online, which ranks among the top 200 best-selling products.
Episode, as a representative old-fashioned product, provides a game platform for players to play and create interactive stories, mainly for young female users. The platform now has 150,000 stories, totaling more than 10 billion story views. In Episode, the story is mainly presented in the form of role dialogue, supplemented by simple CG and animation. Players can connect different stories by choosing different answers in each conversation.
However, the limitations of Episode are becoming more and more obvious. Its gameplay is completely a single story experience, and its social attributes are relatively weak. Players use the built-in UGC creation tools to share their own stories or discuss them on the built-in social network. In terms of business model, Episode takes the common form of free and in-house purchase. Players need to wait for several hours to unlock new chapters, otherwise they need to spend money to unlock them directly. In addition, special options and story lines in some stories also need to spend money to unlock them.
Products such as AI Dungeon have explored some new paths in interactivity, sociality and business model because of the addition of AI technology.
For example, in games such as Episode, the interactivity is reflected in the fact that players can enter different story branches according to different choices, but on the whole, the story is linear and fixed, which cannot support multi-person participation.
And "AI Dugeon" has developed an AI model to deal with multiple players through AI technology, which can give feedback on the interaction of different players. In the business model, AI Dungeon provides more advanced AI models as value-added services to players, such as smarter monster AI models. In the traditional RPG game, Krypton’s pet has a numerical advantage over the free player’s pet, but in AI Dungeon, it is characterized by higher intelligence and stronger interaction.
Of course, due to the immaturity of AI technology, players of "AI Dugeon" need to interact with AI in turn, which greatly slows down the overall game rhythm, and when there are too many people, data confusion often occurs, resulting in poor experience.
Therefore, it can be said that at present, the experience upper limit of this kind of AIGC narrative game platform is mainly determined by the AI technology level, and the more preferred productization idea can make up for the experience to some extent, which is also the exploration direction and operational space of Hidden Door as a new generation product.
