My personal fun research on capabilities of ChatGPT and GPT models for gaming
I strongly believe that we can expect some revolution on Non Playable Characters and overall in gaming industry with these models.
I'm calling it right now Neural Generated Stories or Neural Playable Characters

You can also just run your own instance of this
Fill .env file with
APIKEY=xxx
from OpenAI API keys page
and execute
docker compose up -d
Your instance will show up on localhost:80
Make a little Proof of Concept to use ChatGPT in order to create a "framework" for creating a text based games in different worlds with basic constraints.
With filling up some basic parameters framework should be able to generate a Game which player can play with.
Architecture is very easy - main component is Storyteller which is responsible for starting a story, continuing a conversation and parametrize initial prompt.
Model is responsible for continuing a story based on previous conversation.
Memory is responsible for saving a retrieving conversations.
Currently Storyteller is just a seed for a conversation - it just parametrizes a initial prompt, and game goes unmanaged from that one.
In future versions Storyteller could be more specific - evil / good / random / funny / fluffy.
Version 0 includes
- Working API
- Working library https://pypi.org/project/chatgpt-gaming-framework/
- Working simple GUI
- Storyteller https://github.com/Razikus/chatgpt-gaming-framework/blob/master/library/chatgpt_gaming_framework/storyteller/storyteller.py
- Async GPT stream model https://github.com/Razikus/chatgpt-gaming-framework/blob/master/library/chatgpt_gaming_framework/models/chatgptmodel.py
- Memory https://github.com/Razikus/chatgpt-gaming-framework/blob/master/library/chatgpt_gaming_framework/memory/redismemory.py
- Example usage https://github.com/Razikus/chatgpt-gaming-framework/blob/master/gamesapi/src/main.py#L110
- Game will crash in longer run - ChatGPT supports up to X tokens
- Sometimes choosing 1) 2) or 3) doesn't really trigger an action
- Sometimes
Stage 1 - multiple dimension world.
- Possibility to introduce NPCs into the game (Leo, bartendeer, very fat and brave). NPCs should have a summary knowledge from other parts of the world.
- Ability to switch between NPCs during chat (go to tavern talk to Leo)
- Events based on conditions (Player asked Leo to go with him, does it happen? Yes -> burn tavern)
- Make summary of conversation during a game because of current ChatGPT constraints (or change model)
- Introduce new models or replace ChatGPT with something that can be hosted to overcome the limits
- Move and test with GPT-4
Stage 2 - inventory and skills
- Possibility to introduce basic inventory to the game and constraints
- Basic skills - you have to learn swimming in order to swim
Stage 3 - voice
- Possibility to generate voice to NPCs
- Possibility to steer the game with the voice
