Building the brain of an NPC: the character layer of NPC Builder Forget empty, repetitive NPCs. Welcome to a new era of non-playable characters with NPC Builder’s Character Layer, a tool that redefines NPC creation and drives immersive storytelling in video games. At NPC Builder, we believe that the heart of a memorable video game lies in its characters. That’s why we have developed the Character Layer, an innovative solution that gives your NPCs unprecedented life, depth and complexity. Inspired by best practices and the latest technologies, we invite you on a journey inside this powerful tool. The foundation: Context Layer The Character Layer is based on the Context Layer, already detailed in our article “How to create non-playable characters that look real”. This layer lays the foundation for the world your NPCs will inhabit, defining the history, culture, regions and locations. A rich backdrop that allows the development of complex and believable characters. Defining the identity The creation of an NPC begins with its identity. In NPC Builder, the Character Layer allows you to assign details such as name, role, gender and a detailed description that includes the character’s backstory. This identity is crucial, as it determines how the NPC will present itself in the game and how it will interact with its environment and other characters. Personality: the heart of the NPC Personality is what really brings an NPC to life. Our platform allows you to define aspects such as age, tone of voice and specific personality traits, from humility to arrogance, cruelty to kindness. These traits not only add depth to the character, but also impact the way they interact with the player and other NPCs, creating a dynamic and immersive gameplay experience. Relationships: building the social network Social interaction is fundamental to the authenticity of NPCs. With the Character Layer, you can establish detailed relationships between characters, defining the nature and complexity of these interactions, from family ties to friendships to rivalries. These relationships influence the behavior of NPCs, adding an additional layer of realism and depth to the game’s narrative. Objectives and quests: drivers of action NPCs are not only there to decorate the game world, they also drive the plot and challenge the player. The Character Layer allows you to create quests to provide and their objectives, as well as define an inventory of items that NPCs can offer, search for or trade. This not only motivates the player’s interaction with the NPC, but also adds a layer of complexity and purpose to the NPC’s behavior. The brain behind the NPC The NPC Builder Character Layer not only offers deep customization, but also integrates Generative AI. This technology transforms NPC information into an individual behavioral model, creating a unique “brain” for each character. Generative AI allows NPCs: Have coherent conversations. React naturally to unexpected events. Make decisions and act autonomously. Express emotions and feelings convincingly. The result: Unique interactions with each NPC. Increased replayability and immersion in the game. Memorable characters with complex and realistic behavior. In summary: Breathing NPCs The NPC Builder Character Layer represents a leap forward in video game creation. By providing a full suite of tools to define NPC identity, personality, relationships and goals, along with the integration of AI capabilities, we transform NPCs from simple figures in the background to memorable characters that enrich every aspect of the game experience. We invite you to explore this revolutionary tool and discover how it can transform your video games. With NPC Builder, you’re not just creating characters, you’re bringing stories to life. Welcome to the future of video game storytelling, welcome to the heart of NPC Builder.

How to create non-playable characters that look real? NPC Builder tells you with its revolutionary context layer Non-playable characters (NPCs) are an essential part of any video game. They’re the ones who bring the virtual world to life, interacting with the player and each other. However, creating NPCs that are realistic, authentic, and consistent with their environment is no easy task. It requires a lot of time, effort, and creativity on the part of developers. That’s why NPC Builder has created an innovative solution that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize NPC creation. In this article we will explain how the character context layer works, and how NPC Builder uses it to create incredibly realistic and contextually aware NPCs. But first, we invite you to read our previous article, where we tell you how NPC Builder works by unleashing the power of AI. How does the Character Context Layer work? The Character Context Layer is a detailed and well-structured process that is based on four main levels: Games: The first level is the game, where the unique project is managed and a centralized ecosystem is established. Here, each game is treated as an individual entity, ensuring that NPCs are specific and relevant to their genre, style, and setting. Worlds: The second level is the world, where the localized universe for the game is created. Here, the world’s history is imagined and developed, infusing it with unique characteristics that will be reflected in the NPCs. For example, the level of technology, magic, politics, religion, etc. that exists in the world can be defined. Regions: The third level is the regions, where the zones within the world are molded and defined. Here, the regional histories and specific cultures for each region are established, ensuring that NPCs interact in a coherent way with their environment. For example, the climate, geography, economy, society, language, etc. that characterizes each region can be determined. Locations: The fourth element is the locations, where it becomes even more granular. Here, each location within a region has its own brand and history, which allows NPCs to have specific behaviors and responses based on their immediate location. For example, the type, name, purpose, design, etc. of each location can be defined. How does NPC Builder use the Character Context Layer to create realistic NPCs? Through these four levels, NPC Builder’s Context Layer synthesizes all of the rich and detailed information to create incredibly realistic and contextually aware NPCs. Personality: An NPC’s personality, such as their behavior, motivations, and relationships, is defined by the developer in the character properties layer. Reactions: An NPC’s reactions to different situations and events are also generated dinamically, but are adapted to the context they are in. What benefits does NPC Builder’s Context Layer offer? NPC Builder’s Context Layer offers a number of benefits for video game developers, including: Greater realism and authenticity: NPCs created with NPC Builder’s Context Layer are much more realistic and authentic than those created manually. This is because the Context Layer takes into account all of the factors that influence an NPC’s behavior, from their environment to their history. Time and resource savings: NPC Builder’s Context Layer automates much of the NPC creation process, allowing developers to save time and resources. Creation of more vibrant and dynamic virtual worlds: NPCs created with NPC Builder’s Context Layer help create more vibrant and dynamic virtual worlds. This is because NPCs interact in a coherent way with their environment and with other characters. Conclusions NPC Builder’s Context Layer is a revolutionary innovation that transforms NPC creation in video games. With NPC Builder, developers can generate NPCs with an unprecedented level of realism and authenticity, saving time, money, and resources. NPC Builder is the ultimate tool for creating vibrant and dynamic virtual worlds. To learn more about how the character’s brain is created, stay updated!
