8+ minutes of gameplay of our demo showing a local LLM creating dialogue for both NPCs and the player using Personica AI, our LLM integration plugin for @UnrealEngine, available on @fab #UnrealEngine #gamedev #LLM #CreatedwithFab

@SebAaltonen @natanielruizg What about a version with a local LLM? It'd at least be available to those with the hardware to run it. We created a UE5-based plugin so game devs can set up local and cloud LLM integration. We've had some good results with Gemma 3 4B, a good compromise b/w reasoning and speed.

@natanielruizg The problem is that the AI is actually quite expensive. It generates story and image for every room. Fine for playing it myself. Just a few bucks. But if I allow thousands of people to play with my API keys, it would be quite expensive.

I wrote a AI "text adventure game" (MUD) in the past two weeks. We had a "hackweek" for prototyping AI game play. Story is AI generated text. Text generator is fed the theme and previous rooms and rules for exit generation. It returns a JSON string of exits and their descriptions. Which the game then parses and sends to AI image generator and room graph system. There's also a AI written battle story generator, which gets your inventory as input. AI figures how to use your weapons and consumables. And returns JSON for managing inventory state (broken weapons, consumables, etc).

Along with releasing Personica AI, our @UnrealEngine plugin for LLM inference integration, we have also released a short technical demo showing the local model version. This will come with an LLM server & model which open with the game! #UnrealEngine swamprabbit-labs.itch.io/bruno-the-boun…

Now Available: Personica AI: The Cognitive Engine for NPCs! We are happy to announce the release of v0.9.0 of Personica AI, an Unreal Engine plugin designed to enable developer-controlled LLM integration! #UnrealEngine5 #unrealengine #indiedev #gameai
