Future of Game Development and AI
The gaming industry market is growing at an exponential rate. Today, it is worth over a hundred billion dollars with eSports tournaments being the fastest-growing segment. The increase in demand has put the industry at a new intersection where consumers expect more immersive, personalized, and mobile experiences from the brands. Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) have rapidly trickled into the realm of game development, laying down the foundation of mobile game apps. AI (Artificial Intelligence) is now ubiquitous in real-time games and equally significant in game development to attract more customers, develop smarter and interactive games.
Ultimately, game developers aim to design a robust system that understands noise, speech, action, and much more within the game. AI techniques like reinforcement learning and pattern recognition introduce precision and allow developers to tweak the scenarios at the different levels of the game accordingly.
Such techniques are already giving way to interactive games where characters can self-learn and evolve from their action to create a narrative based on the in-game decisions players make. This is revolutionizing survival horror and survival genres.
AI technology is the piece of the puzzle that can deliver a truly realistic gaming experience to gamers. We have seen a tremendous advancement in physics-based simulations, 3D visualization techniques, and much more with the inclusion of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in games.
AR and VR are the two technologies empowering game developers to build visually appealing and interactive games. As a result, the gameplay of these games has evolved too. Gamers expect attractive graphics and interactive environments, so developers must deliver a real-world experience. This is quite a big and complex challenge and AI is key in meeting evolving consumer expectations.
The community of game developers is always looking for innovative cutting-edge technology to enhance their creativity and technical skills. And while they were quick to adopt AI, the notion of AI games is changing quite drastically. Concepts like pathfinding, smarter function-based, rule-based AI, and the inclusion of genetic algorithms are being increasingly incorporated in games.
Another trend driving AI adoption in game development is the rise of the mobile game industry. Mobile gaming is a leading niche and developers have to build more immersive and interactive mobile game applications.
Finally, the human element can be enhanced and altogether replaced by AI. Computers are capable enough to handle all the tasks of human designers and developers effectively. AI can also select the ideal and most suitable mobile game development tools for every task. This allows many game development agencies to reduce workload and work smarter not harder. Smart work will reduce the net cost of the whole game development process.
