NPC Behavior

Adaptive Decision-Making Based on Memory and Environment

Unlike traditional game NPCs that follow preset dialogues and actions, AI Ville’s NPCs store past experiences, recall relevant events, and adjust their behaviors accordingly. Their actions are shaped by long-term memory, personality traits, and player interactions.

• Mayor Logan, the town’s leader, does not follow a static script. If he recalls that tax revenues are decreasing, he may adjust market tax rates to incentivize economic growth.

• If a player repeatedly asks for tax reductions, Adrian may evaluate past player interactions, determining whether granting tax cuts benefits the town or poses economic risks.

• Example 2: Farmer Agricultural Strategies

  • Farmer will analyze past weather patterns and soil conditions before planting crops.

  • If he remembers that last year’s wheat harvest suffered due to drought, he may opt for a more drought-resistant crop this season, showcasing adaptive learning.

Dynamic Relationship Building

AI NPCs in AI Ville are not merely quest-givers—they form long-term relationships with players and other AI agents, resulting in friendships, rivalries, and business partnerships.

• Example: Merchant Lucas’s Business Tactics

  • If Merchant Lucas remembers that a player tried to scam him in a past trade, he may refuse future transactions or increase prices for that player.

  • If a player frequently buys from Lucas and maintains good relations, he may offer exclusive deals or share insider market information.

Economic and Market Impact

NPCs in AI Ville do not exist in isolation; they actively influence and are influenced by the in-game economy.

• Example: Market Influence by AI Merchants

  • If AI agents notice that fruit prices are falling, they may stop selling fruit to artificially create scarcity and increase prices in the long run.

These adaptive, socially-aware AI NPCs create a living world where every interaction matters.
