A second-rack bagel that's nearly first-rack. Tasty stuff.
Summary
Epic Games has introduced a new 'conversations' tool for Fortnite creators that allows them to build AI-powered characters capable of unscripted dialogue and interactions. The tool transforms NPCs into AI characters that can engage in natural conversations with players, serving roles like quest givers or narrators. This follows Epic's previous experimentation with AI-powered characters like Darth Vader in Fortnite. The system uses simple prompts to define character personalities and behaviors, enabling more dynamic and interactive gameplay experiences.
