Tom Paton is programming his NPC models to be in survival mode.
A visual effects producer famous for his AI-powered work through AiMation Studios debuted a new reality show, Non Player Combat, on December 8th.
A new limited series from AiMation Studios features six AI contestants who believe they are real, competing for a prize of 500,000 coins on a deserted island. Once the competition begins, they’re given weapons to fight off dangers like bears and snakes, and eventually, to eliminate each other.
According to a press release reported by People, the creator of Non Player Combat believes the show feels more authentic than typical reality TV because the contestants aren’t acting for the cameras. He envisions a future where characters from TV and movies continue to live out their stories in real time.
The show’s first episode introduces the six people competing: Travis Drake, a former Navy Seal; Micah Grey, a wilderness coach; Madison Cross, an influencer; Kai Chen, a Special Forces trainer; Ed Harrington, a former Army veteran; and Eliza Cole, who has a criminal past.
The characters were created using AiMation’s Omnigen tool, which generates their appearances, and other technology that develops their personalities. Their backstories are central to the show’s competition.
Tom told People magazine that connecting with the actors is key. He believes that if the audience doesn’t genuinely care about the characters, the whole project falls flat.
Even though the players are controlled by artificial intelligence, the creators at AiMation Studios wanted their desire to win to feel genuine. To achieve this, they don’t predetermine the results of any battles – the players themselves make all the decisions.
According to a recent interview with Forbes, every character in the game has a detailed history—hundreds of pages worth—covering their upbringing, past experiences (including trauma and love), and even their beliefs and any criminal activity. This background shapes how they act. The AI uses this information to become the character. The developers emphasize they didn’t control the story’s outcome—who won or died—but instead focused on building realistic and complex character motivations.
