Intergalactic To Use AI For NPC Dialogue, Reveals Naughty Dog Job Listing

Expert Verified By

Intergalactic Seems To Be Introducing Huge Changes To Naughty Dog Game Design!

Story Highlight
  • Naughty Dog is currently moving full speed ahead with Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
  • We found a job listing that shows the team is hiring a Senior Dialogue Designer to implement NPC AI-driven dialogue in the game.
  • Studio head Neil Druckmann also teased plans to integrate AI into game development in the past.

Naughty Dog’s next big game was officially revealed last year. Dubbed Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, this title promises an ambitious experience unlike anything the team has produced so far.

Although official details regarding the game remain slim for now, a developer profile previously hinted at the existence of RPG progression systems in the title. We have also spotted a new job listing for a Senior Dialogue Designer, which suggests Naughty Dog intends to use AI for NPC dialogue in the game.

Why it matters: Artificial intelligence is currently a major topic of discussion in the industry and is expected to become a crucial tool for developers moving forward.

AI-Driven Dialogue Would Be A Huge Deal For Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

According to the “What You Will Do” section of the job listing, the Senior Dialogue Designer will work on dialogue for several parts of the game, including gameplay scenarios and in-game cinematics.

The same section also mentions that the designer will work on “NPC AI-driven dialogue systems,” which is rather interesting, considering Naughty Dog’s history of carefully crafted dialogue in the past.

Implementing NPC AI-Driven Dialogue Systems.

Because Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is expected to be more open than past titles from the studio, this job listing may be hinting at the existence of potential dialogue trees for the game.

This may be why the studio has opted to integrate AI into the dialogue design process. Interestingly, studio chief Neil Druckmann has previously praised AI, stating that it will revolutionise game development by reducing costs and technical hurdles.

Perhaps the job listing is part of larger efforts at Naughty Dog to embrace AI and integrate it effectively into the studio’s workflow.

As for what this AI-driven system could look like, Nvidia’s AI NPCs showed how the technology could positively impact future games. Perhaps Naughty Dog is aiming for similar systems, allowing NPCs to offer appropriate responses based on different situations and contexts.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is currently one of the two major titles in development at Naughty Dog. If AI-driven dialogue is successfully implemented in this game, the studio might pursue similar systems for the second project.

What do you think about this job listing and its requirements? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
