How Event[0] Works | Game Maker's Toolkit

9m 20sLänge

Event[0] is perhaps the most innovative game of 2016: a sci-fi adventure game where you chat with an artificial intelligence. In this episode of Game Maker's Toolkit, I break down how Kaizen, the game's chatty AI, works.

I have never heard of that game. Thank you so much for featuring this. It made me really interested in the game.
You sound like Tom Scott
I have this script in gamemaker 8.1 but it is not working can someone
{
globalvar ans1
global.ans1 = get_string('What is the capital of Germany?','capital');
if global.ans1 = Berlin;
{
show_message('The answer ' + global.ans1 + ' is good!');
room_goto_next;
{
else;
{
show_message('The aswer ' + global.ans1 + ' is false.');
room_goto_next;
}
}
Looks like Starship Commander (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRZh7dkB_hs) has a similar take on this kind of thing but is aiming to use natural voice to interact with the computer rather than written commands. Wow it handles the unrecognized or unfamiliar commands will likely be the defining factor that makes a game like this sink or swim.
do a video on furi
I think that you should do an episode on Sara Is Missing.
15 pounds?! That's THIRTY U.S. dollars!
How is that smoke and mirrors, its fully functional and does its purpose, lol
many people who complain about kaizen messing up clearly dont code or develop games. it is incredibly difficult to create something like this to an advanced level. simply making something new is difficult, and not just the idea alone. to the people who are interested in programming and who are curious about creating games, learning the language is the easy part,making it work is what is difficult.
Played it because of this video, beat it very fast - disappointed by how short it was. But cool none the less
I was excited for this game, I played it the day it came out, but it was anything but innovative. It was also a tech demo priced as a full 26$ game. There would be times I'd try typing to Kaizen and while it would occasionally work, most of the time it would just vomit up prescripted dribble to move the story along. Kinda lost the magic and I really don't understand how this can be your favourite game.
Sounds like an Expert System - which is essentially a database of facts the AI knows, exact details varies but some form of tag based lookup is fairly common (although it's not always referred to as tags).

Check out Starship Titanic for one of the oldest games (perhaps even the oldest) with an expert system ai involved - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Titanic

All in all, fairly well done by the looks of it (never played the game), looking through the comments it misunderstands the player fairly often, which is understandable when you consider how expert systems work; try adding a negative or mention something unrelated to your question like "You don't seem very bad, how can I get home?" and watch it try to match those tags to something sensible...
Thank you so much for all of your videos, your analysis and your great ideas!
Can't wait to see you working on thís channel full-time!
I can just imagine a major advancement of this technology, say 50 years from now in games. AI enemies that played almost indistinguishable from human players, being able to converse through your microphone with advanced Speech recognition software and the AI spitting out a response generated from the information you give them, in an artificially generated voice, as used in text to speech devices. They have a database of topics that are known to them, a personality determined by the developers, they learn and remember things you tell them. They dynamically adapt based in the conditions around them, For example, a character that had never killed anyone before breaking down after taking their first life, and your responses determine how they react to the situation.
The idea behind event[0] makes me think of an old flash game called ' a small talk at the edge of beyond" from 2013.
The entirety of the gameplay is talking with a similar AI NPC, but with a bit less ambition.It's a tad more straight forward.
Worth checking out despite that, I'd say.

Tried Event[0] based on this video and was pretty disappointed. Love your work, but I don't think the game deserves the praise you gave it--it's Eliza with a slightly larger database stapled to an uninteresting, predictable mystery.
I'd love to know why studios like this don't get people like you to QA test their game, at least to uncover such flaws like this. I'd love to see a video about development decisions like this, if you get the chance. It's easy to say "ya could've done better" for me, but I feel guilty, because I want to know why they didn't do better. If a PLAYER like myself could see this stuff, why couldn't they?
Does Kaizen speak unix? Should ask it
This conversation system, dispute isn't perfect, should be the future to NPC companions. I wonder if using a cloud system to storage and send to client the answer, could work better.
Although this is interesting, I feel as though this has been already done to some extent with old school RPGs such as ultima online in which there was key-words - just not nearly as complex as this.
