Microsoft has introduced a new AI tool called Muse, designed to speed up the game development process. This model is the first generative AI system capable of mimicking the gaming world and player actions. According to an article published in Nature, Muse is based on a system called WHAM (World and Human Action Model). So, how does this system work? Details are in our news…
Microsoft Supports Game Developers with AI: Muse Introduced!
First, it’s important to note that Muse was developed in collaboration with the Ninja Theory team from Xbox Game Studios and is currently being trained using data from Xbox’s Bleeding Edge game. The WHAM-1.6B model has been trained on over one billion game images and control movements. In other words, it’s based on a data set equivalent to seven years of non-stop gameplay by a human.
Game developers can use Muse in an interesting way. They can upload a screenshot from a game to have the AI generate what future scenes should look like. Additionally, when developers guide characters with an Xbox controller, Muse can track these actions to create dynamic game worlds.
One of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Bybit, has been hacked. A total of $1.4 billion worth of cryptocurrency has been stolen.
Microsoft also announced that Muse will be shared as open-source, and the WHAM demo will be made available to developers. This means that both independent studios and large companies can leverage the generative AI technology of Muse to accelerate their game development processes.
So, what do you think about this tool? How might integrating this new system into game design impact the creative process? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below…
