Mechanics

Eternl World's design combines the core mechanics of traditional games with Web3-native and AI-native elements.

1. Eternl World and Web3

Eternl World is a blockchain-based open world collaboratively created and managed by players and AI souls. The primary function of blockchain technology is to provide players with true ownership and decentralized governance. With blockchain technology, key elements like AI souls, social connections, and game assets are stored in a distributed manner, ensuring players' full autonomy over their content.

• Co-creation and Governance: Players can easily engage in co-creation with AIGC tools and participate in collective decision-making within a blockchain governance framework. Voting systems and smart contracts are implemented to ensure community autonomy.

• Cross-Platform Interoperability: Players’ memories and connections can smoothly transfer between different parallel worlds and third-party platform games, enabling true interoperability.

• Economic Ecosystem: In-game assets and earnings flow through a blockchain-based economic system, allowing players to be rewarded for their contributions and creations. All transactions and resource allocations are transparently managed on the blockchain.

Web3 brings decentralized governance and cross-platform interoperability to Eternl, granting players’ sustained influence and tangible rewards in this ever-evolving world.

1. Eternl World and AI

AI plays three key roles in Eternl: First, AI souls offers friendship and companionship to players, enhancing immersion through emotional connections. Second, AI's co-creation abilities simplify traditional hardcore building gameplay, lowering the barriers to creation while enhancing enriching content. Lastly, the AI-native gameplay integrates AI as part of the game's key mechanics rather than a supportive tool. With these innovations, AI has become a proactive co-creator of the world, delivering a truly AI-native gaming experience.

Players collaborate with AI souls as equals to shape the town while AI souls provide companionship across multiple games

Every game in Eternl World is closely intertwined with the world's dynamic development. Human-AI interaction will not only affect immediate outcomes but also leave lasting impacts on the entire world through AI's memory and decision systems.The AI games in Eternal World are divided into following categories:

a. Social Games with Heavy Language-Dependent on AI

"Mafia" is a social deduction game where players use strategy to identify the werewolf and protect the villagers through communication.

• AI Interaction: Players can play Mafia with AI characters that have different behaviors and dialogue styles, adding unpredictability and complexity to the gameplay. AI will learn persuasion, deception, and adapts its strategy based on player actions, even imitating their behavior in different rounds, deepening the deduction process and encourage replayability.

• Other Examples: "Blood on the Clocktower" - partnered with the official team to create an AI-native version where each AI character plays its unique role for more intricate and captivating gameplay.

• Additional Examples: "Murder Mystery" "Among Us"

Players engage in Mafia with AI friends, each featuring unique behavioral patterns and dialogue styles

b. Games with Moderate Language-Dependent on AI

"Dungeons & Dragons" is a classic TRPG where the Dungeon Master (DM) acts as the arbiter and storyteller, guiding players through problem-solving, combat, and exploration.

• AI Collaboration:

  • AI as DM: Players team up with AI on dungeon adventures, with AI DM generating new quests and enemy behavior based on players' choices.

  • Players as DM: The player takes charge of the narrative while AI start their adventure.

• World Integration: The world's residents will vote on the setting for the next game (e.g., magical or seafaring world).

• Presentation: The first version will be text-based, and future iterations will incorporate visuals and immersive landscapes as AI tech advances.

• Other Examples: "Catan"

c. Casual Party Game with Light Language-Dependent on AI

For players seeking lighter experiences, Eternl offers a range of casual games that are easy to pick up, providing quick entertainment while fostering engaging interactions with AI.

• Board/ Card Games: Players need to compete against AI with varying play styles, whether conservative or aggressive. As the game progresses, the AI will become a strong competitor, adjusting its tactics based on the players' actions.

  • Examples: "Jungle Chess" "Battleship" "Chess" "Go" "Mahjong"

• Puzzle Games: AI can generate puzzles or assist players by offering hints and collaborating to solve complex challenges.

  • Examples: "Guess Who?" "Overcooked"

d. 3rd-Party Popular Game with Light Language-Dependent on AI

"PUBG" is a battle royale-style shooting game where players must eliminate all other opponents while avoiding being trapped outside a shrinking "safe area", with the winner being the last player or team alive. In AI mode, AI can act as teammates, providing tactical advice and in-game support .

• Human-AI Teaming: Players can choose AI with different specializations like sniping, assault or support that best suites their needs to form squads. AI teammates will provide real-time communication and adapt their tactics according to the situations, strategically supporting the team in securing victories during intense matches.

• Other Examples: "Call of Duty" "Apex Legends" "NBA 2K19"
