## Game Background

In the year 2200, a catastrophic nuclear disaster ravages the world, wiping out 80% of the global population. The surviving remnants of humanity take refuge in the Magnus Province, led by the Nova Force. This is the background for our game, a thrilling adventure set in a world where survival is a daily struggle.

## Development Journey

![Development](/gameclips/0.png)
As newcomers to Godot, we faced a steep learning curve, especially with our semester exams looming in December. Despite the time constraints, we leveraged AI tools to maximize our productivity. We utilized:

- FLUX-dev for image generation
- Elevenlabs for audio generation
- Notebook LM to quickly grasp concepts, even using an 8-hour YouTube video as input
- Suno AI for creating background music
- **AWS Bedrock** for NPC dialogue
- **AWS Q Developer** to help write GDScript code
- **AWS Lambda** to host the ai server for dialogue

### We also incorporated AWS tools, specifically Amazon Q, AWS lambda and Amazon Bedrock, to streamline our development process.

Amazon Q proved invaluable in generating Godot 4 scripts (GDScript), as most LLMs referenced outdated code (Godot 3 GDScript). Amazon Q, however, produced the latest version of GDScript, saving us significant time and effort.

Amazon Lambda was used to create a serverless API that leverages the Bedrock Runtime model to generate human-like text responses to user input prompts, allowing for scalable and cost-effective deployment of AI-powered text generation capabilities.

Amazon Bedrock was used to create engaging NPC conversations using the `mistral.mistral-large-2402-v1:0` model. What sets our NPC conversations apart is that they're not just generic, repetitive phrases. Instead, they:

- Discuss real-world issues: Our NPCs talk about the consequences of war, the importance of renewable energy, and environmental concerns, adding a layer of depth and realism to the game world.
- Reflect the game's storyline: NPCs share stories and insights about the world's history, the nova officers, and the struggles of the surviving population, making the game's narrative more immersive and engaging.
- Provide contextual information: NPCs offer hints and clues about the game's world, helping players navigate the game and uncover its secrets.
- Exhibit emotional intelligence: Our NPCs display emotions and empathy, making their interactions feel more natural and human-like, which enhances the overall gaming experience.

## Additional Features (Planned but Not Implemented)

Due to time constraints, we were unable to implement the following features, which we had planned to include:

- Communication system: enabling players to interact with NPCs across towns through radio communication
- Player cooking and hunger system: adding a survival mechanic to the game
- Trading system: allowing players and NPCs to exchange goods between towns
- More interiors: expanding the game's environments and exploration opportunities
