Well, the people at Evodant think the solution is simpler than we think. How in the hell will Toska accomplish all this?! How exactly does one create an AI system that can invent an entire world and make it believable? Generally these kind of AI created stories fall hard into the uncanny valley. All the NPCs in the game will have real behaviors as well, since they will have dynamic goals that will change as their world changes. Best case scenario, your enemy in Gyre will be the moralistic opposite of you, having learned to be who they are by not doing what you do. Toska will populate the characteristics of the villain as you make your own choices. In much of a similar fashion, the game’s main villain will essentially be an empty cup in the beginning. These won’t be crucial for long into your gameplay though since Gyre will constantly evolve to make the story for you. At the start of Gyre there will be 2,000 white-label story points that Toska will use to create players’ opening scenario. These observation and execution phases will build up Toska’s confidence. It will create test scenarios to observe players and use the results to plan future ones. Toska will build a character sheet for you based on your choices.
Toska is a complex system of course, but what it essentially should be in the case of Gyre: Maelstrom, is a dungeon master.
The creators at Evodant Interactive have tons of psychology knowledge under their belts as well, which put them in a unique position to create an engine like this. Toska was created thanks to almost a decade of research into artificial intelligence. The word the engine is named for is Russian and while it doesn’t have a direct translation to English, it essentially means “beautiful bittersweetness.” With a name like that, and the promises of its creator, Toska certainly has a lot to live up to! It isn’t without experience to back it up though. Now I’d love to dig deeper into Toska with you.
#GYRE MAELSTROM TRAILER FULL#
The Early Access version of the game will only include the industrial sector of the city, but Gyre is aiming for around 140 hours of gameplay in the full release.
There will be seven distinct districts in the city, all brought alive by eight million NPCs. That’s no small feat either since the location of Gyre is planned to be about the size of Seoul, Korea. The city Gyre takes place in will also evolve depending on players’ choices. Gyre promises that thanks to Toska, no one’s playthroughs will be the same since the narrative is procedurally generated. This is of course thanks to the Toska Engine. If you’d rather not play with weapons, and avoid combat altogether, you can do that too.
#GYRE MAELSTROM TRAILER UPGRADE#
There will also be an intense crafting system that will allow players to upgrade their body parts, equipment, and weapons. There are three classes of characters you can play, with nine different skill trees you can unlock no matter the class choice. But on the inside, they’re essentially human.
#GYRE MAELSTROM TRAILER ANDROID#
Characters are androids with human consciousness.” So what does that mean practically? Well, you play as an android and all of the other characters you will meet and interact with will also be androids. Straight from the Steam Greenlight page, Gyre is, “a steampunk-themed action RPG based on a mechanical post-futuristic dystopia stemming from alt-history events of the mid-1800s. Before we get into the Toska Engine, I’d like to first tell you a little bit more about Gyre: Maelstrom.
