PLAYA3ULL GAMES launches new AI division to supercharge game development

PLAYA3ULL GAMES enters a new exciting era by establishing a dedicated Research & Development (R&D) department focused on integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into game development. The technological advancements like NVIDIA’s Generative AI system give endless possibilities for unique interactions between Non-Playable Characters (NPC) and gamers.  A new AI department will work alongside PLAYA3ULL’s game development team and create faster workflows, new revenue sources, and increased utility for the 3ULL coin

 

Read below on how PLAYA3ULL GAMES is pioneering as the world's first blockchain game company at the intersection of Web3, gaming, and AI.

 

Who is PLAYA3ULL GAMES?

 

 

PLAYA3ULL GAMES is a video game company with a 3ullish goal of creating 30 games in 10 years. We build fun, immersive games that take popular genres and add blockchain rewards.  Our first game, NEXUS, was the number one game on the Epic Games Store at launch and recently celebrated its 1-year 3ULLiversary.  With four more games set to go public soon, PLAYA3ULL GAMES is leading the charge on how blockchain game companies must develop.

 

To date, here are some of our greatest achievements:

  • Successful crypto fundraising.

  • Ongoing 3ULL coin distribution and node sales.

  • Distributing 5 billion 3ULL coins annually over 10 years.

  • Established gaming platform.

  • Creating the 3ULL blockchain on the Avalanche subnet.

  • Growing a thriving gaming community with over 70K followers collectively. 

 

Our goal: 30 high-quality PC games and 1 million players in our community.

Continually creating utility for the 3ULL coin is a significant focus. This is why we’re excited to build a dedicated AI department to boost all aspects of our games and ecosystem.

 

Why create an AI division?

 

Why AI

The move to integrate AI comes with several significant benefits. By leveraging AI-driven systems, PLAYA3ULL GAMES aims to reduce development cycles, improve speed by reducing repetitive tasks, and expand our production team’s capabilities. This will also allow the company to maximise its team's potential by focusing our efforts on higher-value tasks. This gives PLAYA3ULL GAMES a competitive edge in the gaming industry, enabling us to stay ahead of technological advancements.

 

The new AI department will hire one C++ programmer and one game art developer.  These hires will have proven skills and experience with released games and work with the game dev team.  They won’t be building games but working with two new AI scientists to research and develop AI tools that will be used to enhance the game development process. Once the game dev team identifies opportunities for integrating AI, they will hand it over to the AI research team to learn how to plug it into the games.  An example of this in development is an NPC merchant owner who can remember who you are and create new generative conversions in DOGS OF WAR. This ensures every gamer has their own unique experience.  

 

The recent introduction of Procedural Content Generation in Unreal Engine (PCG) empowers technical artists, designers, and programmers to rapidly create buildings and gaming worlds. As a result, AI-driven systems are poised to become highly sought-after in the video gaming industry. This demand will open up PLAY3ULL’s next stream of revenue: offering our AI systems as Software as a Service (SaaS).

Introducing the gaming world to our AI systems

Cycle Narrative

 

The expansion into AI means we can monetise the system as a SaaS product to other gaming companies.  Utilising our AI intellectual property (IP) internally first, we will test and make sure they work in our games.  There will be real-world examples in our games for players and companies to see! The best part? Companies wanting to use our AI services can only utilise 3ULL Coin for their respective products.  This further boosts the coin's utility and adds a new income stream for PLAYA3ULL GAMES and the 3ULL coin community.  This initiative pushes us to become technology leaders with industry influence. Attracting businesses, developers, and gamers to our ecosystem.

 

The first cycle narrative for us was the merging of master node owners, 3ULL coin traders, and gamers.  With this new AI division, the focus will shift to the world’s first dedicated blockchain game company that combines game development, blockchain technology, and AI.  There’s no better time to get excited about what’s ahead for PLAYA3ULL GAMES.  Check out the roadmap below.

 

The big roadmap for 2025 and beyond

 

Road Map

 

Q4 2024: Establish the AI research department.

Q1 2025: Begin AI developments.

Q3 2025: Launch AI-enhanced game features.

Q4 2025: Package AI systems into SaaS products.

Q2 2026: Launch the SaaS sales platform.

With this new addition to the PLAYA3ULL Games ecosystem, our team and community will level up and enjoy more video games faster. Are you keen to get involved? We are always looking for the best talent to join PLAYA3ULL GAMES. Reach out here.
