Chatbot-Enhanced Non-Player Characters Bridging Game AI and Conversational Systems

Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Non-player characters (NPCs) play a crucial role in creating engaging and immersive experiences in role playing games (RPGs). Traditional NPC interactions often rely on scripted dialogues, which can limit their ability to adapt dynamically to player input. This study presents a novel framework that enhances NPC interactions by integrating advanced conversational systems. Utilizing Open AI’s natural language processing capabilities, RPG Maker MZ as the game development platform, and JavaScript for customization, the framework introduces context-aware dialogues that respond intelligently to player queries and actions. By bridging the gap between game AI and conversational systems, this approach enables more lifelike and meaningful NPC behavior. Experimental results indicate that the proposed system significantly improves the narrative depth and overall player experience. These findings demonstrate the potential of combining AI-driven chatbots with game development tools to redefine the role of NPCs in modern gaming.
