Insight-driven games firm Skillprint has now launched its AI platform AdaptivePlay in private beta for game developers. Game devs can access the platform via an API and SDK. AdaptivePlay offers personalised results for players by analysing their personality, cognitive skills and in-game performance. The company suggests the result is higher levels of player engagement and fulfilment.
AdaptivePlay personalises game recommendations to suit a player’s personality, cognitive skills and motivations. Additionally, the AI platform allows game developers to tailor the game experiences for individual players in real-time.
“With AdaptivePlay, developers can leverage their gameplay data to personalise gameplay and recommendations. We believe this will drive innovation in game design and increase player engagement and retention,” says Chethan Ramachandran, CEO of Skillprint. “At the same time, we’re also giving players insights into their minds – how they think and act, and how they might develop their talents to achieve their life goals, including their desired mood, relationships, careers, and other pursuits.”
While Skillprint doesn’t state this as its goal, its AI platform could allow game developers to make their titles more accessible to persons with intellectual disabilities. This is particularly exciting, considering research shows that video games and VR can act as beneficial therapies for persons with ADHD and autism. Similarly, PlayStation is currently working on Project Leonardo, a highly customisable controller for persons with disabilities.
Game Devs Can Sign Up For AdaptivePlay’s Beta Now
Skillprint is currently accepting applications for the private beta and is now focusing on mobile games. However, the company plans to expand AdaptivePlay to other platforms at a later date. Game developers can sign up for the private beta on the Skillprint website.
AdaptivePlay aims to prevent player frustration by allowing developers to optimise gameplay for individual players. The platform also aims to help players avoid boredom. Eventually, the AI platform will enable developers to balance the game’s difficulty, rewards and progression in real-time, based on the player’s abilities and behaviours. Likewise, AdaptivePlay will infer whether a player aims to relax, explore or challenge themselves and change gameplay accordingly.
