Ep.61: Behind ByteDance's First AI Game, What Interesting Experiments Were Tried?

This podcast episode features producer Xinjie discussing Bu Wen Fanchen, a cultivation game built with AI video. The AI NPC chat meant to supplement interaction became a major source of praise after launch, with players trying to persuade characters, taunt NPCs after stealing, or bring ordinary mortals along in cultivation. The episode also covers turning linear video into a playable RPG, using AI and agents for large-scale content production, and pricing at "the price of a cup of milk tea" with a buy-to-play model.
