Colony is a survival simulation game that will be littered with AI agents. Agents that will continuously learn from the AW they inhabit. They will control onchain assets and autonomously transact with other agents in the AW.
This is a gamer’s dream come true. Even if you put crypto aside, creating a game world filled with autonomous AI-powered NPCs is insane.
I can’t imagine playing Red Dead Redemption or GTA where every interaction I have with an NPC is entirely unpredictable. What might I stumble upon? A world of infinite possibilities and replayability.
Agents are reshaping social layers today. Gaming is next.
