I was wondering If I can put fake players in my lobby? Just for clarity this isn’t to make the game “fuller” than what it really is. The actual game will heavily involve fake player’s so this is simply to fit the theme and add a fun twist to your average horror game lobby.
All the fake player’s would be taken from the user’s friend list / selected individually from me. And all of them are different for each client.
I just got a little worried as I made them not to be treated like NPC’s but to be treated like a player (Added to the player list, be able to talk in chat / bubble chat, etc) . Beside’s that quick post thank’s everyone who just clarified it for me
Theres a game in specific that uses really accurate fake players, as in NPCs which mimic real players like almost 1:1 its called The Waiting Game pretty sure.
I actually remember playing this game (It’s really interesting)
I don’t know how they programmed they AI but from the bit of research I’ve done it look’s like they save a set paths from the player and replay it using the AI (I think ).
I wish I could take reference of them but if I’m correct the AI in their game is pretty different to mine. Since mine just primarily uses pathfinding service / modifiers to appear like normal players.
