CAMPFIRE COZY FRIENDS IS LIKE ANIMAL CROSSING WITH AI-POWERED UNRESTRICTED NPC
DIALOGUES

Campfire Cozy Friends is an interesting new cozy RPG announced yesterday by the
namesake independent developer Campfire. The team, composed of just five people,
has designed the game around its Sprites toolkit, which they say is an
'All-in-one AI Engine for Games and Entertainment Apps.'

Thanks to this AI Engine, Campfire Cozy Friends will feature unrestricted
dialogues that mirror real-world conversations, allowing players to shape the
story and make real connections. According to the studio, this will result in a
satisfying social sandbox filled with memorable personal moments.

PARTNERSHIPS WITH SECOND LIFE AND STORMGATE

Siamak Freydoonnejad, Co-Founder of Campfire, said in a statement:

It all started with an idea from a game jam: what if players could form genuine
friendships with NPCs, go completely off-script, and rely on their actual
personality to drive gameplay? Campfire Cozy Friends and our Sprites toolset
represent this vision – ethical AI applications that deliver richer immersive
simulations for players and amplify human creativity for developers rather than
replace jobs.







In the game, which has been described as Animal Crossing with AI NPCs, players
step into the shoes of a concierge with the goal of transforming the tropical
Camp Island into a five-star tourist destination. They will repair and restore
the island alongside a cast of friendly animal residents who weave the fabric of
island life. Make friends with the locals, spark open-ended conversations, and
engage in many other charming interactions.

It's also possible to build houses, wear flower crowns, and wear colorful
clothes alongside an ensemble of adorable animals, such as Angelina Arcadia,
Fred Flyfish, or Mayor Thompson alongside 26 unlockable characters. Thanks to
the AI Engine, you can engage in unlimited conversations with the villagers as
you explore every topic imaginable - from their backstories to their daily lives
to the far reaches of your imagination. The developers have planned a wealth of
new content featuring additional main storylines, side quests, themes, and more.
Moreover, online multiplayer is supported.



Campfire Cozy Friends will be a free-to-play game when it launches on PC
(including Steam), Mac, iOS, and Android. However, those who wish to play right
away can invest in a Founder's Pack.
