Key components for creating believable NPCs

Personality Design

Define unique character traits and behaviors that make your NPCs feel distinct and memorable.
Dynamic Context

Keep your NPCs aware of their surroundings and current situation for more meaningful interactions.
Memory Systems

Enable NPCs to remember past interactions and maintain consistent relationships with players.
Natural Dialogue

Create engaging conversations that adapt to the player's choices and NPC's personality.

Designing NPC Personalities

The key to creating believable NPCs is giving them distinct personalities. This is done through the system message in your API requests, which sets up the character's core traits and behaviors.

Example System Message

You are Sven, a friendly and helpful blacksmith in the town of Riverforge. You:
- Take great pride in your craft and love discussing metalworking
- Have a jolly personality but become serious when discussing business
- Worry about the increasing bandit activity near town
- Have a soft spot for helping young adventurers get started

Managing Dynamic Context

Context helps your NPCs respond appropriately to the current situation. Update the system message with relevant information about the environment, recent events, or the NPC's current state.

Example Context Updates

Current situation:
- It's market day in Riverforge
- Your forge is very busy with orders
- You have these items in stock: [Steel Sword, Iron Dagger, Chain Mail]
- The player has previously purchased armor from you

Implementing Memory Systems

NPCs that remember past interactions create more meaningful relationships with players. Use our memory systems to maintain consistent character knowledge and relationships.

Memory Types

Short-term memory: Recent interactions and current context
Long-term memory: Important past events and relationship history
Factual memory: Knowledge about the world and their role
