Wolf Games, supported by the creator of “Law & Order”, uses AI to create mystery games of murder
Elliot Wolf, the executive producer and son of the creator of “Law & Order”, Dick Wolf, is entering a new company aimed at making real crime fans.
He, with the co-founders, Andrew Adashek (CEO) and Noah Rosenberg (CTO), develop Wolf gamesA new startup that takes advantage of AI to generate daily murder games. The company also announced its $ 4.5 million financing round on Wednesday.
The flagship title of Wolf Games is called Public Eye and capitalizes on the growing interest of real crime lovers who often like to play the detective.
The public Eye takes place in the dystopian future where crime rates have skyrocketed to the point where the police think that asking for help from the public is an intelligent idea. The players collect clues, bring together evidence and recruit the help of an AI assistant, who guides them through the surveys and offers advice to help resolve crime.
However, the creation of new mysteries of murder to be resolved daily is a major challenge. To solve this problem, Wolf Games uses an AI engine that helps the team of writers to prepare new cases.
AI is inspired by titles published by major information sources such as CBS and NBC. Similar to “Law & Order”, one of the oldest dramas of the oldest crime in television history, society says that the stories of the game are mainly fictitious and are inspired by these titles rather than copied directly.
In addition to the creation of stories, AI is also used to generate interview clips and photos of crime scenes.
“In one click, we take this linear story and make it fully interactive and playable,” Wolf told Techcrunch, adding that the best models of AI like Gemini are used to ensure the consistency of the characters throughout history.
“If a character gets a scar on their face halfway in history, whenever this character appears, he will have the scar,” said Wolf.
We tested the game ourselves, where we tried to resolve the murder of a store owner. The suspects included a summary trainee, a drunk boyfriend and a girl above. For a story mainly generated by AI, it was surprisingly ok and even an unexpected turn at the end. (It should be noted that it is difficult to be wrong with a real crime story, given the abundance of real events that can inspire dramatic scenarios.)
The real kind of games is very competitive, but the founders think they have the expertise to collect an important audience.
The caliber of investors also tells a convincing story. The Pre-Série tour included the participation of Dick Wolf, the co-founder of the Beats Jimmy Iovine and the president of the United Talent Agency, Paul Wachter.
The public is launched on the web this summer. It will be free to play with optional integrated purchases; You will need Join a waiting list If you want to try.
In the future, Wolf Games plans to work with intellectual property holders to adapt television programs to new games.
It should be noted that Hollywood leaders continue to launch AI startups, in particular given the 2023 strikes Where the use of AI was a controversial problem. The Oscar -winning film “The brutalistIs the latest production example that has been responsive for viewers for its use of an AI vocal tool.
However, despite the industry with the implications of AI, an increasing number of celebrities – such as Ashton Kutcher And will.i.am – Invest in AI companies, indicating a desire to exploit this technology for entertainment.
