AI-Powered NPCs for Hytale
Natural AI Conversations
NPCs use advanced LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, or any model you choose) to generate real conversations in real time. No scripts, no fixed dialogue trees. Every interaction is unique, contextual, and player-driven.Persistent Memory
Each NPC remembers players individually. Past conversations, decisions, relationships, and shared events are stored and reused, enabling long-term, personalized interactions.Custom Personalities
Define personalities, backstories, tones, and speaking styles per NPC. Merchants, companions, guards, or sages all behave and speak differently, consistently.In-Game Actions
NPCs are not chat-only. They can follow players, explore, gather items (e.g. berries), express emotions, and react physically to conversations. LLM tool-calling connects AI decisions directly to gameplay actions. Item giving is planned.World-Aware Context
NPCs are aware of their environment: time of day, nearby players, blocks, NPCs, and server events. Dialogue adapts dynamically to what is happening in the world.MCP Server for Developers (coming soon)
Advanced users can extend NPC behavior via a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Register custom tools, access NPC data via API, and allow AI agents to control server logic programmatically. Designed for automation and deep integrations.Web Dashboard
Manage NPCs through a web interface. View conversations, configure behavior, adjust settings, and monitor usage without restarting the server.Bring Your Own API Key
Use your own OpenRouter API key to control model choice and costs, or opt for the managed solution for simplified billing.Fast Setup
Install the plugin, connect to the cloud, and create NPCs in minutes. No coding required. Works out of the box.Current Limitations
- No trading or merchant UI yet
- Chat bubbles are still in development
- NPCs cannot attack (for now)
Hycompanion is primarily designed for RPG storytelling, immersive worlds, and utility NPCs. The project is actively developed.
