Temporary Soul

Video game

2024
Two players will control two small spheres, guiding the creatures in their movements and advancing the game. The movements of these creatures resemble animal behaviors, as their neural networks are trained using reinforcement learning algorithms, tailored to their specific training environment and body structure. Due to this form of "autonomy," players can no longer fully control the characters but can only guide their actions. During training, they are constantly hungry, must move towards food, and avoid falling. This time, their "souls" are not so perfect, can the players collaborate harmoniously with them to reach their destination?
