Abstract

We present a multiplayer first-person shooter (FPS) game with advanced intelligent non-playable characters (NPC) under computer control. The game is specially adapted for playing in VR headset so the simulator sickness symptoms are significantly reduced. The demo allows users to play with the other human and NPC players in a shooter game made in Unreal Engine 4. User can verify his/her game skills versus evolving human-like NPCs with a level adjusting model. The humanness of NPC was verified with Alan Turing game test beating 52% record from BotPrize’12 competition.
