Co.Pilot: AI Game Development Inspiration
Gaming is the future of entertainment, and as such, has unlimited potential to create connections across the world.
Co.Pilot leverages AI referencing to foster opportunities for more diverse games to be created and build bridges between cultures, starting with the Chinese and Western game industries.
Stakeholders at the centre of the design
Throughout the design journey, multiple stakeholders from across the problem space landscape were considered and prioritised. These stakeholders and their associated personas were central to the research, validation, and storytelling processes via interviews, ideation sessions, and storyboarding.
Iterative and principle-driven process
Due to the multiple layers of stakeholders and their conflicting needs, the principles of research, signals and trends, participatory design, and storytelling were all leveraged to find a suitable solution. The process was not linear, and iterations were needed to continuously go back and forth between these stages.
