CAI UWE

CAI UWE – or simply Cai – is hard to categorize. Whether it qualifies as a classic game in the traditional sense is up for debate, but it’s definitely an early alpha version. Still, it’s worth checking out this project, which I’ve developed with a lot of creativity using Unreal Engine 5.

What is Cai?

Cai is an interactive application with GPT-4o integration, allowing you to engage with an AI in innovative ways – live via Twitch or directly through a website. You can control Cai in a 3rd-person perspective and even speak as Cai using a microphone (with a slight delay). Important: only one player can play at a time.

Cai’s World

The setting takes place in the ocean, surrounded by a few islands. Currently, there’s only one other character with whom Cai can interact. These conversations can either be initiated by the player controlling Cai or via specific commands from the Twitch chat. The key is that Cai must be near the other character for any interaction to happen.

Discover and Participate

You can find all the details about controls and the implemented chat commands on cai-uwe.wtf. There’s also a devlog and all the relevant links to try out Cai for yourself.

The Vision

There’s no concrete plan for where this project is headed. At the moment, I’m envisioning something like a survival game, but the direction remains open – I’m simply building whatever comes to mind. The linked video shows an early version of the playable part.
