Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova, the fourth installment of the 4X sci-fi strategy game series from Stardock, continues to revolutionize the gaming industry by introducing cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology. The game’s Early Access branch will now offer AlienGPT, a ChatGPT integration powered by OpenAI, to help players craft a distinct and impressive lore, dialogue, and more for their civilizations.
The trailer depicting the technology at work is the perfect place to start learning about AlienGPT. In Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova, the player gets to explore a galaxy-sized map, colonize planets, research new technologies, and forge diplomatic ties with alien civilizations. This entry is also the most feature-rich title in the franchise, introducing sizable maps, personalized leaders, and story-based missions to the strategy game title.
As impressive as these gameplay enhancements may be, nothing quite compares to the introduction of AlienGPT artificial intelligence. It allows players to create their own civilizations with only a few lines of text, while also constructing exclusive graphics to accompany their civilations. This is all made possible thanks to OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology, helping make the player feel like they are truly crafting a unique universe in the 24th century.
Brad Wardell, the CEO of StarDock, could not contain his enthusiasm when speaking about AlienGPT: “We are delighted to be bringing Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova to the strategy game realm. Its integration with AI-fueled tech allows gamers to assemble their very own civilizations with only a small prompting, making the title much more approachable to new gamers.” To further this goal, Stardock has implemented a number of new UI features, tutorials, and context-sensitive information, as well as several other novelty additions such as planetary sieges, multi-sector map design, varied galaxy setups, and weapon designs.
Beginning today, Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova will be offered in Early Access on the Steam and Epic Games Store platforms. Those who already own Galactic Civilizations IV will be able to upgrade to Supernova at a reduced price. Thanks to AlienGPT, the game has tremendous potential to provide increased replayability, no matter how many times players choose to explore its unique universe.
