Integrating AI tools for excellent game development software

Client

Charmed is an early stage, venture capital backed startup, that created original artificial intelligence-powered video game development tools, enabling users to create video games quicker than ever before. The company's platform offers browser-based, AI tools that can automatically create textured maps, paint colors, and surface minute details into three-dimensional objects along with an easy-to-use inbuilt quest generator.

One of the best AI tools for game development

Charmed AI is an end-to-end AI toolkit designed for simplifying the 3D art process in game development. It offers a range of AI-powered tools to help create detailed meshes, stunning materials, and lively animations. At its core, it revolves around streamlining the creation process of 3D models, materials, and environments, thereby considerably reducing the time and effort required. By integrating advanced AI technologies, Charmed AI enables game developers to rapidly prototype and iterate on ideas, finding the fun in the development process.

Innovative 3D game design

The Charmed.ai initial project goal was to have a tool that can render a 3D Object in a web application, let the user fill up a prompt and generate a texture using a Machine Learning algorithm based on the details the user filled. The project has since evolved, with ASSIST Software involved in developing and extending functionality.

What we worked on:

Geometry Generator

Creates 3D meshes and initial textures from input prompts or images, ensuring T-pose character meshes for auto-rigging.

3D Animator

Auto-rigs T-posed 3D character meshes and retargets animations from the motion library.

Texture Generator

Automatically generates high-quality UV-unwrapped textures for 3D game assets, reducing production time and cost.

Fantastic, fast and easy results using the best technology

We are welcoming AI in the world of game development by using and merging exceptional technologies.

Mixing core game functionality with emerging tech

Imagine designing a 3D object and instantly applying an AI-generated texture that brings it to life.

To ensure smooth development and deployment, ASSIST implemented a monorepo architecture, allowing every update to be automatically applied across the system. A shared package was also introduced, bringing together all common components in one place—making development faster and more scalable.

Managing projects has become just as effortless. A dedicated hub lets users oversee all their files in one place, ensuring everything stays organized. When an AI-generated texture is ready, it can be downloaded as a PNG and used in other design tools or game engines without hassle.

On the front-end, 3D models come to life through the ThreeJS library. Users can rotate, zoom, and apply textures in real time, seeing exactly how their design will look before finalizing it.

Working quest and dungeon generators

We have also built the Quest Generator, a tool for generating quest outlines and dialogs that are consistent with the game world. It can be viewed as a worldbuilding tool that helps authors create characters, quests, and dialog for adventure games.

The Dungeon Generator, or the tilemapgen tool (An open source version), can be used to design individual tiles or full tilemaps tool for an isometric video game level. It is an exploration of AI mediated design. It uses assets to create isometric view tiles, but the tool should work for other tile geometries too.

Where can game developers use tools like Charmed?

The Charmed.AI ecosystem offers a wide range of solutions tailored for various industries, from gaming and animation to education and virtual simulations.
