The SERAPH Steam Operations Team

Dear Players,

After months of dedicated development, the SERAPH team is proud to unveil a revolutionary feature arriving in the new season: the AI Agent System! Centered on the theme of “Deep Interaction and Emotional Connection,” this system empowers the game’s ecosystem through advanced AI technology—infusing the world of SERAPH with living, breathing personality.

[h2]1. Agent Unlocking: A Journey of Mutual Bonding[/h2]
All AI agent NPCs will be integrated into the new “Social – NPC Friends” interface. Unlocking them will grant access to exclusive interaction-driven storylines. Two immersive paths are available for unlocking:

• Story Resonance: Progress through key main/side quests to gradually reveal each agent’s backstory. (Players with Direct Upgrade privileges may unlock all story-linked agents instantly.)
  
• Challenge Certification: Complete trials specific to each agent—such as tactical simulations or puzzle challenges—to earn their recognition.
  
• Design Philosophy: Each agent is a unique narrative node; unlocking them marks the beginning of a personal epic in character development.
  

[h2]2. Dialogue Challenges: The Art of Dynamic Semantic Interaction[/h2]
Once unlocked, agents can engage in Dialogue Challenges—these aren’t simple scripted conversations, but real-time semantic interactions based on dynamic language understanding.

• Intelligent Response System: Conversations will trigger key phrases or hidden emotional conditions (e.g., empathetic support, strategic persuasion) to progress. The AI parses and reacts to contextual depth in real time.
  
• Seasonal Reward Loops:
  
  • First-time completion yields exclusive resources (challenges reset each season);
    
  • Weekly Agent Care Plan: The system will randomly select NPCs you've completed to send personalized messages with season points or rare items—offering a meaningful “remembered by the NPC” experience.
    
  • Optimized Interaction Frequency: Daily conversation limits ensure server stability and encourage consistent player engagement.
    

[h2]3. Technological Leap: A New Era of NPC Interaction[/h2]
This system combines emotional computing models with enhanced behavior decision trees to deliver:

• Personality Expression: Each agent has an individual personality matrix (e.g., aloof, calm, sly), and their dialogue strategies evolve based on your relationship.
  
• Contextual Memory: The AI retains cross-session preferences to generate evolving, persistent narrative branches.
  
• Low-Latency Interaction: Our proprietary inference engine ensures millisecond-level response time for a seamless, immersive experience.
  

The new season will launch globally soon!
Our team is continuously enhancing the agent behavior library and narrative network. Upcoming features include AI Agents as Combat Companions and Cross-NPC Dynamic Events—stay tuned!
