MiTale uses IBM quantum computing simulator for C.L.A.Y. RPG asset generation
Key points
- MiTale used an IBM quantum computing simulator for C.L.A.Y. RPG.
- The simulator generated maps, characters, and graphic simulations.
- MiTale claims this is the "first commercial game" using quantum computing.
- The studio aims to integrate real quantum hardware into games long-term.
Quantum Computing in Game Development
MiTale Ltd. is promoting its narrative-driven RPG, C.L.A.Y. - The Last Redemption, at Gamescom. The game distinguishes itself by incorporating quantum computing techniques for creating game assets, narrative elements, and procedural systems. MiTale collaborated with IBM Quantum Computing experts on this project.
First Commercial Application Claim
MiTale states that C.L.A.Y. is the "first commercial game on the market utilizing quantum computing in an immersive narrative experience." The studio also suggests this is a preliminary step toward using actual quantum hardware in games to accelerate complex tasks, similar to how GPUs function.
Development History and Future Goals
MiTale has been exploring quantum games since 2019, connecting quantum systems with development environments like Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, and Ink. The company's long-term objective is to integrate real quantum hardware into game development to enhance player-centered design and provide unique, real-time adjusting experiences.
Specific Use in C.L.A.Y.
For C.L.A.Y., IBM Quantum technology assisted MiTale developers in generating maps, characters, and graphic simulations. The studio envisions a future where discrete or integrated quantum accelerators in PCs could accelerate complex gaming tasks.
