Blitz Games Studios, developers Yoostar 2, has unveiled a new technology that will allow to create characters with emotional states and expressions... incredibly believable. Kitsu is called Emotional Avatars and is part of a broader technology platform known as BlitzTech, currently under development.
To demonstrate this new technology has been used Kitsu, a young girl in Anime style that reacts to player actions in a very realistic. Right now they are shown only four major variants of expressions: happiness, sadness, fear and anger. Each of these is activated by different factors, such as the passage of a butterfly (happiness), a bat (fear) and so on.
Kitsu can already operate in tandem with existing technologies such as Kinect. But this is only the tip of the iceberg, however, something much larger than in the immediate future promises to "give results far superior to those achieved by video games seen to date." Blitz Kitsu hopes it will be adopted by all developers to create games that surpass the quality of MotionScan LA Noire to considerably more reduced costs.
