Rezarus Offline: Building Human-Like Phoenix Wars Bots with Claude Fable, Initial Gameplay

This video shows an early preview of Rezarus Offline, with gameplay showing deterministic bots developed with the assistance of AI tools such as Fable and GPT.

To be clear: Rezarus was built mostly without AI from 2023-2026. AI tools have are now being used to help develop game bots.

AI has dramatically accelerated development, saving what would likely have been over a year's worth of engineering effort compared to building the system without AI assistance. I don't say this lightly: this is not the time to be anti-AI or counterculture. This technology is going to be a bigger change than the internet was.

The gameplay shown is an initial offline prototype of phoenix wars, showing myself participating in a match with bots, behaving human-like in their decision-making processes, and even player chat. These bots, for Phoenix Wars specifically, have took a little over a week to get to their current state. There are still improvements planned, but overall this is a good start. Overall, the AI bot effort has been ongoing for ~5 weeks now (Impulse & Phoenix Wars).

The long-term objective here is far more ambitious with the goal to simulate the online environment entirely offline, from player lobbies, behavior, decision-making, and matches that all resemble that of the multiplayer game, so that the problem of attracting and retaining players for a game that requires constant action to enjoy, is solved!

Rezarus Offline is a completely separate project from Rezarus, and will be available on Steam in the coming months.
