Inclusive Coop Dialogue System

The Inclusive Coop Dialogue System is an interactive communication system that allows players to engage in cooperative conversations with one another in a game. It is designed to promote inclusivity and facilitate collaborative problem-solving among players.

With a modular design, the ICDS allows multiple players to simultaneously take part in a conversation with one or more NPCs, in a conversation environment that feels and behaves like natural language, handling situation like multiple players trying to converse at the same time in a way that resembles what would unfold in a real conversation. For this reason, the ICDS has been repeatedly described as feeling incredibly natural, during testing.

A Demo of the system was built using Unity, and a video of it in action can be seen by pressing the button below (links to YouTube).
