NPCs can make your World feel truly alive, from welcoming players to sharing useful info. But making effective use of NPCs depends on thoughtful behavior design.
In this video, you’ll learn how to approach building and configuring NPCs. We’ll cover how to trigger responsive interactions with events and voice, add fallbacks and guardrails to keep conversations on‑topic safe, and test and debug behavior so your NPCs are reliable and publish‑ready. By the end, you’ll be ready to transform “cardboard cutouts” into personable characters that players remember.
