Unawake: Lifelike Characters Powered By NVIDIA’s Audio2Face AI Technology

Upcoming first person melee action utilizes groundbreaking toolset to deliver emotional and lifelike facial impressions
 

Oberhaching, Germany, March 22, 2024 - Independent development team RealityArts Studio and Publisher Toplitz Productions are proud to announce that Unawake, the upcoming action adventure game will utilize Audio2Face technology from NVIDIA to enhance their character animations.


With the integration of Audio2Face, Unawake utilizes a generative AI to create emotional and lifelike facial animations from pre-recorded voiceover samples. Showcased at the NVIDIA booth at this year’s GDC in San Francisco, the inclusion of this technology will leave a mark on the intense gameplay and story-telling the players will experience when they get their hands on Unawake later this year.




After collecting the feedback from the thousands of players, RealityArts not only made significant improvements to the gameplay side of Unawake, but also worked on visuals, e.g. with integration of Epic’s MetaHuman toolset and Audio2Face, while adding more content in general.

Further information on Unawake is available on the official product page on Steam, where the game can already be wishlisted.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to spearhead a new era in content creation!”

This milestone marks the next step in the progress the anticipated first person melee action game has made since its last public showing with a Halloween themed demo at Steam Scream Fest 2023.
