ARCHITECTURE SPEC: CONTENT GENERATION: NONE LANGUAGE MODELS: NONE NET DISPATCH: 0 BYTES CPU BUDGET: BOUNDED

Actorics is not generative AI in any form. It does not generate art, audio, text, levels or dialogue. The runtime selects an action from a set your designers authored — the same thing a behavior tree does, except the opponent stops falling for the same tactic. No language models. No network calls. No tokens.

On-device behavioral runtime for game characters.

Opponents, bosses and squadmates that stop falling for repetitive player tactics during combat. Evaluated locally on the CPU within your frame budget. Zero network calls. Zero cloud token bills. Fully constrained by Designer Envelopes.

SEC.02 / PROBLEM

Gameplay combat breaks down in the frame budget.

Hand-authored trees get solved by players. Cloud agents don't fit in a frame. The behavioral layer sits between the two, and it is still written by hand.

INDUSTRY STANDARDSTATIC

Static behavior trees

  • The player finds a dominant tactic within minutes and repeats it for the rest of the encounter.
  • Every new enemy type means hours of manual tree tuning by a programmer.
  • Designers can't change behavior without a code change.
GENERATIVE CLOUD AGENTSEXTERNAL

Remote inference per character

  • External inference with round-trip latency that combat timing can't absorb.
  • A running bill per session, per player.
  • Late decisions break animation blending and telegraphs.
  • Live generation requires a storefront AI disclosure.
ACTORICSLOCAL

Behavioral runtime

  • A compact state evaluator on the player's CPU. No GPU, no server.
  • Punishes repetition of a single tactic instead of scaling damage or health.
  • Runs inside hard boundaries set by your designers.
  • Target: zero allocations per tick, zero external dependencies.
SEC.03 / ARCHITECTURE

Dynamic adaptation inside rigid designer boundaries.

One tick, five stages. The controller proposes; the Envelope decides what is allowed; commitment keeps animation intact. Select a stage.

Designer Envelope

These values drive the sandbox above and the struct on the right.

Recovery window after an attack. Adaptation can never shorten it.

The designer sets the delay; the floor is fixed at 150 ms.

How much better a new action must score before the current one is dropped.

    SEC.06 / INTEGRATION
    

      
Native tooling integration. No standalone runtimes.

      
Every decision is written into the debugger your team already opens. Pause the fight, scrub back two seconds, read why the character did what it did.
