Today has unveiled Dreamia , an AI-powered character engine that shapes storytelling in real-time. Lisbon, Portugal-based Today is building a next-gen cozy social simulation game where players cultivate thriving virtual island communities. And Dreamia is its biggest product launch yet.
To achieve its vision of a more dynamic, responsive and creative cozy social sim, Today raised $5 million from Sfermion and Big Brain earlier this year. The team has deep gaming pedigrees, including former leads from Nintendo, SEGA, Epic Games and Unity. Dreamia is Today’s next-generation character engine.
It uses AI to create intelligent, interactive NPCs that are hyper-realistic and dynamically responsive. As players engage, their actions shape the story, making every encounter in Today fluid, fun, and deeply personal. No two players have exactly the same experience which deepens the game’s authenticity, complexity and stickiness, the company said.
