Justice Online to Launch Selfie Mode with AI NPC Support
NetEase's MMORPG 'Justice Online' is introducing a comprehensive 'Selfie Mode' in its upcoming 'Miaojiang Gu Shi' expansion on October 30. The feature allows players to walk while taking photos, customize camera angles, and invite AI NPC retainers to automatically pose for group pictures. This update enhances the social and creative gameplay loops in modern MMORPGs by bridging the gap between virtual photography and AI-driven characters. It highlights how game developers continue to integrate generative AI and customizable features to boost player engagement. The update also introduces a 'Retainer Station' where players can browse, customize, and commission AI NPCs with predefined appearances and personalities as 24-hour companion partners. Furthermore, the 'Theater Station' has been upgraded with features like footprint visual effects, one-click sharing codes, and segmented speed adjustments.
## BACKGROUND
Justice Online is a prominent open-world martial arts MMORPG developed by NetEase that gained industry attention for integrating advanced conversational AI and language models into its non-player characters. These smart NPCs are capable of generating dynamic, context-aware dialogues and behavioral responses rather than relying purely on scripted lines.
