Telfair PULSE Art + Technology Exhibit will Host a Free Family Day Sat. January 18th from 1-4pm at the Jepsen Center

Lowcountry Games, a local game development studio and Beaufort Digital Corridor member company, is excited to announce the launch of its newest project "CHATCITIES": a website where players can craft interactive stories. This follows the success of last year's Quiet on Set, a murder mystery game that thrilled audiences. Specializing in conversational AI, the studio empowers players to craft interactive, immersive worlds.

What is AI and Why Does It Matter?
AI, or artificial intelligence, is like giving computers a little bit of "human-like" thinking so they can help us in creative and practical ways. In our games, AI makes it possible for characters to feel more alive–-they can chat with you, react to your choices, and even surprise you with their responses.

"This is storytelling reimagined," says Tatiana Tatum, the artist on the project. "AI improvises in conversation so each player will have a unique experience."

Lowcountry Games will debut this project at the PULSE Art + Technology Festival at Savannah's Telfair Museums on January 18, 2025. Admission to the museum is free from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and artist presentations, including Lowcountry Games' showcase, will take place from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

The PULSE Art + Technology Festival is a yearly celebration of innovation in the arts, held at Telfair museum's Jepson center. For more information about the project, visit Bit.ly/chatcitiesrpg.
