Klang, the innovative game studio behind SEED, has announced a strategic partnership with Google Cloud to create a persistent, AI-driven virtual society. SEED is a massively multiplayer online (MMO) simulation where AI-powered Seedlings—autonomous virtual humans—live, evolve, and interact in real-time, even when players are offline. Using Google Cloud’s advanced AI and cloud infrastructure, including Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Vertex AI, and Gemini models, Klang aims to push the boundaries of large-scale AI-driven simulations.
“At Klang, we are building the largest simulation of humanity’s future ever attempted,” said Mundi Vondi, CEO of Klang. “With Google Cloud’s technology, we can scale beyond what was previously possible, connecting thousands, if not millions, of players in a persistent, evolving world.”
How Google Cloud Powers SEED
1. AI-Driven Virtual Societies
- Seedlings exhibit distinct personalities, learn, and evolve, creating organic, emergent gameplay.
- Vertex AI and Gemini models enable natural conversations and meaningful interactions between players and AI-driven entities.
2. Seamless Scalability & Performance
- Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) ensures SEED’s vast, evolving world scales efficiently as new players and AI entities join.
- Cloud-powered simulation allows cities, relationships, and entire societies to develop without performance bottlenecks.
3. Persistent, Evolving Gameplay
- SEED’s AI-powered Seedlings continue to function, interact, and grow—even when players are offline.
- Cloud-based AI optimizations enhance realism by remembering past interactions and adapting to new experiences.
Industry Leaders on the Partnership
“Klang’s vision for SEED represents the cutting edge of interactive entertainment,” said Jack Buser, Global Director for Games, Google Cloud. “With Google Cloud’s AI-driven infrastructure, Klang is building something truly groundbreaking.”
Oddur Magnusson, CTO of Klang, highlighted: “Google Cloud’s AI capabilities provide the performance and reliability we need to bring SEED’s ambitious vision to life.”
With this groundbreaking partnership, Klang is set to deliver a first-of-its-kind AI-powered MMO, where AI-driven societies thrive, evolve, and adapt over time. The collaboration ensures SEED can scale seamlessly, offering an unparalleled player experience that blurs the lines between AI and interactive storytelling.
As Klang and Google Cloud continue innovating, SEED represents the next evolution of MMOs—one where AI and players co-create a living, evolving digital world.
