Next-Gen NPCs

[@TheRussianBadger]

gimme the microsoft sam AI trader please I really want him

[@RolandTheJabberwocky]

Oh weird, how are you not checkmarked on youtube?

[@_Salok]

LOL. MY ROFLCOPTER GOES SOISOISOI. LAUGHING MY ASS OFF

[@pyeitme508]

Wow 😳

[@SpectralShadow-t2q]

I am gonna bet Badgers next video is about helldivers.

[@ultraseggs]

​@@SpectralShadow-t2qhe literally said that on the end of the lethal company vid lmao

[@ShumovayaSveta]

I did NOT expect this amount of lore and descriptions put in a twenty seconds trading bit holy shit

[@soup9911]

I just looked at this as well, the chocolates feel like a mild reference to the crab description from the one hitman game

[@judet2992]

The game being called “Next Week After Tomorrow” was a great play on The Day After.

[@wasdwazd]

I love that the one barb that got under the trader's skin was the one about horny players

[@frighteningspoon]

We all know they're actually gonna use these new NPCs for selling you real money items...

[@Sagojika]

I'd scam them

[@nuttyak2taps]

the delays before the npc speaks is the cherry on top

[@artg556]

The line transitions were just perfect,i also have to congratulate the voice actor, he really has that "Artificial" tone.

[@justabaron2686]

Damn, from description it looks more like a bug. Dude definitely has a "skill issue", even though it's not a boss. Amazing work, as always, great job!

[@candelalumen6334]

The guy who voiced NPC just nailed it ! It really sounds like each phrase has barely any context and he has this Eleven labs kind of vibe. I don't know how to explain but his performance just screams AI in a positive way. Also is it just me or does the player voice actor sound like V's voice actor from Cyberpunk 2077 at times ?

[@VladislavZharkov]

I specifically gave Jordan as little information about his character as possible, focusing mostly on what voice I'd like to hear. Only context he had is that it's an NPC and he should talk that way. He ended up giving me an excellent performance. Forrest on the other hand was given more directions, portraying an annoyed player through an in-game character, and he did really good as well.

[@CyberLou]

@@VladislavZharkov Thats some stellar directing right there. Good job 😁👍

[@IceTactics]

@@VladislavZharkov I appreciate you hiring real folks for this, even though it was about AI, haha. There will always be a place for real voice acting in storytelling, even if voice actors are sometimes accompanied by our AI cousins, lol

[@GPKlosterman]

Okay, now i want the submarine pattern socks.

[@jordanharbinvo7682]

This turned out so great! The Ban page at the end was a nice touch! Kind wanna play the 'game' now!

[@YouThisReadWrong.]

This deserves more views

[@thesteampunkinc]

Imagine a ai npc shop keeper that has a low chance to talk like Morshu if you don’t have enough currency.

[@5ninthavenue]

Day before be like

[@Borazilla1]

I love the little detail where it takes AI couple seconds to process what the guy said then come up with an answer

[@noobguy9973]

Really like the item descriptions espacially the Smarty T9 its hilarious.

[@jaikkonor13]

Это настолько жизненно выглядит, что я теперь хочу видеть таких неписей в Таркове. Хотя бы будет на кого орать за ваншот голова-глаза 500 м с ТОЗа.

[@SocksRocker]

I like the little tongue and cheek with the “game” name good stuff lol

[@medusa219]

I just can't believe that this is still sfm. Image quality is stunning

[@_Salok]

That fukken Microsoft Sam at the end took me off guard !

[@Wapako]

Such great animation and comedy ! I hope you will go far !

[@timmy6890]

Trader Abuse is so common thank you for shedding light onto this!

[@PolymorphixAlpha]

Always a pleasure to see the Compass of Belial again.

[@MrBrigadierArchived]

Панчлайн убил (буквально, весь сервер) 🤣

[@VladislavZharkov]

До чего техника дошла, меня теперь серверами целыми смотрят!

[@MrBrigadierArchived]

@@VladislavZharkov учитывая "страну" канала: это не техника дошла, а мы сами все дошли - на лыжах! 🤭

[@leamon_3]

Dang imagine trash talking the AI to the point where you are roasted everytime basically day z traders. Those guys get heated to the point of fire fights with customers.

[@gigoe]

this is so sick!!! i love this so much amazing work

[@eglaiosdeminecraft9259]

The Day Before will remain in meme history

[@Flaxen420]

no way this is SFM, it looks so realistic, this was a great video!

[@imaginsharky]

this is animated so well dude... awesome! say, you still using S2FM? that train animation was really cool

[@VladislavZharkov]

Yup, still Source 2. No plans to move elsewhere in foreseeable future.

[@Havox-]

Wow I caught an early upload! Just about to finish the video and it's pretty funny, but here's an Idea, NPC AI skit where the AI is so smart that the player ends up building a bond, friendship or something more, and than realizes after some game update or glitch that it was an NPC he was talking to the whole time lmao.

[@duccithedoot]

the joke with the day before "Next week, after tomorrow"

[@ace2ersatzhandy383]

That cracked me up. Great job! XD

[@jamesh7432]

Love the ABK joke!

[@dont_even_bother]

this is why Im always nice to NPC's

[@enzodog]

Hilarious dude -- amazing as always

[@mrhonkhonk6116]

Ok Ok this is next gen video right their wow impressive you nailed the aesthetic of video game with this animation plus the voice actors who talk like an AI damn

[@Ctrl_Fury]

That was pretty good, keep it up dude.

[@Yearl742]

I love this so much

[@shihwalee2584]

goodness gracious that is good, also, haha vehicles go boom

[@long_chin_man]

the "ban message" made me lol right outta my chair

[@ToshiKex]

Фантастично. Отличная работа ❤

[@PrinceFlorizel]

Отличное видео!

[@cheetochinpo]

the division 4 looking great is what i'd say if i was a ubisoft shill

[@katana2665]

Brilliant!

[@teezzmegee972]

This....this is perfect!

[@LordNorth13]

Next Week: After Tomorrow. That is really funny.

[@mushnoodle]

If only actual ai were anywhere near that endearing 🥲 but i guess that was the point 😂

[@AkiraThe_Great]

Great video

[@ayy_yip]

lmao this is so well done

[@pyeitme508]

I bet thid male NPC trader can be hired by 3 different PMCs in Gray Zone Warfare 😂

[@sfmcinematics]

average american walmart be like

[@fireflyb0y]

I'm not sure what I saw, but I want more of it.

[@limer.6355]

i would be totally fine with this

[@t-1463]

просто шикарно!)

[@specter7227]

one idea is more unique than the other...

[@Nekerfree]

"Hunt down the freeman"

[@Maxwell722]

Выглядит как The Day Before, а значит скамят

[@inedial48]

Next week after yesterday's tomorow

[@shroomer3867]

Imagine one where the AI becomes sentient and it's inside a game and has a panic attack

[@Demetrius900000]

Okay, that was funny!

[@yevanasvetya5486]

Wait what, source filmmaker? Damn

[@Frost_tenshi]

im confused is this a game on steam? or nice cinematics?

[@VladislavZharkov]

Purely an animated short, not a game. I like to confuse my viewers a little bit.

[@YarGolubev]

Концовка - огонь :D

[@magnusbjornson3247]

No snappy comment, just love it❤

[@LaurynasSFM]

Perfection 😅

[@ВладиславЯценко-с7з]

Kommander Carl, are you here?

[@mfinland2767]

Hoot should hire you

[@joevonash3699]

Очаровательно!

[@WarkolakA]

Bazinga

[@YamatoPower9000]

To be honest I was a bit scared for a moment in the end.... But then I was just sad for the whole AI hype promises. Also chatgpt got verbal recoil on "horny prompts".

[@cg_machine]

Xax! Шикарно!!

[@MasterTopHat42]

Ok but AI NPCs would be really cool if we can fine tune it

[@sergeykizin6101]

Ахахахах прикольно)) ❤❤❤

[@YasinTheDuke]

You should do Squad videos.

[@damagedsfm2468]

Very well made, what models did you use?

[@VladislavZharkov]

Pretty much all the stuff you see comes from either Unreal Marketplace or other sources, like Polyhaven. However, to create faces I used Character Creator 4.

[@damagedsfm2468]

@@VladislavZharkov they're great! you're a big inspiration for me, keep up the great work

[@patefreeman1106]

Do more maybe with enemies

[@frank6587]

Vladi, can I call you Vladi? You should defo try to collab with Hoot, he's got an amazing voice. I firmly believe you both have something to gain from a collab.

[@VladislavZharkov]

That is something that I genuinely wish to do someday, but I'll need some very solid material in order to lure him into this house. Someday it'll definitely happen, but no promises.

[@DiversionDude]

LOL

[@thebadassofthewest6022]

LOL

[@archivefolds]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@huntersleepybrown2988]

LMAO insults fire quality animations high million subscribers somehow still not there

[@qwoi76]

is this an animation or actual coded gameplay?

[@VladislavZharkov]

Purely animation. I just like to add a little touch of authenticity here and there.

[@totalguardian1436]

Сразу понятно что это пародия на The Day Before

[@ЖмыхАирлейнс-о8м]

Ахуенно)

[@NDMO2468]

First!
