Systems and methods are directed to presenting, by one or more processors, a game result indicium and in response to a user-selection of the game result indicium, the system and method retrieves game play information related to a game play session. The system also generates, by the one or more processors, a game result overlay based on the game play information generated during the game play session, presents the game play overlay overlaid on a media content item to generate a composite media content item, and transmits the composite media item to a second user.

A non-monetary incentive model defines a Distributed Consensus Protocol (DCP) for a blockchain based on a proof-of-play mining approach. The non-monetary incentive model employs a gamification approach where mining efforts are recorded responsive to achievement in a gaming environment, rather than the proof-of-work or proof-of-stake approaches commonly used for blockchain valuation. The incentive model draws on a participant volition in attaining or improving a gaming achievement. The approach records gaming moves or actions undertaken by a participant playing the game, based on a seed used to instantiate the game. Upon attaining a predetermined minimum score, and at a predefined difficulty, the gaming effort is deemed to warrant a new block in the blockchain.

Systems and methods to support player-initiated proof of in-game participation by unique digital articles in in-game events are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may execute instances of a game; manage player accounts associated with the players; record usage information pertaining to player-owned unique digital articles on a permanent registry; present a player interface for a player to select an in-game event; store video information of the selected in-game event; and record references to the stored video information on the permanent registry such that the video information is accessible for viewing by users of the permanent registry.

This invention relates generally to a software-enabled, computer-implemented neural processing system for a non-player character (NPC) in a computer-enabled virtual environment. The system includes a plurality of virtual sensors configured to detect one or more virtual stimuli presented by the virtual environment to the NPC and present corresponding stimuli detection signals in response to the one or more virtual stimuli. The neural processing system may also include a virtual neo cortex, which may include a plurality of processing modules that are each configured to process stimuli detection signals output from the plurality of virtual sensors. The neural processing system also may include a virtual thalamus module configured to receive the stimuli detection signals and transmit the stimuli detection signals to the appropriate processing modules of the virtual neo cortex.

Multiplayer video games involve multiple players playing using either a single computer system or multiple computer systems connected together. While a first player of the multiplayer game is playing the multiplayer game, the first player's actions are tracked and stored. When the first player quits or stops responding before the multiplayer game has completed, the first player is replaced by a computer-simulated version of the first player that selects its actions based on probabilities calculated from the tracked actions of the first player. The multiplayer game is thus able to continue without interruption or disruption, and the first player's playstyle is preserved.

Game decisions are coordinated using a semantic natural language processing (NLP) machine learning (ML) algorithm, which is stored in a memory in some cases. In response to a game event, a processor records a text string that represents the game event in a text log that includes a sequence of text strings that represent game events that have transpired during a portion of the game. The processor also generates, using the semantic NLP ML algorithm, scores for labeled actions or content based on the text log and a curve that represents a target player experience as a function of progress through the game. The processor further serves one or more of the labeled actions or content that is selected based on the scores. The labeled actions or content are served to a display associated with the processor.

A processor executes program code that represents a portion of a video game and adds a sequence of text strings that represent game events to a text log during execution of the program code. The processor (or another processor that has access to the text log) performs a natural language processing (NLP) analysis of the text log to determine one or more characteristics of the portion of the video game. In some cases, the NLP analysis includes a sentiment analysis that attempts to determine characteristics of a player's experience while playing the video game, summarization technology that creates a human-readable summary of an aspect of the game or a portion of the video game, a semantic NLP ML algorithm in the semantic similarity modality to answer questions regarding the player's experience during the video game, or grouping players in a multiplayer game based on in-game behavior.

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) provisioning a cloud gaming environment with a plurality of containers that share a single operating system instance, (2) allocating each container within the plurality of containers to a corresponding user, (3) executing, concurrently, within each container within the plurality of containers a corresponding video game instance and (4) streaming, concurrently, from the cloud gaming environment, a video game instance from each container within the plurality of containers to a corresponding client system. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
