The Simulation by Fable said it is open sourcing its new tool for creating Westworld-like simulations that feature AI characters.
San Francisco-based The Simulation by Fable (previously known as Fable) has a team with two-time Emmy winners, and it has been working on the intersection of games and AI for years with veterans from both Pixar and Oculus.
Today, it revealed its AI framework, SAGA (Skill to Action Generation for Agents), now available as an open source project.

A demo of the tech is set in a 1800s Wild West town called Thistle Gulch.
“We’re releasing SAGA this week, which is a tool to help people bring agents to life within simulations,” said Edward Saatchi, CEO of The Simulation by Fable, in an interview with GamesBeat. “And we’re going to be open sourcing it and allowing a community to start to grow up around simulations. We want to enable them to bring their simulations to life with intelligent agents that can plan and take actions.”
