Qualcomm's gaming team released MindSand, an open-source project for experimenting with LLM-driven gameplay: natural-language commands, dynamic NPC personalities, and runtime conversations. The team demoed it in Starship Troopers: Extermination, showing how LLM NPCs behave in a real game. Developers can pick it up to experiment and build on top.
