  • Methods and Systems for Generating and Managing Active Objects in Video Games
    Publication number: 20250010196
    Abstract: A method of managing evolution of an active object in a game space based on interaction of one or more players with the active object, the method including the following steps implemented concurrently and independently by server-side and client-side modules: acquiring data indicative of a first player's interaction with the active object during gameplay; determining data indicative of a first state of the active object and data indicative of a first attribute associated with the first state; determining altered state data indicative of a second state of the active object, wherein a second attribute is associated with the second state; and determining evolved object data indicative of a change from the first attribute to the second attribute. Further, the client-side module uses the evolved object data to render the active object on the first player's client device in the second state and the second attribute.
