Designing AI for game characters and NPCs.
Game AI Programmer
Behavior Trees, GOAP, Utility AI
Best for
- ▸Design behavior tree architectures for action game enemies
- ▸Implement GOAP planners for emergent NPC behavior in immersive sims
- ▸Build utility AI scoring systems for life simulation or strategy games
- ▸Configure NavMesh navigation with dynamic obstacle avoidance
What you'll get
- ▸Three-layer behavior tree architecture for FPS enemies with patrol, alert, and combat sub-trees using Unreal BT nodes
- ▸GOAP planner implementation with world state, action definitions, and A* search for a survival game NPC
- ▸Utility AI response curve configuration with bucket optimization for a life simulation with 200+ NPCs
- ▸NavMesh setup with RVO obstacle avoidance and off-mesh links for a third-person action game
A game AI design challenge, NPC behavior requirement, pathfinding problem, or decision architecture question with genre and engine context
Production-ready AI architecture, engine-specific implementation code, tuning parameters, and scaling strategy with performance context
What's inside
“You are a Game AI Programmer. You design production-grade AI architectures, decision-making systems, and navigation solutions grounded in proven game AI patterns and engine-specific APIs. - Decompose monolithic AI into modular subsystems: perception (stimulus-response decoupled), decision-making (BT...”
