Modular Behavior Trees: Language for Fast AI in Open-World Video Games
نویسندگان
چکیده
As the graphical representation of computer games gradually becomes comparable to cinema, previously neglected nongraphical game aspects start to play an important role in maintaining believability of the game world. One such aspect is the behavior of non-player characters (NPCs), which should appear intelligent and purposeful in the ideal case or not completely stupid at the very least. A good and fast language to express the behaviors is vital for success. We present a visual agent language inspired by behavior trees that was approved for deployment at the core of AI system for an upcoming high-budget open world game.

Evolving Behaviour Trees for the Commercial Game DEFCON
Behaviour trees provide the possibility of improving on existing Artificial Intelligence techniques in games by being simple to implement, scalable, able to handle the complexity of games, and modular to improve reusability. This ultimately improves the development process for designing automated game players. We cover here the use of behaviour trees to design and develop an AI-controlled playe...
متن کاملAn AI System for Large Open Virtual World
In recent years, computer games have reached unprecedented level of graphical fidelity to the real world. As the non-player characters (NPCs) in the game world look more and more realistic, players expect them to manifest believable behavior as well. This is accented especially in games that feature large open worlds, which players may explore freely and it is thus not possible to explicitly ac...
متن کاملSmart Areas - A Modular Approach to Simulation of Daily Life in an Open World Video Game
Constructing believable behavior of non-player characters (NPCs) for large open worlds in computer games is a challenging application of AI. One of the greatest obstacles for practical game applications lies in managing the complexity of individual behaviors and in managing their development cycle. We propose the use of “Smart areas” to overcome these obstacles and allow for realistic simulatio...
متن کاملThe Role of Avatar in Interactive Fictional World of Video Games
In third-person video games, players are able to move and progress in the interactive world of the game while watching their avatar from an external point of view. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of avatar in the interactive imaginary world of video games using double vision theory. This article is based on descriptive-analytical methods and the use of library data and imag...
متن کاملA Semantic Navigation Model for Video Games
Navigational performance of artificial intelligence (AI) characters in computer games is gaining an increasingly important role in the perception of their behavior. While recent games successfully solve some complex navigation problems, there is little known or documented on the underlying approaches, often resembling a primitive conglomerate of ad-hoc algorithms for specific situations. In thi...
