In our talk for the AI Summit at GDC 2024, Sam Fay-Hunt, Game AI Developer at Kythera AI, demonstrates a framework to modularize game AI concepts into compartmentalized, reusable components. Attendees will learn how to build reusable modular components representing common Game AI concepts and how to apply these concepts to augment existing behavior authoring tools, such as Behavior Trees in order to simplify the expression of the complex factors influencing behavior.
