Contained within this volume are insights that cover a host of different areas within game AI, including long-term planning, AI directors, smart objects, intelligent cover, NPC agitation, utility AI, dynamic enemy behaviour, level-of-detail AI, creating clean navigation data, driver assists, animal behaviours, boss behaviours, recast navigation, utility AI, vector fields, Monte Carlo tree search, pathfinding, and much more.
Beginners to the area of game AI, along with professional developers, will find a wealth of knowledge that will not only help in the development of their own games but will spark ideas for new approaches.

He has worked in a variety of Principal/Lead AI Programmer roles for a range of studios in the UK including Sumo Digital, Team17, Traveller’s Tales, Activision, and some smaller indie studios. Paul has a Master’s by Research in Computer Science (with Artificial Intelligence), which focused on pathfinding, the development of the DRS algorithm and ways to test the believability of generated paths. Paul set up the GameAI Discord channel that has brought together hundreds of game AI professionals, where approaches are shared and ideas are discussed. He has recently started the GameAIUncovered YouTube channel, which explains how different game AI concepts work, has written several books, some fiction, others academic, and is the editor for this Game AI Uncovered series.
