Believable Atmosphere Through AI Enemy Behaviour in Video Games With Sneak Component
Christian Katz
Based on the game BLOODLINE- THE LAST HEIR, Christian Katz developed an enemy AI that creates a believable atmosphere through its behavior in a sneak environment. For this purpose, the perceptions and awareness of the AI were implemented, based on the role of the enemies and on the frustration level of the player, in order to breathe life into the characters and to provide enjoyable gameplay at the same time. The project was created in the Unity engine and programmed using C#.
