What is NPC AI like?

[Retro]

Just curious how interesting is the AI in this game? has it done anything that surprised you yet? also is this game episodes or a fulle game?

Hi SavageRose - the NPC AI is fairly advanced and took me like a year to develop!!

It's a three-tier AI system, first tier is goal-based AI, then planning/statemachine AI, then task-based AI like pathfinding, moving, eating, etc.

It does surprise me for example one unexpected behavior was a Sheeple following Patchman over a cliff - not programmed in but you can make it happen (it's even an achievement in episode one)
