Why Artificial Intelligence is the Key to Making Great Games

What’s the missing ingredient that prevents many developers from making better games?

Artificial intelligence techniques.

All interactive simulations are only as good as their actors, so getting their behaviors right determines the quality of your gameplay experience. Not only that, but the way you create behaviors is an important part of how well your team works together during development.

Think of AI as advanced computer science; it has hit the mainstream. Most of the good ideas that are used in software programming these days were invented a few decades ago as artificial intelligence techniques. It’s your ability to identify and apply the most recent innovations that will help you succeed at making remarkable games.
