Added a new enemy detection scene connected with the battle manager!
Enemies now have a vision field that triggers the chase behavior in the state machine.
They’ll also respawn à la Clair Obscur — only after reaching a safe place.

Diagram showing how if a teapot hits the ground it creates two interest points: one for noise since it made a loud sound and one for visual since it is visible.
Skin Deep: Enemy Brains is a dive into Skin Deep’s enemy sensory/investigation logic: the “Interest Point” system.

Many found Delta's chess bot surprisingly tough, even on "easy." Users speculated this could be due to poor difficulty scaling or even a bug. It wasn't just a casual game; it was a real challenge for many passengers. #GameAI 2/6
Added some selection behaviour. I think it working pretty acceptably. :)
Also fixed the "stutter" when they change direction suddenly, made the player ignore "traffic" and other stuff to make it run nicer.

Working placeholder animations, smarter AI, etc. Feels like it is moving forward quite well now.
Just hours ago I came up with a "traffic" system to avoid them clustering too much.

PlayStation’s NeurIPS AI research says a lot about where games are headed. Less about AI playing perfectly, more about AI understanding how you actually play and helping without getting in the way.

Scout mode draft. Harvesters pushing outward, exploring.
Still figuring out the right levers. Hunters can be clever—harvesters are jelly blobs. Keep them dumb.

Prowl behavior. Hunters drift in loose spirals until something crosses their path.

Humble beginnings of the combat system...
I accidentally created some kind of terrible bar brawl.
You could almost be fooled into thinking I did this intentionally. :'D

Some early takes make PlayStation’s AI “ghost player” patent sound like AI is playing for you. Reading the patent, it offers optional help that shows you what works in the moment, not something that plays the game for you.

Getting better. Hunters now predict where targets will be.
Still struggle when speeds are close and paths aren't straight. But they're trying.

AI graphics are getting way too real 😳
This is GTA 5 imagined in North Korea, created entirely with AI. The detail is what really sells it — readable text, consistent scenes, and visuals that don’t break immersion for a second.

PlayStation is testing how AI handles real game QA work. From visual regressions and glitches to writing bug reports, VideoGameQA-Bench shows where AI helps and where it still struggles.

Smoother movement!
And by that I mean they don't just teleport around anymore. :D
Technically they still just occupy one tile/subtile at a time, but visually speaking it is displayed in a nicer way now.

After much battling to better my code I've managed to get squad members to run around chasing their squad position (shown as an oversized character atm.)
Combat is slowly getting closer.

Where Winds Meet Players Are Now Solving Riddles By Telling The Game’s AI They Solved The Riddles
In 'Where Winds Meet,' players are outsmarting AI riddlers by simply telling NPCs they’ve solved the puzzles—no real answers needed.
This quirky AI glitch highlights the growing pains of AI-driven gaming. #GameAI #WhereWindsMeet
Hey fellow Gamers & devs
What makes a good horror game AI for you?
What makes you so terrified of the Xenomorph in Alien Isolation?
I'm trying to build an AI behavior similar to it, lemme know if you guys have some suggestions or things you wanna see me build for my AI.

Factions spawning into the world properly!
The wood print below is old. Players/squads use that stuff, but faction themselves track economy instead. E.g. burn down their lumberyard and things may fall into disrepair.
