AI Integration in Game Development
UniAPT introduces artificial intelligence (AI) into game development to improve gameplay, create dynamic environments and increase player engagement. AI technologies are applied in various aspects of game development, from procedural content generation to intelligent behaviour of NPCs (non-player characters).
Key Areas of AI Integration
Procedural Content Generation
Purpose: Automatically generate game content (e.g., levels, environments) to provide a unique experience for each player.
NPC Behavior
Purpose: Create intelligent NPCs that can adapt, learn, and respond to player actions.
Game Balancing
Purpose: Use AI to analyze player data and adjust game difficulty dynamically.
Player Behavior Analysis
Purpose: Understand player preferences and behavior to enhance game design.

Example: Interacting with AI API for NPC Behavior
Scenario: Implementing an AI service for NPC decision-making.
API Interaction (Python)
Purpose: Communicating with an external AI service to determine NPC actions.
Tools and Technologies for AI Integration
Unity and Unreal Engine: For procedural content generation and AI-driven animations.
Machine Learning Libraries: TensorFlow, PyTorch for developing custom AI models.
Analytics and Big Data Tools: For gathering and analyzing player data.
Future Plans for AI Integration
Advanced AI-Driven Storytelling: Implement AI to create dynamic storylines that adapt to player choices.
