Designing Intelligent Artificial Intelligence
Below is my preliminary draft design for the AI system within Spellbound. I’m slowly migrating away from scripted expert systems towards a more dynamic and fluid AI system based on machine learning and neural networks. I may be crazy to attempt this, but I find this topic fascinating. I ended up having a mild existential crisis as a result of this. Let me know what you think or if I’m missing something. Objectives:Spellbound is going to be a large open world with many different types of characters, each with different motives and behaviors. We want this open world to feel alive, as if the characters within the world are inhabitants. If we went with pre-scripted behavioral patterns, the characters would be unable to learn and adapt to changes in their environment. It would also be very labor intensive to write specific AI routines for each character. Ideally, we just give every character a self-adapting brain and let them loose to figure out the rest for themselves. Core Premise: (very dense, take a minute to soak this in)Intelligence is not a fixed intrinsic property of creatures. Intelligence is an emergent property which results directly from the neural topology of a biological brain. True…
