🚀 Course Title: Ultimate Game AI for Godot Beginners

🔥 Instructor: Adrian / Redefine GameDev

Overview:

Embark on a journey to master the art of Game AI within the robust and accessible Godot Engine. This comprehensive course is tailored for beginners, designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to create intelligent, engaging, and captivating AI characters for your games. 🤖🎮

Key Components of Game AI:

• Decision Making: Dive into the mechanics of realtime decision making using Hierarchical Finite State Machines (HFSM), a cornerstone of modern game development as seen in titles like Doom 2016. HFSM are not only effective but also simple to grasp and implement.

  Learn how a Finite State Machine works and how to use a Hierarchical State Machine for your own game project.

• Pathfinding: Explore the intricacies of pathfinding, a critical component that enables AI agents to navigate from point A to B effectively. We'll be utilizing Godot's Navmesh System to bring this to life.

  Learn how a pathfinder works and how to create one from scratch. Find out how to use Godot's Navmesh in a Game AI project, including the creation of cover points.

• Compete & Collaborate: Complete the puzzle with a focus on AI interaction, where agents can detect each other using sensors, communicate their status, and collaborate or compete based on their unique personalities.

  Learn how to implement range, field of view, raycast, hit detection, and communication.

AI Personalities:

• Aggressive AI: A relentless force designed for combat with a low chance of retreat.

  Learn how to put together an AI Agent that seeks to kill.

• Defensive AI: Balancing attack and defense, this AI engages enemies strategically.

  Learn how to put together a balanced AI Agent that not only seeks the target but also finds the nearest good cover.

• Tactical AI: Strategic and calculated, this AI uses long-range projectiles and adjusts for missed hits, ensuring an effective battle plan.

  Learn how to put together an AI Agent that uses long-range projectiles, adjusts for errors.
