Nordic Games Talk AI in The Guild 3

When Nordic Games decide to resurrect the Guild  franchise, they were determined to create the best game they possibly could. In a development update on their website, they discuss in detail the vast amount of work that they have put into the highly advanced AI system they have created for the game. 

“The artificial intelligence is a major element in the game, and our technology and design have focused on this feature since we started working on this project. Not only because this is one of our specialties here at GolemLabs, but also because this feature is equally important for Nordic Games”, says Jean-René, founder and leading programmer at GolemLabs. “Each little action in the game has a set of values that influence the various aspects of the AI to provide a more realistic game feeling. Every decision the player makes will affect the environment, the activity and behaviour of the NPCs, so EHE sets the player ever-increasing challenges.”

The NPCs in the game are now capable of learning as the game progresses. They can respond to events that they see happening and adapt to their environment. With a huge world in the game, this AI is designed to make it seem much more vibrant and alive. Check out the full post on Nordic Games' website.
