CIVIL-AI-SYSTEM v0.4.3
Overview
CIVIL-AI-SYSTEM is a tool designed to make adding complex behaviour for AI entities as frictionless as possible and allowing for quick iteration improving development speed. This system was designed for RPG and city building settings but could be used in a host of other settings. With an easy to learn but in-depth Job System, any user will be able to develop complex behaviours quickly and breathe life into your scenes.
Design your AI flows as you would break down a role in real life
Create your NPCs flows using similar terminology as you would in real life. Unlike traditional finite state machines where you are translating the actions into a technical setup, with the CIVIL-AI-SYSTEM sections have already been broken down into easy to understand and logical groups which are used to build the complex behaviours giving less headaches and confusions to developers and allowing for the focus to be on building the behaviours and not setting up systems to achieve this.
Detailed Need System
Design and define the needs of your NPCs within your worlds, do they need sleep, food, to socialise or whatever else you want to add. State ways they can fulfil those Needs and step back and watch. Within CIVIL-AI-SYSTEM you will see the NPCs doing their normal day-to-day tasks interrupted realistically by needs they have to fulfil. This brings more layers to them and make your worlds more convincing and realistic.
No Need to Know how to Code
Simply add the product to your project and use the built in menus and flowchart editor to design and create your behaviours. Everything needed to make complex behaviours can be achieved with drag and drop. Any problems, reach out on Discord or check out the Wiki for help.
Bring life into your Game Worlds
Quickly and effortlessly bring movement and dynamism into your worlds with an easy to setup system with layers of depth. Create complex bustling Ports or even a Hermit up in the mountains, this system can cover all civil manners. No need to work out how many people would be a realsitic amount, CIVIL-AI-SYSTEM popluates the world based on places to live and jobs that exist meaning the amount of people lines up with the world space.
Speed and Iteration
Remove the pain of hand writing unique behaviours for you NPC’s. Use the built in Node Editor to quickly map out and design your behaviours and watch them fold out in real time with ease in the editor.
Depth of Actions
The system is designed to cover as many cases as possible in creating behaviours for civil settings, being that shop keepers, trading caverns or builders. All can be made with this straight forward system.
Designed with Additions in Mind
Developed with the idea of allowing for growth of the product both from an official and personal capacity. The system allows for easy defined edges of systems making it easy to understand what each component is responsible for what and how to add in more bespoke behaviours. The Wiki also has the addition of step-by-step guides for switching out sections of the system.
Built In Integrations
Built in plug and play support for ‘A* Pathfinding Project’ and ‘Agents Navigation’ simply import and select within settings to get going, no need for code changes or edits. Support is also coming for more tools and products in the future.
Robustness and Support
Implemented with modern practices and with the main goal of providing ease of use and reliability to your project’s developments. Automated testing to make sure functionality works and will always work as intended with each release. Professional support and feature request channels, giving you access and visibility of changes which are coming and support issues that are being worked on. Graceful failing with logging has also been implemented meaning if something goes wrong, you’ll have a refence to which NPC had the issue, along with what section failed.
