Componentizing AI Tools for Behavior-Driven Game Design

Creating Behaviors Instead of Code

Designing AI systems that can be adapted to any genre or game type allows for unparalleled versatility, but developing games AI without a specific game in mind has become an industry-wide challenge. 

The Componentized Dataflow Framework (CDF) approach enables studios to solve this by developing games AI systems in a generalized, flexible manner. This flexibility is a driving force behind Kythera AI’s approach to AI tools, which aims to empower game designers with tools to express their creative visions with ease.

  • What a Componentized Dataflow Framework (CDF) is and how it can benefit your studio
  • How to use CDF to empower creativity by moving the ability to reason about the game's state from the programming realm into the design space.
  • The efficiency of the CDF approach and why you shouldn’t waste time designing a DSL
  • How CDF democratizes the development process for a more collaborative development environment

" Many of our behavior design tools today start off really simple and easy to use and then before you know it, they've blown up in complexity. You tweak things, you handle edge cases and bugs and you end up with a complicated web of behavior. It's highly valuable to understand this trade off.
