The Zombie Shooter Left 4 Dead became one of Valve’s most celebrated titles thanks to its AI Director system. This made the zombies smarter and more believable as they worked to survive the apocalypse. The system was able to adapt to the player’s performance, so it would increase the challenge if they were performing well and decrease it if they were struggling. This level of intelligence in video games creates a much more immersive experience and helps the player to feel like they are part of the story and not just playing a line of code.

Natural Language Processing in Games

Other popular AI games include Eliza, a game that shows how natural language processing can be used to help humans with mental health issues. In the game, players control Evelyn who acts as a proxy for the counseling program Eliza to communicate with patients and offer advice. The game also explores the use of machine learning to predict player behavior and monetization strategies.

Other games have been designed for specific research purposes, such as Sabberstone, Firepalce and Tales of Tribute for studying decision-making AI. Other game engines have been used for research as well, such as the microRTS that focuses on clear game mechanics and simplified state space.
