Imagine an epic scene: a battalion of human knights defending a bridge against an orc horde, while a group of bandits tries to flank both. As a developer, your first instinct might be to write a massive script full of if (isOrc && isHuman)<\/code> conditionals. Stop right there. That is the perfect recipe for spaghetti code.<\/p>\n

The Monolithic AI Nightmare<\/h3>\n

Most indie AI systems fail because they try to manage everything within a single component. When you want to add a third faction or a flee behavior, the system collapses. At Noocturnal Games Studio, we believe in personality through composition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
