AI 2D AI tool - WIP

Hi folks, my name is Mayke (pronounced Mike). I am 23 years old, I have been a student and programmer for about 3.5 years. I am currently working on a 2D AI tool that uses Finite State Machine and a node-based system to quickly create enemies, NPCs, and bosses for top-down and platform 2D games.

Currently, the tool comes with 16 predefined states/behaviors that you can use as you like on your characters. All predefined states have tons of variables and options that you can customize it making everything unique and suitable for your projects. Below you can see some screenshots and a video:

How to create an enemy

• This tool is made for everyone, from beginners to advanced developers.
• Although the tool includes 16 essential states for enemies, it's also a complete framework, allowing developers to create their own behaviors and visualizing them on the node-based system.
• I am currently testing everything and making the code as clean as possible, after that, I will finish the documentation and tutorials. My plan is to sell the tool in the asset store at a fair price, although I haven't found a similar asset that offers the same features, so I don't have a base for pricing. I would like to know your thoughts about the pricing and about the whole project.
• Feel free to comment and give me feedback.
  
  UPDATE:
  
  The tool is finally available, check it out: https://forum.unity.com/threads/released-the-2d-ai-tool-for-unity-is-now-available.1110955/

 

THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!

 

Great work!

 

If you're looking for comparisons to base pricing off of, you might check out CorgiEngine. It isn't an AI-specific asset, but does offer a decently robust AI system in addition to 2D platformer features.
I'll be keeping my eye on this, however, as it looks very promising! Good work =)

 

Thanks for the hint.

 

This.
Also behavior designer is another node based enemy state machine tool for 3d/2d. Though I'm sure you are aware of it.
Yours looks great so far.

 

Thank you for you comment, I follow your work on Reddit, I'm happy to get your attention. I already take a look at the Behavior designer, thanks again.

 

UPDATE

This is a companion AI that I made with the tool with almost the same logic as the enemies. I forgot to say in the description that the tool is not limited to make only hostile enemies, you can make NPCs that can follow paths, patrol, and react to the player's targets. Example: You can make a 'Merchant' NPC that will run to a position when it finds a hostile monster in the town or a faction of warriors that will attack monsters and rival factions with just a few clicks.

This AI is quite simple, as shown at end of the video, but it's possible to add many others states to the characters.
