Hi, I am new over here so sorry if I miss some rule.
Context:
- I am making a 3d (or 2.5d) game that is inspired by games like Limbo.
- I am using jBullet physics (might switch to ode4j) and LWJGL 2 (will update to 3).
- I am doing all the coding and asset creating so workload is limited.
- I have 4 years of experience with Java so don’t be afraid to throw terminology on me.
Question:
I hate how in games you have 2-4 randomized animations for actions and cycles.
Since I am all for thinking creatively and creating new things to improve my games I decided that I want an “AI” that would handle the animations for let’s say a human model. (such as for an example, walking/running, swinging an arm to hit a target, jumping, holding on to objects, etc…)
I am pretty sure that fully adaptive AI is a to big fish for me and for any mid-low PC in terms of processing power, so I think that the best way to handle this would be to create a set of hints for the “AI” to help it do tasks. (roughly explain how to walk, prevent falling down, detecting and working with surrounding objects, etc)
Now I am really torn apart on how I would go about doing this. Would a lite neural network be an option? Do I create everything on my own? Are there any projects that already did this? Is this even possible with an acceptable level of quality with todays PCs?
Thanks for reading!
