Proud of my team for rolling out Bitpart University today. It has been an undertaking to create tutorials that empower absolutely anyone to create professional-quality interactive living game worlds, even if they have never touched Unreal before.
I gave a talk at AI & Games conf reflecting on whether planners (GOAP, HTN) still have relevance in a world of Gen AI. I see opportunity for neurosymbolic approaches to AI for games that combine symbolic planning with neural language models. Fun live demo at the end.

Welcoming @jefforkin.bsky.social to the stage, 11 years after my very first YT video describing his work on the AI of F.E.A.R. was a crazy full-circle moment in my career that I didn't anticipate.
Great talk too! 😄
The talks from our conference are being launched on our YouTube channel every week.
Starting with:
One Trillion Parameters and No Plans by @jefforkin.bsky.social, @bitpartai.bsky.social.
