Lab3 Studio

Another look at my custom built AI framework in action Full YT video in comments #gamedev #unrealengine #indiedev

@TomsGamingVault Still working on it

@lab3studio How does the navigation work in full panic/combat?

And now my NPC's also got better pathing and subtle collision avoidance. You probably barely can spot it. And you have no idea how bad navmesh on this map is. #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine

@games_mode37945 It’s called ID Required

@lab3studio Whats the name of this??

@tieskoart That's what I'm trying to do - bring back the vibe with everything that I think is missing. Just follow my profile for updates, everything is here!

@lab3studio Really impressive, I loved it, how can I learn more about this project? It reminds me of good old times playing Payday 2

@DarkStarInit I appreciate the kind words! Building as we speak!

@lab3studio Inspiring work! Keep building. #gamedev #IndieGame #AI

As promised, AI agents get a little uneasy around us Suggest your ideas and follow for more! #gamedev #unrealengine #indiedev

@jeimuson @SassyValkyrie Speed is a bit rough to control in GASP, I'm yet to figure it out, but it is not as simple as changing a single variable. Right now they walk at the same speed, yes

@lab3studio @SassyValkyrie Looks good do they all walk at the same speed? Or is there a variables in there walk speed just curious

Pathways are fun inside of Unreal, especially when you start to figure them out. I have a 2 story mansion and when I finally figured out how to get the NPCs up the stairs I was so excited.

@SassyValkyrie Appreciate the kind words, and yeah, if anything buys characters - that’s a bonus to the game budget, it goes straight to fund the development

@lab3studio Very impressive system, I'll follow cause it looks like it would be a fun heist game! I have another friend who might be interest in your chars for a project, I'll send him your page link.

I sell the characters! Everything else is part of my project, I currently have no plans selling the AI system. It is a data driven sim, designed to work in any environment and any conditions. Stll early, and there's not a lot of states and richness in terms of behaviours, but concept itself works. So far they cycle between relaxing and looking for entertainment, working and getting spooked should you put gun at them, but I planned so much more

@lab3studio I genuinely enjoyed watching your vid. I like wondering what they are "thinking." Great animations, good timing. Do you sell assets on FAB?

@1FUGGA Of course, they use the same animations currently. I'll fix that with a new data set at some point

@lab3studio the females move too manly

Navigation is custom here, it is similar to GetPathPoinsSyncronously, but also adds offset around the edges, builds points at intervals and looks at the slope to prevent pathing from trying to climb to parts without nav links. And force pushback is there too now, preventing pawns from clipping into each other. I actually use a very thin capsule. You could say, there's barely any capsule.

@QuodSoler I was testing EQS responce, drawing the cube on the actor that was affected Was so excited to show the mechanic that it completely slipped my mind to remove it for the showcase

@lab3studio Is the cube a way to know agents positions? Maybe it would help if you attach that cube position to a socket in the spine instead of root.

@_DeceptiveGames Thanks! That was the point. I actually had procedural UI and all of that before procedurally generated with my old framework, which I've replaced in favor of Mutable. I can recreate that easily in the game Here's the video: youtu.be/nJJ4OCSuWCA

@lab3studio Ah, got it. That makes sense for an Unreal editor section then. Even at the backend stage, solving compatibility and clipping across that many item combinations is impressive.

Take a look at customization system for our game "ID Required", it's been in the works for years Solves item compatibility and clipping There are hundreds of items and thousands of combinations #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine

@anthony_ha15609 It is ready when it’s is ready Not this year tho

@lab3studio Do you have release date for your game?

@jeimuson For sure, keep an eye on the profile!

@lab3studio If you eve need a tester and feedback hmu

@_DeceptiveGames There's no UI yet, the UI shown is a backend Unreal editor section

@lab3studio UI polish can make the whole project feel more confident. This sounds like a useful step. Are you prioritising readability or style first?

@anthony_ha15609 Thats a lot of work but I it will get there!

@lab3studio Pleas to not hurt, them. Hands blocking. Shrinking on floor. Hide behind, a table or chair. 👍👍

@jeimuson Sounds good, I’ll do some of that!

@lab3studio In a real situation some randoms might drop straight to there knees or prone on the ground because of the stress of the situation

Leaving here a couple of screenshots while something else is cooking
