Behind The Pixels: AI mechanism in grand strategy games as an example of universal video game systems - lecture for Digital Dragons Conference

Universal video game systems

I'd like to invite you to an exclusive lecture originally given at Digital Dragons Conference by my colleague from the company, the lead programmer at Jujubee - Fabian Berda. I am co-author of this lecture called: "AI mechanism in grand strategy games as an example of universal video game systems"

Game analysis reveals a striking pattern in the gaming world – the recurrence of certain mechanics among titles that belong to the same genre. For companies dedicated to the production of a specific game type, such as grand strategy games, this observation offers a unique opportunity for both efficiency and quality improvement. Universal systems that can be adapted, modified, and shared across titles can significantly reduce development time while enhancing the overall gaming experience.

The heart of this concept lies in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in the context of strategy games. In our Digital Dragons lecture, we'll unravel the principles of designing and programming these universal mechanics using AI as our focal point.
