Towards a multi-agent non-player character road network: a Reinforcement Learning approach

Creating detailed and interactive game environments is an area of great importance in the video game industry. This includes creating realistic Non-Player Characters which respond seamlessly to the players actions. Machine learning had great contributions to the area, overcoming scalability and robustness shortcomings of hand-scripted models. We introduce the early results of a reinforcement learning approach in building a simulation environment for heterogeneous, multi-agent nonplayer characters in a dynamic road network game scene.
