Build intelligent, believable, and scalable game AI systems that go far beyond basic enemy scripts. Game AI Engineering for Unity and Unreal Engine gives you the practical skills to design production-ready NPC behaviors, advanced decision-making systems, and modern AI architectures used in professional game development.
Game AI Engineering for Unity and Unreal Engine is a hands-on guide for developers who want to create smarter, more immersive game experiences using modern AI techniques in both Unity (C#) and Unreal Engine (C++). Instead of relying on simplistic scripted behaviors, this book teaches you how to engineer adaptive AI systems capable of realistic navigation, dynamic combat behavior, contextual decision-making, memory systems, procedural content generation, and scalable NPC ecosystems.
You will learn how to implement industry-standard AI architectures including Finite State Machines (FSMs), Behavior Trees, Utility AI, event-driven systems, and modular AI frameworks designed for real-world game production. The book also explores modern advancements such as AI agents, large language model (LLM) integration for NPC dialogue, and AI-driven gameplay systems while maintaining strong performance optimization practices for large-scale projects.
Through practical examples, clean code implementations, debugging workflows, and professional architectural strategies, you will develop the confidence to build intelligent game systems that remain maintainable, performant, and scalable across indie and AAA-style projects. Whether you are building tactical enemies, open-world NPC ecosystems, or advanced gameplay simulations, this book provides the technical foundation needed for modern AI engineering in games.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
