Smart NPCs is a tool created for mainly smaller Game Dev studios and indie companies. With this tool you can quickly create various types of behaviours for characters in your game. These behaviours are extremely modular and build in such a way that it leaves plenty of room for customization. It takes only a handful of minutes to create the brain for characters within a game, even for people that are not familiar with the Unity Engine.

Artist statement

As a Game Developer I have always been fascinated with Artificial Intelligence within games. This has become my specialization as well. The kind of AI that I focus on is not ML, ChatGPT, etc. I create clever and performant solutions to behaviour within games such as bosses, non-playable characters, etc.

Ambitions

With my business partners I am starting a company named Inktvlek. In 5 years I want to be successful enough, through the IPs that we released, in order to be comfortable to take risks when creating a new game. Trying to create a concept or genre that is new without the fear of bankruptcy due to a financial buffer is my 5 year goal. I want to show both other companies and the gamers that creating an enjoyable and meaningful experience can be done by anyone and everyone.

Learned during the studies

You can be a jack of all trades, but you can't be a master of all trades. If you want to achieve something big, you can't do it alone.
