This talk explores the implementation of Doctor Strange's portal by customizing Unreal Engine's default deferred pipeline. An open portal typically doubles the rendering workload, presenting challenges for competitive video games. We provide a high-level overview of both CPU and GPU optimizations and many strategies used to adapt portal for other hero skills.
Players will experience realistic, freely placeable, and interactive portals. These portals allow visibility through to the other side while maintaining relative high frame rate. Our solution enables real-time scene to display on the other side, permitting characters, bullets, and other objects to pass through seamlessly, all without obstructing the player's main view.
本次演讲探讨了通过定制虚幻引擎的默认延迟渲染管线来实现《奇异博士》中的传送门。一个打开的传送门通常会使得渲染工作量翻倍，这对竞技类视频游戏提出了挑战。我们将概述CPU和GPU优化以及许多用于适应其他英雄技能的传送门策略。
玩家将体验到逼真的、可自由放置且互动的传送门。这些传送门允许视线穿透到另一侧，同时保持相对较高的帧率。我们的解决方案实现了实时场景在另一侧的显示，允许角色、子弹和其他物体无缝穿过，而不会妨碍玩家的主要视角。

Art workflows have become increasingly complex, and many areas of the production pipeline have not kept pace. Textures are a prime example, where the days of a single image applied to geometry are well over. We now have intertwined surface maps packed in various channels of multiple textures, causing headaches for all involved. EA Motive and SEED have decided to tackle this problem head-on and will present their learnings developing "Texture Sets" for Dead Space, Iron Man, and more. Texture Sets is a modern rethink of the texture pipeline, bundling sets of related textures together into a single asset, and taking a data-driven and extensible approach to texture authoring, processing, and sampling.
艺术工作流程变得越来越复杂，而生产管线中的许多领域却没有跟上步伐。纹理就是一个典型的例子，单个图像应用于几何体的时代早已一去不复返。我们现在有多个纹理中包含的各种通道交织在一起的表面贴图，这让所有相关人员都感到头疼。EA Motive和SEED决定迎难而上，他们将展示为《死亡空间》、《钢铁侠》等作品开发“纹理集”的经验。纹理集是对纹理管线的现代重新思考，将一组相关的纹理捆绑成一个单一资产，并采用数据驱动和可扩展的方法来处理纹理的创作、处理和采样。

This talk will explain the physics technology used in ASTRO BOT. In addition to traditional rigid body simulation, ASTRO BOT uses many advanced physics technologies that utilize the processing power of the PS5. For example, abundance of shiny gems in treasure cave, water flowing along the terrain, and balloons that deform with the weight of the player. Players can interact with these elements and feel delicate haptics feedback. Team ASOBI developed these gimmicks with the aim of creating toy-like interactions that are fun, pleasant, and satisfying just by touching them. This talk will provide implementation details for a large number of physics objects, fluids, soft bodies, cloth, and real-time destruction, as well as gameplay use cases and optimization techniques.
本次演讲将解释《ASTRO BOT》中使用的物理技术。除了传统的刚体模拟外，《ASTRO BOT》还使用了许多利用PS5处理能力的高级物理技术。例如，宝库洞穴中丰富的闪亮宝石、地形上的流水，以及因玩家重量而变形的气球。玩家可以与这些元素互动，并感受到细腻的触觉反馈。团队ASOBI 开发了这些机关，旨在创造一种玩具般的交互体验，这种体验通过触摸就能带来乐趣、愉悦和满足感。本次演讲将详细介绍大量物理对象、流体、软体、布料以及实时破坏的实现细节，还包括游戏玩法的应用案例和优化技术。

Apex Legends’ 26th Legend presented a significant technical challenge; one of her abilities allowed her to create portals through walls. However, in a competitive game where survival is the objective, there was zero tolerance for players getting out-of-bounds. This session delves not only into the details of how a navmesh based solution was created to solve this issue, but also how this allowed us to leverage navmesh to create a variety of systems, including an out-of-bounds exploit detection system and powerful procedural placement tools. This session then goes into the advantages of having each system use shared core tech in a slightly different way resulting in these features effectively providing testing for each other. Finally, this session discusses the novel web server based, in-game test framework we created to provide robust regression testing and automatic error reporting and how the combination of these systems allowed us to ship this Legend exploit free.
“ Apex Legends”第26位传奇角色提出了一项重要的技术挑战；她的其中一个技能允许她穿过墙壁创建传送门。然而，在一款以生存为目标的竞争性游戏中，对于玩家越界是零容忍的。本次会议不仅深入探讨了如何通过基于导航网格（navmesh）的解决方案来解决这一问题的细节，还介绍了如何利用导航网格（navmesh）创建各种系统，包括越界漏洞检测系统和强大的程序化放置工具。随后，本次会议讨论了每个系统如何以略微不同的方式使用共享核心技术支持的优势，从而使得这些功能能够有效地相互测试。最后，本次会议讨论了我们创建的一种基于网络服务器（web server）的游戏内测试框架，该框架提供了稳健的回归测试和自动错误报告功能，并解释了这些系统的组合如何使我们能够在不出现任何漏洞的情况下发布这位传奇角色。

Game AI Summit: Combining GOAP and MBTs to Create NPCs' Behaviors for 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance II'
作者：Matej Marko (AI Programmer, Warhorse studios)
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a large open-world story-driven historic RPG where the designer's control over the non-playable characters is of paramount importance. However, instead of dealing with tedious details of NPCs' behaviors, the designers are more interested in describing the wanted results instead of a way to get to them.In this session, Matej Marko presents how KCD2 utilizes a combination of Goal Oriented Action Planning and Modular Behavior Trees to implement behaviors of its NPCs. He describes how the state of each NPC is represented and how MBTs are used to specify the desired NPC's state and to trigger a state change process. Within this process, the desired NPC's state is used as a goal for GOAP which finds actions necessary to get NPC from its current state into the desired state.
《王国风云2》是一款大型开放世界的剧情驱动历史角色扮演游戏，在这款游戏中，设计者对非玩家角色（NPC）的控制至关重要。然而，设计者更感兴趣的是描述期望的结果，而不是实现这些结果的具体方法。在这次讲座中，Matej Marko介绍了《王国风云2》如何利用目标导向行动规划（GOAP）和模块化行为树（MBT）的结合来实现NPC的行为。他描述了每个NPC状态的表示方式，以及如何使用MBT来指定期望的NPC状态并触发状态变化过程。在这个过程中，期望的NPC状态被用作GOAP的目标，以找到使NPC从当前状态进入期望状态所需的行动。

When designing the card mini-game Kessel Sabacc for Star Wars Outlaws, one of the biggest challenges was to translate the fun of playing cards on a lively table to a PvE environment. Beyond making a ruleset fun and accessible, the high ambitions in immersion required the NPCs to express their frustration or their joy, just like any other gambler would do. This session explores how emotional behaviors were built for the Sabacc players NPC and the Canto Fathier Racing spectators NPC, two mini-games of Star Wars Outlaws. Inspired by classic human-computer interaction literature on emotional agents, the approach relies on the OCC model to better categorize and design a list of emotion assets, and a simplified Belief-Desire-Intention state machine to handle the logic of each emotional behavior.

This session covers how the logic of possibility theory can be used by game designers and developers to create utility functions for AI systems that rely on utility score evaluation for NPC decision-making. An explanation is provided for how possibilistic logic is applied through the use of contexts that designers can construct based on the information that's relevant to decisions made by NPCs. This session then continues to walk the viewer through a hypothetical example of an in-game decision made by an enemy NPC that can be abstracted to almost any game, as well as a practical example that demonstrates how possibilistic logic was applied to an AI system implementation for an unreleased colony management simulation game.
本节介绍如何使用可能性理论的逻辑，帮助游戏设计师和开发者为依赖效用评分评估的AI系统创建效用函数，以用于NPC（非玩家角色）决策。解释了如何通过上下文应用可能逻辑，这些上下文可以根据NPC决策相关的相关信息由设计师构建。然后，本节继续引导观众 walkthrough（逐行解析）一个敌对NPC在游戏中做出的假设性决策示例，这个示例可以抽象到几乎所有游戏中。此外，还提供了一个实际示例，展示了如何将可能逻辑应用于一个未发布的殖民地管理模拟游戏的AI系统实现。

Content generation systems for games are common, but tuning them is notoriously hard. Designers want to ensure a level of output diversity, but getting a useful view of the full range of content producible from a system is challenging. Such systems can produce uncountably large numbers of unique artefacts, each of which has to satisfy numerous constraints and subjective aesthetic goals.This challenge of understanding the output range of a generative system is important for game designers, but it has also been a key concern for another group for the past two decades: Game AI researchers. Researchers need to directly compare novel generative systems to prior ones, and this has led to the development of alternative methods for describing and visualizing output diversity. In this talk, we will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these techniques and how they could be used in your future development.
游戏内容生成系统很常见，但调整这些系统却以困难著称。设计师希望确保输出内容的多样性，但从系统中全面了解可产生的所有内容却颇具挑战性。这样的系统可以生成数不胜数的独特作品，每一件都需要满足众多约束条件和主观审美目标。理解生成系统输出范围对于游戏设计师来说是一个重要挑战，但这也是过去二十年来另一个群体——游戏AI研究人员——关注的关键问题。研究人员需要直接比较新的生成系统与之前的系统，这促使了描述和可视化输出多样性的替代方法的发展。在本次演讲中，我们将讨论这些技术的优点和缺点，以及它们如何在您未来的游戏开发中使用。

There has been no introduction to AI in digital games in the 80s and 90s. I have interviewed a number of game developers and have revealed the history of AI in digital games in the 80's and 90's. I will present this information in this session. It is surely information that will be useful in future game AI development. The history of game AI begins with Pac-Man (Namco, 1980). Pac-Man has a lot to offer to the modern game AI such as meta-AI to generate slow and fast rhythms, multi-agent technology, and so on. Second, in RPG game Dragon Quest IV (Enix, 1990), the player's companion characters grow automatically. In Astronoka (Enix, 1999) is the best example of utilizing genetic algorithms and neutral net learning. From a impartial overview, the overall history of game AI is explained by showing many examples.
在20世纪80年代和90年代的数字游戏中，人工智能（AI）尚未得到介绍。我采访了多位游戏开发者，并揭示了20世纪80年代和90年代数字游戏中的AI历史。我将在本节中展示这些信息。这无疑将是未来游戏AI开发中有用的信息。游戏AI的历史始于《吃豆人》（Namco，1980年）。《吃豆人》为现代游戏AI提供了许多启示，如元AI来生成慢节奏和快节奏、多智能体技术等。其次，在角色扮演游戏《勇者斗恶龙IV》（Enix，1990年）中，玩家的同伴角色会自动成长。而在《星神》（Enix，1999年）中，遗传算法和神经网络学习得到了最好的应用。从一个客观的角度来看，通过展示许多例子，整体的游戏AI历史得到了解释。

作者：Rez Graham (Creative / Technical Director, Independent)
Generative AI is rapidly gaining popularity in the games industry, but beneath the hype lies a troubling reality. This technology, often built on uncredited and stolen work, is already being used to replace creative jobs and threatening the livelihoods of countless artists and developers. Beyond that, the massive environmental costs of maintaining AI infrastructure raise serious concerns about sustainability. This session will delve into the real, human dangers posed by generative AI, from its impact on the quality of creative work to the potential loss of genuine artistry in games. It will also discuss ways to eliminate some of these issues and how we can use the technology to enhance our workflows rather than replace them.
生成式人工智能在游戏行业正迅速流行起来，但在其炒作之下隐藏着令人不安的现实。这项技术通常建立在未被署名且剽窃的工作基础上，已经被用来取代创意岗位，并威胁到无数艺术家和开发者的生计。除此之外，维持人工智能基础设施所带来的巨大环境成本引发了关于可持续性的严重担忧。本次会议将深入探讨生成式人工智能带来的真正的人类风险，从它对创意工作质量的影响到可能在游戏行业中导致真正的艺术性丧失。同时，还将讨论如何解决其中的一些问题，以及我们如何能够利用这项技术来增强我们的工作流程，而不是替代它们。

Most of the time when talking about game AI, you think of large, complex systems with many interconnected parts and delicate algorithms. But sometimes, you return to your true "smoke and mirrors" roots and get away with implementing something that is truly simple and yet has profound effects on the end product. This can be something that is apparent to the player, something that is only visible to the other devs around you, or might be something that only lives under the hood, known only to you. The common thread is that it is something that makes you ask, "why doesn't everyone do this?" This will be a rapid-fire series of presenters sharing something they have discovered and used over the years. They have to be simple, because each person will only have a few minutes to make their case!
在谈论游戏AI时，你往往会想到那些庞大且复杂的系统，它们由许多相互连接的部分和精细的算法组成。但有时，你会回归到最初的“障眼法”根源，实现一些真正简单的东西，却对最终产品产生深远的影响。这可以是玩家能够察觉到的东西，也可以是你周围其他开发者才能看到的东西，甚至可能是只存在于后台、只有你自己才知道的东西。共同之处在于，这些都会让你不禁发问：“为什么大家不都这么做呢？”这将是一系列快速展示的环节，每位演讲者将分享他们多年来发现并使用过的一些东西。这些例子必须足够简单，因为每个人只有几分钟的时间来阐述自己的观点！

For a long time, navmeshes have been the go-to solution for pathfinding in games. Navmeshes have several strengths, but they are far from perfect. The Corridor Map Method (CMM) is a novel approach to pathfinding that offers potentially significant performance benefits over navmeshes. Though used in robotics for some time, CMM has yet to become popular in AAA games. CMM uses space-filling circles and an abstract graph of the world's navigational branching points. This allows CMM to build paths while processing less and simpler data than comparative solutions. The talk will describe CMM, some of its strengths and weaknesses, and provide some tips on how to generate CMM data.
长期以来，导航网格（navmeshes）一直是游戏路径寻找的首选解决方案。导航网格有许多优点，但远非完美。走廊地图方法（CMM）是一种新颖的路径寻找方法，相比导航网格可能提供显著的性能优势。尽管在机器人领域已经使用了一段时间，CMM 在大型游戏中尚未流行起来。CMM 使用空间填充圆和世界导航分支点的抽象图。这使得CMM在处理较少且更简单的数据时能够构建路径，相较于比较性的解决方案。该演讲将描述CMM及其一些优缺点，并提供生成CMM数据的一些技巧。

作者：Shengwen Zheng (Graphics Engineer, PerfectWorld)、Zhe Zhong (Technical Artist, Independent)
The presentation introduces a post-processing outlining solution for real-time Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR). This method can be applied to all game scenes based on deferred rendering, and unique outlining effects can be added through this scheme. Inspired by the low-discrepancy sequences generated after TAA jitter on top of geometric information stored in GBuffer, this method resolves potential issues that may occur during the post-processing stage of the rendering pipeline through a denoising algorithm similar to ray tracing denoising. It successfully simulates a stable and realistic hand-drawn effect to enhance the artistic expression of the game graphics.
介绍了一种用于实时非真实感渲染（NPR）的后期处理描边解决方案。该方法可以应用于基于延迟渲染的所有游戏场景，并且可以通过此方案添加独特的描边效果。该方法受到经过TAA抖动后生成的低差异序列的启发，这些序列存储在GBuffer中的几何信息之上。通过类似于光线追踪去噪算法的方法，解决了渲染管线后期处理阶段可能出现的问题。它成功地模拟出一种稳定且真实的手绘效果，从而增强游戏图形的艺术表现力。

On July 10th, Once Human was launched, which features a vast 16km open world with time-of-day cycles(TOD) and real-time construction of various buildings within the terrain. Consequently, the game requires a high quality pre-baked GI that supports TOD, as well as a dynamic GI that updates in real time with the player's building activities, which presents considerable challenges regarding memory usage, package size, and performance. In our talk, we will demonstrate how we address these challenges using a hybrid GI solution. For pre-baked GI, we will show how we have harnessed the power of neural networks to encode GI probe data across various times of day and player's dynamic flashlight. We also showcase a novel, machine learning-based method to automate the resolution of indoor-outdoor light leaks for probes. For real-time GI, we will show how we improve the visual effect and performance across all devices compared to previous methods.

作者：Guido Rosso (Co-Founder and CEO, Rive)
In most game studios, designers create the UI and then hand it off to developers to make it functional. That handoff is often messy, time-consuming, and riddled with redundant work. Developers might struggle to execute the designer's vision due to their tool or language, or build functional UI with developer tools like HTML or XAML — not design tools.
There is a new, better way to build game UI. With Rive, you design and animate game UI in the Rive Editor, export it to the Rive format, and run your files with the Rive Runtimes in Unity, Unreal, Defold, or your custom game engine.
Rive Co-founder and CEO Guido Rosso will break down how to build a game menu that's both functional and powerful, without sacrificing creativity. He'll also show examples from games using Rive today.
在大多数游戏工作室中，设计师创建用户界面（UI），然后将其交给开发者使其具备功能性。这个交接过程往往混乱、耗时，并且充满了重复性工作。由于工具或编程语言的原因，开发者可能难以实现设计师的愿景，或者使用HTML或XAML等开发者工具来构建功能性的UI，而不是设计工具。
现在有一种更好的方式来构建游戏UI。通过Rive，你可以在Rive编辑器中设计和动画化游戏UI，导出为Rive格式，然后使用Unity、Unreal、Defold或你自定义的游戏引擎中的Rive运行时来运行你的文件。
Rive联合创始人兼首席执行官Guido Rosso将详细讲解如何构建一个既实用又强大的游戏菜单，同时不牺牲创意。他还将展示一些目前使用Rive的游戏示例。

作者：Guy Somberg (Lead Gameplay Engineer, Echtra Games)
Game audio engines - usually built on top of middleware like FMOD Studio, Audiokinetic Wwise, CRI ADX2, or Unreal Metasounds - typically have a core loop that tracks and updates playing sounds. Guy will present his classic state machine that manages the life cycle of a playing sound, then update it to match his current thinking. After that, Guy will present two important observations, called "steady state" and "fire and forget", which will allow us to take a step back and rethink the foundations of these audio engines at the level just above the middleware. The consequences of these observations will lead us to reorganize the core loop into an asynchronous and multithreaded system, without sacrificing latency. There will be code examples showing how and why the system works.
游戏音频引擎——通常基于中间件如FMOD Studio、Audiokinetic Wwise、CRI ADX2或Unreal Metasounds构建——通常有一个核心循环来追踪和更新正在播放的声音。Guy将会展示他经典的有限状态机，该状态机管理声音播放的生命周期，然后根据他当前的想法对其进行更新。之后，Guy将会介绍两个重要的观察结果，称为“稳态”和“一键触发”，这将使我们能够退一步，重新思考这些音频引擎在中间件之上的基础。这些观察结果的影响将引导我们将核心循环重组为一个异步且多线程的系统，而不牺牲延迟。还将会有代码示例来说明这个系统的工作原理及其原因。

For 3D immersive worlds and games, much like in the physical world, few things are more authentic or powerful than the human voice in forging lasting friendships and connections. But how do we scale the immersiveness and richness of voice communication while keeping our community safe and civil? In this session, we'll explore how Roblox brought to life Real-time Safety, an end-to-end machine learning (ML) model—operating at a scale of millions of minutes of voice activity per day—that detects policy violations in voice communication more accurately than human moderation. We'll then dive into how the outputs from this system feed into another model to determine appropriate consequences, and the triggers to notify people who have violated our policies, initially with warnings and then with more drastic actions if the behavior persists. One of our real-time voice safety models is now open source, so attendees will walk away armed with not only the learnings to make their in-game communication safer, but also the technology to get started today.
对于3D沉浸式世界和游戏，就像在现实世界中一样，没有什么比人类的声音更能缔造持久的友谊和联系了。但是，我们如何在保持社区安全和文明的同时扩展语音通信的沉浸感和丰富性呢？在这次讲座中，我们将探讨Roblox是如何实现实时安全功能的，这是一种端到端的机器学习（ML）模型——每天处理数百万分钟的语音活动——它能比人工审核更准确地检测语音通信中的政策违规行为。然后，我们将深入探讨该系统输出的结果如何输入到另一个模型中以确定适当的后果，并触发通知那些违反我们政策的人，最初是警告，如果行为持续，则采取更严厉的措施。我们的实时语音安全模型之一现在已经开源，因此与会者不仅会带着使游戏中通信更安全的经验离开，还将拥有今天就开始使用的相关技术。

This talk explores the methodologies and challenges of implementing server side Machine Learning (ML) based aimbot detection and its impact on online game security. The rise of competitive online gaming, particularly in Call of Duty has led to an increase in cheating, with aimbots being one of the most disruptive forms. Aimbots automatically lock onto targets, giving players an unfair advantage and eroding trust within the gaming community. Traditional detection methods, like heuristic systems, struggle to keep up with increasingly sophisticated aimbots. ML offers a robust solution by analyzing gameplay data to recognize patterns indicative of aimbot use. By training models on labelled datasets and focusing on angle velocity, acceleration etc. Activision researchers achieved over 85% detection accuracy while minimizing false positives. Challenges remain, such as collecting more representative data and avoiding misclassifying high-skilled players, but ML is proving to be a powerful tool in maintaining fair play in competitive gaming.

In For Honor, AI bots are essential for maintaining consistent gameplay in both multiplayer and single-player modes. Traditionally, creating these bots is a labor-intensive process, taking around four weeks per hero to define unique behaviors and difficulty levels. Our challenge was to automate this process to keep up with the game's frequent updates. We utilized reinforcement learning (RL) and self-play techniques, allowing bots to train by playing against existing scripted bots and themselves. This method proved to be efficient in getting bots that are good enough to hold their own against players. To tailor difficulty, we developed an action masking system, giving designers control over the RL bots which is normally a frequent issue with this kind of tech. Additionally, we combined RL with traditional scripted logic, like behavior trees, to create hybrid bots that integrate seamlessly into all game scenarios. These bots have gone through extensive testing to make sure they are up to par with their scripted counterpart and have now shipped in the game. This presentation will share our automated bot creation process, which drastically reduced development time required to make bots. We will also cover how the For Honor production is switching over to this new system for the creation of bots for future heroes. We also aim to provide practical insights into how ML and traditional AI can be synergized to streamline game development.
在《荣耀战魂》中，AI机器人对于保持多人模式和单人模式下的稳定游戏体验至关重要。传统上，创建这些机器人的过程非常耗时，每个英雄大约需要四周时间来定义独特的行为和难度级别。我们的挑战是自动化这一过程，以跟上游戏频繁更新的步伐。我们利用了强化学习（RL）和自对弈技术，让机器人通过与现有的预设机器人以及它们自己对战来进行训练。这种方法证明在获得足以与玩家抗衡的机器人方面是高效的。为了调整难度，我们开发了一个动作遮罩系统，为设计师提供了对RL机器人的控制权，这通常是这种技术的一个常见问题。此外，我们将RL与传统的预设逻辑（如行为树）相结合，创造了混合型机器人，能够无缝融入所有游戏场景。这些机器人已经过大量测试，确保它们的表现与预设机器人相当，并且现在已经应用于游戏中。本次演讲将分享我们自动化的机器人创建过程，该过程大大减少了创建机器人所需的开发时间。我们还将讨论《荣耀战魂》的制作团队如何转向这个新系统，以创建未来英雄的机器人。我们还旨在提供实用的见解，说明如何将机器学习（ML）和传统AI结合，以简化游戏开发流程。

作者：Jakob Schmid (Audio director, Geometric Interactive)
The music that plays throughout most of COCOON is generated using 5 FMOD plugins, based on a handful of synthesis techniques including granular, subtractive, and FM/AM synthesis. These plugins run on all last- and current-generation consoles and on Windows.
Composer / programmer Jakob Schmid will explain the structure and operation of these instruments, how they are set up in FMOD Studio, and how they react to input from the game, focusing on a few experimentally developed control methods that might prove useful for any music software developer.
The plugins were developed experimentally using prototypes created in Bitwig's Grid mode and then reimplemented as FMOD Studio plugins in C++. This approach allowed rapid prototyping and effective implementation. A high level description of a few key components of the synthesizers is given, along with an explanation of how a graphical patch structure can be easily implemented in code.
在整个《COCOON》游戏中播放的音乐是使用5个FMOD插件生成的，这些插件基于几种合成技术，包括粒状合成、减法合成以及FM/AM合成。这些插件可以在所有上一代和当前世代的游戏主机以及Windows系统上运行。
