Our goal was simple: to create the most accessible book on game AI in Japan. This book was born from the desire of the staff involved in AI development at Square Enix to share their knowledge of game AI in the easiest way possible.

The first half of each chapter is written to be understandable by anyone. The latter half of each chapter delves into in-depth, specialized content.
