Blaze AI Engine LITE

DIFF. BETWEEN LITE AND FULL VERSION?

The highly rated Blaze AI Engine has now gone LITE. It supports all of the features of the full version except for cover shooter, ragdoll, fleeing, companion mode, off mesh links and reacting to certain tags.



IS IT WORTH IT?

You're better off with the full version of Blaze AI. It's more capable and is in continuous development. But, if you want something simple then this package is stable and you can upgrade to the full version by paying a difference. Take note: this package is no longer updated. It's for you to try out at a cheap price and see if you want to upgrade to the full Blaze AI package. If you find this has all you need then you're good to go.



WHAT IS BLAZE AI?

A universal enemy AI engine for a great price! If you want enemy AIs in your game no matter the genre, Blaze will build any game object of your choice and make it intelligent, realistic and challenging for your game. It can literally turn a cube into a patrolling agent with no programming needed.

THE POWER OF BLAZE AI

You'll be able to create any enemy type using Blaze AI:

  • Wandering animals or brainless zombies ✅
  • Smart AIs that respond to the environment and corrdinate their attacks ✅
  • Ranged AI that throws spears from a distance ✅
  • A melee brute fighter ✅


FRAMEWORK-FREE APPROACH

Blaze AI offers a very simplistic approach to building your AIs and doesn't force a certain methodology or framework. However and whatever you want to do, Blaze gives you the freedom to do it in any way in your scripts and MonoBehaviour. This means Blaze is integratable with any system or asset out there. No matter what. It also works with visual scripting.



HIGHLY MODULAR & STATE-INDEPENDANT DESIGN

Every state has it's own behaviour script which is a MonoBehaviour that can either be edited or even written from sctach for highly-customizable behaviour. You can even swap the behaviour script for a state at runtime to make your enemy act differently in certain conditions. Lastly, not all states need to be used. Use what you need and leave the rest empty.



CUSTOMIZABILITY

You'll be surprised by the level of customizability and options you'll get. Set your own functionalities, animations, events and audios. Turn features on or off. Also with a whole lot of properties to choose from you can always make your enemy types unique.



RENDER PIPELINES

Since this asset is an AI system, it works on HDRP, URP and built-in pipelines.



PERFORMANCE

Blaze AI is code-optimized and is built with performance in mind. Offering distance culling, vision cycle frames, AI audios in scriptable object for less memory-footprint & settable layers in all physics operations.



APIs & PROGRAMMING

Blaze offers numerous APIs and access to properties to have full dynamic control over your AIs. All inspector properties can be accessed and changed dynamically via code to change how the AI may act in runtime. All APIs & public properties are listed in the docs.
