How Megalodon, Kraken and Skeleton Ships Haunt the Sea of Thieves | AI and Games (2019x10)

: 10, 2019

In part three of my series looking at the AI of online pirate adventure game 'Sea of Thieves', I explain the AI behind the three boss enemies that exist in the open waters. The Megaladon, the Kraken and the Skeleton Ships - also known as Megan, Karen and Skevin - have their own unique AI systems and we hear first hand about their development from some of the software engineers responsible at Rare.
