Stealth games are one of the most challenging genres to get right. You either run the risk of making it too easy and predictable, or impenetrable for only the most ardent of players. In this episode we take a look at four design pillars of AI for stealth games and how Splinter Cell: Blacklist employs them to create a balanced experience.

Chapters
[00:00] Introduction
[01:00] The Design Pillars of Stealth
[05:49] Visual Perception
[08:57] Environmental Awareness
[10:54] Auditory Perception
[13:39] Social & Contextual Awareness
[16:26] Closing

This video is based on the following publications:
- Walsh, 2014: "Modeling Perception and Awareness in Splinter Cell: Blacklist", Game Developers Conference (GDC), 2014.
- Walsh, 2015: "Modeling Perception and Awareness in Splinter Cell: Blacklist", Game AI Pro 2, Chapter 28, 2015.
