- Game Balancing: Fine-tune AI difficulty and realism to ensure a challenging yet fair experience across all skill levels.
- Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with Gameplay Programmers and Animators to ensure AI decisions lead to fluid and visually authentic transitions.
- Documentation: Maintain detailed GDDs (Game Design Documents) for AI systems, outlining triggers, reaction times, and tactical overrides.
