This framework only work with Unity and is currently tested on the last 2019 version.
While utility-based systems can be used in many types of games, they are more appropriate in situations where there are a large number of potentially competing actions the AI can take—often with no obvious “right answer.” In those times, the mathematical approach that utility-based systems employ is necessary to ferret out what the most reasonable action to take is. Aside from The Sims, other common areas where utility-based systems are appropriate are in RPGs, RTS, and simulations.
