Koei Tecmo Games has 1 granted patent in AI & Machine Learning.
The patent covers an artificial intelligence system designed to maintain organized battle formations in three-dimensional gaming environments. The technology addresses character positioning during combat by applying forces that push attacked characters back toward their allied troops, preventing the disorderly mixing of opposing forces on the battlefield.
The single AI and machine learning patent tackles a specific problem that occurs when troop formations collide at diagonal angles in 3D battle simulations. When characters are knocked away from their positions during combat, the system detects which side of the battlefield they belong to and applies repositioning logic that pulls them back toward their own formation. This region-aware approach solves a challenge that earlier leader-following mechanics couldn't handle, where diagonal clashes would cause troops from opposing sides to intersect and either intermingle unnaturally or create awkward gaps in the formation lines.
