Shopping AI [part 1]

Plague Architect
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Shopping AI has been partially revamped. Shops are now selectable and have names.

The shopping AI currently works like this:

  • Each shop has a popularity and gender bias
  • People don’t revisit shops they already visited
  • People always visit the “best” shop option, based on a combination of popularity, gender association, proximity, and some randomness
  • They will browse the shop for a limited amount of time before heading to the next one

This is only part 1 because it doesn’t include items, workers, and checkout, which is still to-be-added.
