Hey, thanks for the feedback! AI is indeed something difficult to figure out and there's a lot of room for improvement. I think what you're looking for is not an ai that's "organic" but rather one that fools you into thinking it's smarter than it actually is. The best example I know is the AI from Alien Isolation, it also "cheats" but it's completely not scripted. You can check out the yt video about it on the channel "AI in Games". We had an issue where if the enemy would be completely unaware of where you are, you would just encounter it once and then leave behind. I agree making it cheat is not the best solution, but it's what we could do in a short timeframe we had :)
