Perception and suspicion
See, hear, smell, discover clues, respond to lighting and crouching, and escalate through five readable suspicion levels.

ARGUS PRO
Build enemies that act on evidence—not hidden player state.
Enemy intelligence, end to end.
A modular Unity 6 runtime that connects perception, suspicion, locomotion, memory, decisions, squad tactics, cover combat, health, aiming, and weapons into one explainable stack.

The design rule
No omniscience disguised as intelligence.
Argus Pro is being built around observations, timestamps, confidence, reports, and explicit contracts. Enemies can infer. They can be wrong. They can receive old information. They can coordinate without secretly knowing where the player is.
OBSERVATIONS→MEMORY→DECISIONS→ACTIONS
Current development scope
From first clue to coordinated response.
Use the complete Drop-In enemy or integrate only the modules and interfaces your game needs.
Durable observation memory
Keep useful observations after contact is lost instead of collapsing every decision into the current frame.
Imperfect shared intelligence
Exchange timestamped reports with nearby allies while preserving age, uncertainty, and the difference between seeing and hearing.
Evidence-scored decisions
Choose actions through readable utility evidence and contracts—not privileged access to hidden player state.
Coordinated investigation
Divide search and investigation work so a squad covers useful space instead of checking the same point repeatedly.
Observation-based interception
Predict likely escape trajectories from genuine observations, then assign pursuit, interception, and containment work.
Cover and fire-team tactics
Claim cover, peek in bounded windows, suppress, advance, hand off covering fire, reposition, and retreat when wounded.
Reasoning you can inspect
Read scoring evidence, reasoning traces, contracts, assignments, and debugging signals while the encounter is running.
The cognition loop
A decision has a paper trail.
Every step preserves the evidence that caused the next one.
01
Observe
Create evidence from senses and world events.
02
Remember
Retain timestamped observations after contact breaks.
03
Share
Pass imperfect reports to allies without manufacturing certainty.
04
Score
Compare actions against current evidence, needs, and contracts.
05
Coordinate
Assign non-overlapping roles, positions, and tactical work.
06
Act
Move, search, take cover, fight, recover, or retreat.
Squad intelligence PursuerMaintains pressure on the best-supported target path. InterceptorMoves toward a plausible future crossing point. ContainmentCloses escape routes instead of joining the same chase line. Pincer wingBuilds lateral pressure from a distinct approach. SupportProtects movement, supplies covering fire, and responds to need. ReserveHolds useful depth until the encounter creates a better job.
Six enemies. Six useful jobs.
The target is not six agents sprinting toward one last-known point. Pro assigns distinct tactical work and keeps positions claimed so coordination survives contact with the level.

Cover and fire teams
Combat is coordinated work—not a firing checkbox.
Discover cover or use authored points. Claim separate positions. Peek for bounded firing windows. Suppress while one teammate advances. Hand off covering fire. Recover, reposition, and retreat when wounds change the value of the fight.

Core or Pro
Choose the layer your game needs.
Pro contains Core. They are alternative installs, not packages that should be stacked together.
Install Argus Core or Argus Pro—never both.Pro already includes the complete Core feature set.

Drop-In or interfaces
A complete path without a closed architecture.
Add Argus Pro Enemy (Drop-In) to assemble the full reference stack, or connect
individual modules through public C# interfaces. The included NavMesh implementation is a
starting point, not a lock-in strategy.
LOCOMOTION CONTRACTREPLACEABLE
IArgusProLocomotion Keep cognition and tactics. Swap the component that moves the body.
Planned release package
Built to be learned, tested, and changed.
Playable stealth demo
See the complete stack operating in an encounter rather than isolated editor screenshots.
Focused micro-demos
Learn one system at a time with scenes built around a single mechanic or integration boundary.
Feature Lab scenarios
Exercise the Pro systems through fifteen deliberately scoped tactical situations.
Commented C# source
Read, modify, debug, and own the runtime. No black-box DLL and no subscription.
HONEST SCOPE / 01
Enemy cognition and a reference combat stack. Your game remains yours.
Bring your own production character art and animations. Argus Pro is deterministic gameplay AI: no machine learning, no generative AI, no cloud service, no telemetry dependency, and no subscription.
Questions, answered
Before the first development build.
Is Argus Pro an add-on that requires Argus Core?
No. Argus Pro includes the complete Argus Core feature set. Install Core or Pro—never both—in the same project.
What does Pro add beyond Argus Core?
Core provides perception, awareness, suspicion, basic guard behavior, and alert propagation. Pro adds durable memory, imperfect intelligence sharing, utility decisions, coordinated investigation and search, predictive interception, tactical actions, combat formations, cover combat, fire-team coordination, advanced tuning, and reasoning tools.
Does the AI read the hidden player Transform to make predictions?
No. Prediction and tactical decisions are built from genuine observations and reports. The design goal is enemies that reason from evidence rather than omniscient access to hidden player state.
Do I have to use NavMesh or the included combat stack?
No. The built-in NavMesh locomotion and reference combat stack provide a complete starting path, but public C# interfaces are designed for custom locomotion, root motion, KCC, A*, ECS, another controller, or your own production combat systems.
Does it include production characters and animations?
Bring your own production character art and animations. Argus Pro provides enemy cognition, tactical decisions, integration contracts, and a reference combat stack.
Is this machine learning or generative AI?
No. Argus Pro uses deterministic gameplay AI. It has no machine-learning model, generative AI service, cloud dependency, or subscription.
When will Argus Pro be released?
It is still in active development, and the feature set and presentation may change before release. This page documents the current direction without promising a release date.

Awareness was the first layer.
Now the enemy gets memory, judgment, teamwork, and a reason for every move.
