Jean Simonet is a developer who worked at Bethesda Game Studios on Fallout 3 as a programmer. Simonet was responsible for AI, animation programming and pathfinding.[1] Simonet was credited with special thanks on Fallout 4.
Work on the Fallout series[]
For Fallout 3, Simonet worked on the implementation of navmeshing, after convincing the team to rework Bethesda's pathfinding system. Simonet had to use a two-pass pathing trick to accommodate for Liberty Prime's size, which previously broke navmeshing in his path.[2]
Simonet only worked on Fallout 4 for its first year of production (2012), during which he prototyped a Behavior Graph-based AI system.[3]
