Game AI designers must manage complex interactions between the AI character, the game world, and the player, while achieving their design visions. Computational co-creativity tools can aid them, but first, AI and HCI researchers must gather requirements and determine design heuristics to build effective co-creative tools. In this work, we present a participatory design study that categorizes and analyzes game AI designers' workflows, goals, and expectations for such tools. We evince deep connections between game AI design and the design of co-creative tools, and present implications for future co-creativity tool research and development.
