John and Anthony aren't the only pimpin' artists at Beatnik towers. Check out what our AI bots did whilst we were out on lunch!



I'd be lying if I said that writing and testing the new AI bots wasn't fun. It's a lot of fun. Sometimes I feel a little guilty about how fun it is. But then a bot comes along, kicks my arse, the guilt dissipates, and I rage quit.

But seriously, the bots are looking great. They aren't quite pondering the complexities of the universe just yet, but they are definitely kicking butt and taking names. We can get around 30 in game at the minute with stable frame rates on our lower spec machines and 50 on the higher spec machines. These numbers I expect to fluctuate in all manner of ways before release. Special thanks go out to Christian Cerri for setting out the initial AI framework.

More bot art after the jump.
