Intense Ai: New Demo!!! Win A free copy.

Hello everyone,

After a long long time, I managed to get another demo up for you. There you go..

Intense Ai - Blast From The Past - 4.5 MB

For the faint of the heart, I've also made a slower version. Same rules, but both you and the bot are walking slower. Mouse sensitivity is also dropped.. a tad. However, you can 'cheat' by going faster than the bot, when keeping SHIFT pressed.

Intense Ai - Slower Blast From The Past - 4.5 MB

It's you and one bot, powered with Intense Ai(duh), fighting it to the death. First to reach 20 Frags wins.

I'm also setting up a little contest for fun. If you get to win the match you'll be rewarded by a "secret password". The first one to post this password here will get a free copy of Intense Ai - Standard version, when it's out.

I think I made the bot pretty tough. The idea is, it's easier to make a hard Ai weaker, than visa versa. Other than that, the match is fair. Both the player and the bot have the same HitPoints, same speed and the bot never 'cheats' in any way. It's like playing multiplayer with another human player.

I think I'm gonna post a pic now...

Old timers may also recognise the level. I practicaly ripped every texture, sound, model and the music from the old game Doom II. This is the first map, Entryway, which I initially made myself, and then Bilbo_bogimps redid it cause mine was horrible

. All the doom weapons are also there and they behave exacly like in the original. I had to go without the BGF though, cause that thing needed one full day to be coded and I really didn't had the time.. So, sorry BFG fans, maybe in another version

.

Ok guys, N'joy. Let me know what you think.
Aris

So please don't think i'm a crazy fps gamer or something, cause i'm not. I'm a programmer, scripter, web developer and this is the true fun for me. That being said, i don't have 6 hours a day either only to play FPS, i rather go out with my wife + kid.

Not sure what you mean. I'm sorry if i offended you anyways. I simply stated several times that the AI is fine and shouldn't get more weaknesses, of course give everyone the option to change the bot's AI (accuracy, run speed, etc.). again, sorry anyways, in no way it was my intension to offend you.

I will wait for your 3d solution (which is no trivial task). Good luck with that. Windows XP, SP2 Commercial Edition V6.31.4 Pentium 4 CPU 3.4Ghz (2 CPUs) 510MB RAM NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 64MB

Of course I tested it. Slightly.
Code:


Pros:
	A.		small download size
	B.		runs somewhat smoothly even on a slow machine
	C.		significant difficulty level
	D.		Bot doesn't know where player is at immediately, but instead, tranverses the level with intent.
	E.		Bot varies its weapon use and collects items.  Bot retreats for more pickups.
	F.		Bot strafes.  Strafing is an effective dodging manuever for the player.
Cons:
	A.		not pertinent visual: Crosshair is too small and barely visible in the heat of battle.
	B.		not pertinent visual: dis-embodied muzzle-flash syndrome; A distracting feature?
	C.		urinating in corner hiccup; Bot stands in corner looking at wall while being shot in the back for approx. 6 seconds.
	D.		The difficulty level may be too severe and may produce frustration.
	E.		Bot doesn't gloat or taunt.
	F.		Bot strafes too often and thus appears unnatural.   Strafing for the bot is more effective than strafing for the player. See A.

I wish I could earn a free copy or , at the very least, learn something new.
(I trade you one slightly used "whitehouse" level, complete with a George W. Bush, secret service men and Dick Chaney.)
