and where are the guys beating each other wtih sticks?

Larry, it's the toy not the package it comes in that we are interested in. This level will do fine.

Aris,

The AI looks very interesting. I look forward to seeing it in action.

As for the level, I understand you put a lot of work into the AI and want the levels to reflect a degree of professionalism. However, most people, like me, are interested primarily in the AI. I would not worry too much about the levels.

Keep up the good work!

Very nice work Larry Laffer Can't wait to see the final Demo.

Larry -- as soon as I get it I plan to put the AI into my own level and dump yours -- not because your level is not good but because that AI in my game is what I am interested in. Plese release the demo now, and then later update it with a pretty level if you want to.

Well, I need a good AI too, so ...don't bother you with a very good looking level demo, unless you don't have a level designer who make it for you.
Release a first demo and sell the AI package, then , when you have a professional looking level, release a second demo.

Larry, Is it possible for friendly AI/NPS, etc to attack you if fired upon?
Or will your only enemies be the ones that started out that way?
Thanks

Daedelus, click on this thread and scroll down to my post. Intense Ai works pretty much in the same way.

However, I've disabled breaking an alliance from friendly fire right now, cause u know, sh*t happens. You don't want your allies to all turn against you if you miss and shoot an ally once. Neither you need your enemy NPCs to turn against each other the same way, like it happened with Doom2.

Maybe I'll make a "Friendly Fire Acceptable" option in WED though to allow this. If I don't you'll still be able to make and break alliances any way you feel like just with one c-script command.


As for my progress, right now I'm in complete desperation. I don't have a model, I don't have a level so I'm stuck with the artwork I currently have. I do work on the demo with the current graphics but it ain't gonna be pretty and I was kinda hoping to at least show how nice Intense ai handles different animations, but now I can't

Cheers all,
Aris

The beauty lies within the AI code, not the models nor levels. We can look past that part. I'd love to get the AI before Christmas break is over but if you want to wait for a nice level and models, its your product. My vote (as if that matters) is if the AI is ready then I'm ready to buy despite what the demo looks like. Maybe later someone will be able to do your animations and at that time you can release a new demo. Just a thought.

I agree with dleuen (you can't have 3 vowels in a word!) and that we want more of the code then the looks. I also want to play with this AI on my christmas break (I'm the teacher breaking from the kids) and if I dont' get to do that I'll tell the beer fairy not to visit you anymore (the beer fairy -teacher conspircy is true.).
