This video I filmed from February summit Press Durango, where we showed developers that is capable of a new iron from Microsoft code-named Xbox Loop. In the video we test the tech demo of traffic in the city for our new project, here are some details that I can share with you:
- Tech-demo called Motor Wave, involved about 100 cars and a couple of motorcycles
- AI not on scripts
- Demo goes at 20-25 fps 720p
- For each vehicle provided approximately 1.5 million polygons
- To run a tech-demo we bringing power PC, which is close to the spec Xbox Loop

Three years ago we set out on a quest to design the platformer to end all platformers. We started off by constructing an artificial intelligence capable of designing levels on demand, suitable for any difficulty level and built to any specification. The construction was an arduous task. We had to teach the AI everything we knew about level design: flow, spacing, rhythm, player expectation. Then we had to guarantee that everything the AI constructed was possible to beat and suitable for the right skill level….

Unfortunately designing the AI was a long process, and now we are totally out of funds to make the game look pretty. Or to finish the cut-scenes for our campaign. Or to feed our programmer.

But you can help! (Alright, you already knew that part, but seriously, you can help) With your help we can finish the most awesome platformer this world has ever seen. Alexander could stop crying, knowing that he would have an eternal challenge.

What will we do with the funds, exactly, to make this insanity become reality?

• We’ll hire a full time artist to make the game shine in all its glory.
• We’ll find an animator to help polish the game and make some awesome cinematics. We promise the cinematics will be less ridiculous than our kickstarter video.
• If any money is left over we will probably upgrade our programmer’s diet regime from cat food to human food. Maybe.

If the project gets over funded then we will go really crazy. The AI gets more powerful the more obstacles we design for the game. Every time we add a new obstacle the AI quickly learns how to use it and then can immediately start designing levels with it, combining it with any of the other obstacles already in the game. The same is true for heroes. We can design new heroes, with totally new physics and controls, and the AI will figure out how to design levels specifically for that hero. This leads to an awesome combinatorial explosion of insane potential, and the more funding we get the more material we can give to the AI to make really unique levels and a truly awesome experience.

På vilket sätt är en video vid namn "15 Things You Hope Never Happen To You In A Urinal" tv-spelsrelaterad? Jo, den är nämligen filmad med kameran till en Game Boy. År 2001.

Den 18:e maj är det dags för releasen av Max Payne 3. Pepp!

Pepp! Frågan är bara hur jag ska ha tid till det här med tanke på att Diablo III lurar runt hörnet.

Intro Redux av StarFox. Fan vad pepp och nostalgisk man blir av att se material... upphovskillen bakom det hela har dock misslyckats med att lägga på minnet att Fox heter just Fox och inte James McCloud. Men, sådant är lätt att se bort i från. :)

Supersf2turbo har laddat upp lite smaskigt Super Street Fighter II Turbo-material från GameSpot Versus arcade. Här har vi en drös med vacker sextonbitarsfighting mellan skillade motståndare och är solklart sevärt för SF-nörden. :)
