AI DESIGN USING XML POSTMORTEM: HOW TIMEGATE STUDIOS SHIPPED KOHAN II AND AXIS & ALLIES BACK TO BACK []CONTENTS NOVEMBER 2004 VOLUME 11, NUMBER 10 FEATURES 12 VISUAL FINITE STATE MACHINE AI SYSTEMS AI can be tough to write effectively, and most top end programmers can’t be expected to chart out the habits of dim-witted creatures. For simple enemies, like Goombas, Koopas, and Swoopers, finite state machines can provide a simple and quick way to create enemy attack patterns without all that nasty coding. Sunbir Gill lays out a method of designing AI systems in Microsoft Visio, outputting the charts to XML, and then translating the XML into your game as creature AI. By Sunbir Gill 6 18 WRITESIZING It wasn’t so long ago that most games featured plots and stories that could be summed up in two pages of the manual. But anyone who’s ever played METAL GEAR SOLID or 34 MORROWIND knows story has become much more than filler text. Today, many companies have on-staff writers who create the dialog, story elements, and history that flesh out the POSTMORTEM deep worlds of games. Stephen Jacobs interviews a number of top game writers to 34 TWO TIMING: TIMEGATE STUDIOS’ find out just what makes a good game KOHAN II AND AXIS & ALLIES wordsmith, and discovers that writing for After bursting onto the scene with KOHAN: IMMORTAL SOVEREIGNS, TimeGate games is nothing like writing books or movies.

  • Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee®
    ODDWORLD: ABE’S ODDYSEE® No menus. No inventory bars. No scorekeeping. Just infinite lives, victims to rescue and inexplicably challenging gameplay. BEGIN When you see Abe’s smiling mug, it’s time to make some decisions. Don’t panic. Take a deep breath. You can do this. If you want to dive straight into the game, select “BEGIN”. You’ll be offered the choice of a one or two player game. The two-player game won’t work unless you have two controllers. “GAMESPEAK” introduces you to Abe’s critical speech abilities. It’s cool to watch his face when you make him talk. Check it out. OPTIONS See how your controller is configured and select either stereo or mono sound. Choose “stereo”, for crying out loud! We broke our backs putting cool stereo sounds into the game, so the least you can do is listen to them. THE STORY What’s going on here? Who are those blue guys? Why does that guy with the squid head keep blowing you away? Why can’t you get a date? Read on… most (but not all) answers lie below: You are Abe, an ignorant, happy floor-waxer in RuptureFarms, the most dangerous slaughterhouse on Oddworld. You and the rest of the blue guys are Mudokons. You’ve been a slave all your life for your boss, Molluck the Glukkon. Molluck represents the Magog Cartel — the meanest bunch of corporate weasels you’ll ever meet. You start the game chained up in a cell, awaiting interrogation by Molluck the Glukkon. You’ve done something bad … something very, very bad.

  • Week 2: Game Theory // History & Origins // Industry Stats
    NMED 3300(A) // Theory and Aesthetics of Digital Games Friday Genre Discussions / Play Sessions Schedule, Spring 2016 Mondays and Wednesdays will consist of lectures. Fridays will be broken into two sessions. The first will take place in W866 where we will discuss particular genres and look at select examples. The second session will take place in W560 and will consist of hands-on gameplay (1 hour) of the games covered earlier in class. Some Rules for W560 Usage: 1. Please be considerate of others in the lab and those working in adjacent offices/classrooms by keeping noise to a minimum, 2. Please note that food and drink are not allowed in W560, except water if it is contained in a non-spillable container (with a screw-top or sealable cap) 3. Only students with official access are allowed in these labs (you cannot bring friends into the lab, sorry), 4. Please be gentle with equipment, consoles, and peripherals as a lot of the equipment is David’s personal property and much of the equipment is old and getting more difficult (if not impossible) to replace. 5. Finally, do not leave discs in consoles and make sure consoles and televisions are turned off when you are finished and that the area where you were working is clean and tidy. Notes on Gameplay Sessions in W560: Please keep the volume of the monitors and verbalizations to a minimum. Have a look at each of the games listed for that week’s gameplay sessions by consulting reviews/criticism, gameplay video, screenshots. As many games are released on multiple platforms and are often emulated, make sure you are viewing information for the correct version (platform, year).

The good vibes and learning points from the PEGI Congress in November 2010 were taken along into the new year and put to good use. PEGI is well established as the standard system for the “traditional” boxed game market as a trusted source of information for parents and other consumers. We have almost reached the point where PEGI is only unknown to parents if they deliberately choose to ignore video games entirely. A mistake, since practically every child or teenager in Europe enjoys video games. Promoting an active parental involvement in the gaming experiences of their children is a primary objective for PEGI, which situates itself at the heart of that.
