AI.implant is an Artificial Intelligence tool and middleware solution that provides professional game developers and training & simulation experts with a solid foundation for building truly realistic and dynamic game environments. Obviously results such as the above movie take time, for a quick start overview the next movie provides a good insight into creating your first agents:
We will have more on AI-Implant and hopefully 'SimTown' running on the Gamebryo engine by Emergent Games Technologies in a forthcoming post.
