Year two and final year of the Diploma just about to start.
Anyone tried the Steam platform on the mac? I'm impressed. I've just completed half life 2 episode 1 and have started episode two. Great to see Alex start to exhibit a wider range of emotions and a bit more personality. All we need to crack is player to npc conversation and we're on our way!
Speaking of npc personality possibilities...
We're not a million miles away from game environments configuring themselves to player personality (inferred from exhibited behaviour) so it's a nano step to clone these for use by npcs. Have a look at what's available out there on personality types and traits. Key words such as MBTI and 16PF should do the trick. It's all there waiting to be plugged in.
Talking about technologies waiting to be plugged in, check out Numenta. This company has a radically different, and I think significantly more attractive approach to AI and perception. Fancy getting your pc to recognise your facial features? Fancy getting your NPC's to recognise your real world players facial features? I've been tracking Numenta over five years now and I reckon its about go to large. See what you think, have a look at the free downloads from Numenta at http://www.numenta.com/
I'll finish with a shameless plug for media activities underway. I'm getting a bunch of creatives together under the banner of The Falcon Creative, currently we've got a scriptwriter / director, and two singer songwriters from Glasgow, now moved to Oxford. We're aiming to launch in Spring 2011. See http://www.faconcreativeuk.co.uk/
