Why is AI so hard!

I'm getting ready to gut and rebuild the AI system for Part 2 of our games about Laika and am stressing out. I wrote the whole system for part one, and while it did a decent job, it's not as organic or smart as I want it to be, but figuring out how to achieve that 'intelligence' is a huge task. Oh well, time to bust out the flow charts and come up with a computer brain that seems like it is actually thinking.

Big thanks to Minicore Studios and artist Devin Lawson for sending over some beautiful, exclusive artwork for their game The Sun at Night.

If the idea of fighting cyber bears as a heroic Russian space dog intrigues you, definitely give our review a read.

For the past two and a half years (might be closer to three years) I have been working on this game. It has gone through alot of changes, tons of work, the growth of our tiny five person team to thirteen, major upgrades and design changes. Its been a major labor of love and the biggest professional challenge I have ever undertaken. And now it is done. Its a huge milestone for my life and I am very proud of it. If you got 15$ to spare, its a fun little romp with some amazing art and a very interesting story, supported by some solid game play. I hope you will take the time to support our small indie studio and that you enjoy the game. Thanks!

GUYS! BIG NEWS! The game I've been working on for the past three years, The Sun At Night is finally out! TODAY! WHOO HOO!! Check out this killer trailer put together by the very talented Jeff Flanagan, one of my animators. The score was provided by Jared Blondeau, our amazing composer. My favorite part of this trailer is the very end. Ah! So amazing!

A lot of love and hard work has been poured into this game. We started with a team of 5 and have grown to a very dedicated team of 13 people who have put together one hell of a platformer for you to enjoy.

The Sun At Night will be showing up on Desura, The Humble Store, Gamers Gate, and GOG. But the best way to buy the game is directly off our website: Minicore Studios. It's only $15 and it's about 5 to 10 hours of gameplay. Not a bad deal! Take a chance on a little indie studio and give our game a try :D Even if you can't buy it, spreading the word would be much appreciated. And at least watch the trailer because it's hella cool.

(I'll be reblogging this a few times today, just to give everyone a heads up. Gotta get the word out!)

BIG NEWS! Tumblewords, the first iOS game the little studio I work for has created, is available to purchase through the App Store today! I drew two of the tile set themes for this game and I'm super proud to have worked on it. Tumblewords is a word game that's so goddamn much fun to play. I get lost for hours! I'm sad that I don't have an iOS device of my own to play it on and have to resort to using our test devices here at work. Still, if you have an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or iPad mini please consider dropping a whole $.99 to try out this awesome game.

Here's a link to where you can get it in the App Store :D

And check out the rad trailer our new animator made for it!

And please, if anyone out there is willing to spread the word I'd be so grateful. We're all so excited here at Minicore Studios!
