AI Factory are specialists in providing quality, casual AI game engines, superior AI characterisation and full 2D and 3D games for PC, console and mobile.

AI Factory is gradually sharing its development knowledge via the AI Factory Quarterly/Biannual Periodical, but recently also published a chapter in Steve Rabin's Game AI Pro 3: Collected Wisdom of Game AI Professionals, following on from our previous contribution to Game AI Pro 2: Collected Wisdom of Game AI Professionals.

The AI Factory Periodical not only shares our knowledge and experiences but is also helpful for us to dissect and present development issues we have had. This forces us to analyse and understand these, and as a consequence have a better comprehension of what we learned to feed back into our follow-on development. Writing it all down for others to read helps us!

AI Factory's core activity is the development of quality AI game engines for traditional and casual games, presented with an easy-to-use and feature-rich interface, including a high level of characterisation, shared by all engines. These game engines are currently used in the development of complete game software on PC, console or mobile.

Alongside quality 2D games, AI Factory has created lavish 3D versions of a selection of classic games, bringing traditional games up-to-date with other genres in the games industry.

We have state-of-the-art AI game engines for an ever-growing range of casual games, including traditional board games, and parlour pastimes from East and West (chess, bridge, backgammon, reversi, shogi, chinese chess, chinese checkers, go, amazons, checkers, four in a line, gomoku and many more), classic card games (bridge, poker, hearts, spades and euchre), puzzles (taipei, dominoes, treasure hunt and others) and life-simulations (including darts, pool, snooker and football).

Many of these game names are instantly recognisable and affordable brands, as well as sitting firmly in the casual games genre, currently a fast growing gaming market.

AI Factory produce a free publication that includes articles on game AI and engineering. You can sign up for this periodical for free, to get your own copies of these articles and keep up to date with other AI Factory announcements.
