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

Our heads have been down for a long time dealing with many issues, exacerbated by the pandemic. However progress has continued, but at a slower pace.

Our most recent release has been the latest update to Spades Free. This is an important app for us and has consumed the vast majority of our AI work over the last 5 years.

The most significant gains were from a radically new bidding system.

This new release is the cumulation of much work on Nil play, particularly double Nil. Nil play is the most challenging part of Spades AI.

It's looking good.

AI Factory's core activity is the development of traditional and casual games created around quality AI game engines, with an easy-to-use and feature-rich interface, including a high level of characterisation. We have developed complete game software on PC, console and 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 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.
