Wow this is just a fragment of how the AI could be used for NPC interactions in games in the near future. I don't know if i'm really exaggerating but i'm very impressed and inspired by this experimantal demo. I like that you make the level similar to the robot hangar scene from the movie I Robot. You definitely need to expand this into a full Blade Runner adventure game. God i imagine conducting a touring test to replicant NPCs with the power of AI !! In every playthrough the replicant will be a different NPC and you can't predict how those NPCs will react, one of them can just draw their pistol and shoot you or one of them can try to escape. It's scary but also very exciting! AI will certainly revolutionize video games in the near future
I'm following your itch.io account and i'll be looking forward to your future projects. I loved this game and rated 5 stars to everything. I wish you all the best in your career and for your future projects!!!

Wow thank you for the kind words! I'm humbled! And yes, the I,Robot scene is what inspired this, the robots name is actually the same as the movie. I couldn't find a model of the robot from the movie so I cobbled together my own. Each time you play in this game it does randomize the gameplay. I had originally wanted to expand the functionality of the robots so that you didn't have to have the keypad to order them to move and instead just voice command them to perform the actions. I just didn't have enough time for that. I also wanted to make it so pulling out the gun would cause some of the defective robots to flinch or the deviant robot to say something. I thought that would make it more involved rather than just checking to see which robots had a delay. I think I will go back and add a tutorial level before the main level as a final touch after the ratings end. Thanks for the follow! I have another Jam game coming out in 2days! The Cozy Autumn game Jam... Completely different than this one. ;)
