Lukewarm Media and EKI One join forces to bring dinosaurs to life in the game 'Primal Carnage'. Primal Carnage is a co-operative multiplayer action shooter combining fast paced action with stunning visuals and immersive environment of dangerous and savage jungles.
The following paragraph discusses the collaboration in detail.
When developing a game there are many hurdles for the programming team. One of the largest is creating your AI. There are multiple game engines on the market with their own AI system integrated into their software, however they all require you to develop the AI routines in either the engine source or scripts, which you need to reload your levels to test these routines. EKI One® creates a new pipeline for developing AI which blows away these antiquated steps that are used throughout the gaming industry.
EKI One® allows developers to visually design their behaviors using a visual scripting system, like that of Unreal's Kismet. However unlike Kismet, developers can delve deeper into the scripting system and change the actual code inside the visual objects without ever restarting the software. This shorten the development time by turning the design stage into beginning programming stages. Once the developer is satisfied with their logic they are then able to test their creation inside of EKI One®'s 3D world where you are able to load up your levels and test how the logic works in your level.
EKI One® has the ability to create a navigation mesh which lets your AI know where it can and cannot go. EKI One® allows you to quickly design, create, test, and integrate AI into your game all inside an easy to used SDK.
"Ashton Andersen and Michael Wetherill, together with their talented team have proven that an independent developers' ideas, motivation, professionalism and unique skills of its team can achieve the creation of high quality games. At Artificial Technology, our vision with AI goes hand in hand with the ambition of highly talented teams such as Lukewarm Media. We all want to make virtual worlds as authentic as possible. We want to help independent game developers to achieve this goal, so we have provided our EKI One technology to Lukewarm Media. I think that Primal Carnage can set a new standard for games that feature dinosaurs, which historically, have been extremely rare in the game market. Primal Carnage has much potential, because it brings together a successful game play mechanism, amazing art and assets, and unique ideas into one big package."
Frank Gwosdz – CEO Artificial Technology GmbH
“Working with EKI One® is something every indie developer dreams about, their support and dedicated team has been a joy and has made development easy, fun, and motivating. EKI One® understands the support indie developers need and are very flexible and always willing to work directly with their clients. Using EKI One® will simplify our A.I process which will allow my team and I to focus more on other areas of development while still being insured that we will have ground breaking A.I systems with a click of a button. On a personal side Artificial Technology has been very helpful with advice, direction, and anything else we need. I hope to work with EKI One® for many years and will continue to work with them to bring great products that feature the EKI One® A.I system.”
Ashton Andersen, CEO Lukewarm Media
About Primal Carnage
Primal Carnage is a co-operative multiplayer action shooter combining fast paced action with stunning visuals and immersive environment of dangerous and savage jungles.
The game is set on an abandoned military controlled island where an experiment gone awry unleashing colossal dinosaurs out of control. A team of tough mercenaries have been dispatched to prove to be indigestible and contain the threat. A player can choose any of the opposing forces: selecting human side brings the first-person experience, while dinosaurs are controlled from a third-person perspective. With each faction containing unique abilities and each mission having various objectives, Primal Carnage will offer gamers a balanced and highly competitive gameplay experience.
What makes the game unique?
Primal Carnage is one of the few games based around Dinosaurs (ever wanted to play as a T-Rex?)
Team focused online gameplay with 5 human and 5 dinosaur playable characters
Several game modes: Survival (4 variations), Capture The Point, single player storyline
Arcade style fun that’s simple and easy to pick up and play at any time
Long term support with DLC
Mods SDK, custom content support
Primal Carnage is planned for release for the Windows and Linux operating systems in Q4 2010. More info is available on the official website of the game: www.primalcarnage.com
