Age of Fable
- http://www.ageoffable.net/
- I like the pictures that accompany the text.
- At first I found it boring, but I gradually got more and more involved in the universe that it was discussing; it was kind of like being hypnotized into forgetting about my life and instead being sucked into a dream.
- It seems like in order to get sucked into the dream you need to have it be different enough that you won't be reminded of things that you're encountering in your real life, but similar enough that people can understand the images you're trying to convey.
AI War
General thoughts
- First impression from reading the developer's prose in the tutorials is that this guy sounds competent.
...
- The battle AI doesn't behave as a human opponent would. :/
- It'd be nice if the AI got smarter as you increased the difficulty in the same way that chess programs get smarter (being able to see further into the future).
