xaitment integrates xaitEngine into Vision Engine
Trinigy’s Vision Game Engine now contains multi-platform support for xaitment’s AI solution
Saarbrücken, Germany – May 28, 2009 - xaitment GmbH, one of the leading developers and service providers of artificial intelligence for the games and simulation industries, and Trinigy, a leading provider of 3D game engines with offices in Germany and Austin, TX, announced today that xaitment’s AI technology – the xaitEngine – is now integrated into Trinigy’s Vision EngineTrinigy’s Vision Engine is one of the world most advanced and widely-used game engines for PC and console games. Numerous teams across four continents are using the Vision Engine to create games in a range of genres.
The xaitEngine is the leading technology for advanced artificial intelligence in games and simulations. The xaitEngine’s modular approach enables games developers to easily incorporate both highly complex AI for simulated behaviors and lower-level AI for game control, application logic and animation.
The xaitEngine’s integration into Vision Engine 7 gives all Trinigy licensees the opportunity to easily combine advanced artificial intelligence with superior graphics and gameplay.
The xaitEngine is designed from the ground up to support the needs of game designers, artists and programmers alike, and to integrate seamlessly into game pipelines and applications. Its modular design gives teams the choice to integrate all the AI features they need or just the AI functionality they want for their specific title. Due to the intuitive, graphical interface of xaitment’s application, even the most advanced NPC (non-player character) behaviors can be integrated without one line of code. These unique features simplify the whole workflow of a game production and allow development teams to create more immersive games faster and more cost-effectively.
“We are pleased about the integration of xaitment,” adds Felix Roeken, General Manager of Trinigy. “We have received a lot of requests for the xaitEngine. I’m glad that we can now offer our clients a solid multi-platform connection which allows them to use the two technologies immediately.”
The two solutions are available separately. Large and small developers can purchase the entire xaitEngine or any of its stand-alone modules for demo purposes or full development projects.
