Does anyone read this Blog anymore?
I thought this would be a good place to announce a new game AI research project that I am launching in approx two weeks. I welcome the public to participate in this project. More accurately, I need the public to participate in this project. My research requires collecting data from over 1,000 people playing a short computer game (takes ~10 minutes). This project explores an alternative approach to authoring AI behaviors, and blurs the boundary between game players and game designers.
I will post again soon with more information when the game is ready for download, for WindowsXP and possibly Mac OSX too.

Posted by: mat buckland at February 13, 2007 08:44 AMSeems like lot of people still read this blog and you'll have all our support !
Will you post more information on the approach/idea and the data collected (or is it some confidential research project)?
Anyway, I look forward to it !
Posted by: Gabriel Ware at February 15, 2007 09:56 AMFantastic! 14 willing volunteers is a good start. Thanks for responding everyone!
The project should be online next week...
Just tying up a few loose ends.
Posted by: jorkin at February 16, 2007 03:16 PMGabriel, sorry I forgot to respond to your question. Yes I will post more about the project. When the project is complete, I will share the data collected (with names removed), and any papers we write about the algorithms we develop. It's not confidential -- it's academia after all -- but I don't want to influence the data collected.
