MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - January 13, 2009 - Middleware developer BabelFlux, LLC announced today that NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. has licensed its AI middleware package, NavPower, for multiple titles, including the upcoming Afro Samurai® videogame.
NavPower accelerates game development with its rapid, high quality 3-D navmesh auto-generation technology. As a proven middleware solution, it enables developers to reliably achieve results at a fraction of the cost of in house development.
