xaitMap

Saarbrücken/Quierschied, Germany – May 4, 2010 – xaitment GmbH / Inc., the leading artificial intelligence (AI) game tool provider for the computer games and simulations industries, today announced that it will offer its AI game development tool, xaitMap, to Tencent, one of the China’s leading game operators, publishers and developers. The deal reinforces xaitment’s presence in Asia and establishes the company as the prominent AI game middleware provider.

xaitMap is an AI game development tool used to generate navigation meshes. The tool allows developers to specify where their computer-controlled characters can and cannot go through the large spaces of their game world. The tool also features a graphical user interface that makes using the tool, especially for those with little programming background, quite natural. Game studios can easily integrate xaitMap into their existing game development platforms, and studios that normally create their AI in-house can significantly reduce their budgets by using xaitment’s AI game tools.

“Tencent is not only one of the top developers and operators of online games in China, but also a trendsetter,” said Andreas Gerber, xaitment’s Group CEO. “By choosing xaitment, Tencent is investing in the trend of using AI middleware to reduce the costs associated with game production – enabling them to create amazing games while saving time and money. We are thrilled to provide Tencent with the solutions and support they are looking for.”
