Coreplay and Kylotonn to use xaitMap and xaitMove AI middleware.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Saarbrücken/Quierschied, Germany – August 10, 2010 – xaitment GmbH / Inc., the leading artificial intelligence (AI) game tool provider for the video games and simulations industries, today announced two new licensing agreements with European-based game developers COREPLAY GmbH and Kylotonn Entertainment. xaitment has continued to see growing success throughout Europe and worldwide as an increasing number of game developers look for the best AI middleware to incorporate into their running development pipelines.

COREPLAY, based in Munich, Germany is using xaitMap and xaitMove² to develop its upcoming title and Kylotonn, based in Paris, France, is currently using the tools in a predevelopment capacity.

xaitMap solves developers’ pathfinding and pathfollowing needs, enabling developers to create automatic navigation meshes instantly. This makes it possible for game designers to change their static geometry as often as they want while being able to quickly update their corresponding nav mesh each time – even as they are playing the game. An advanced pathfinder gives developers various modes of pathfinding, ranging from extremely fast to highly detailed. xaitMove² provides developers with a high performance movement solution for individuals and groups of game characters based on nav meshes, including formation movement and crowd simulations. xaitMove² also makes it possible for individuals and groups to avoid collisions with each other, with stationary objects and with flying or thrown objects.

xaitMap and xaitMove² are made for use with all next generation gaming platforms, including XBOX 360 TM , Playstation ® 3, Wii TM and MS Windows TM .

“We were able to quickly and easily integrate xaitment’s AI tools, an absolute must in the game development world,” said Peter Ohlmann, Technical Director and Founder of COREPLAY. “xaitment’s tools provide us optimal performance and we are very pleased with the outcome we have seen from using them in our game development.”

“It is a pleasure partnering with COREPLAY and Kylotonn,” said Andreas Gerber, Group CEO of xaitment. “We are excited to see the resulting games coming from these first-class game development studios.”

xaitment’s five AI game tools will be on display at the upcoming gamescom trade fair in Cologne, Germany, August 18-22. Interested persons may contact xaitment to set up a meeting or stop by the company’s booth (Hall 4.2, Stand J41) for a product demonstration.
