EDIT- The "official" name was Orgasm AI(later changed to OMFGasm AI), but obviously I can't use that name as a forum post title, so even though it's still a working title, all "official" printed documentation will use Awesomesauce AI as the name.

The name pokes fun at how developers will often name their AI scripts with some epic sounding name like "Euphoria" or "Radiant" as if they were really that awesome and would be bought by third-parties. They are always terrible of course, and never bought by anyone, so when I came up with idea for a crappy script-AI that would serve my purposes but would still probably suck, I had this in mind.

That being said, the idea for this AI is to have a state system, where different states are triggered by different events, such as getting shot at or even just bumping into someone. Each state could have a number of options dependent on the stats and inventory of the bot. A bot with a high "Badass" or aggression stat might fight back if attacked, regardless of armament, whereas a bot with more moderate aggression might fight back if armed, and one with no aggression at all would cower in a corner and cry. There would also be functions for generating NPCs based on themes, like modern civilian, or futuristic cop.
Having a state-machine powered AI would be pretty cool, but it might be good to....come up with a somewhat less sexual name, such as the one I've changed the topic title too.
Seconded, based on seeing what he suggested in IRC. The concept sounds pretty cool though, I'd be very interested in seeing where you could take it.
How about OMFGasm AI?
Nooooo nooooooo..you can't have gasm in your name..it's too immature...okgmogmogmogmogmogmogmogmogkggkogoogmgmogmo
... Feedback, you're not going to continue on very far with that attitude. And, DShiznit: no.

True. as far as the gasm thing has to stop. why cant you just stop your self from this sort of thing?
I think we're more or less frowning on the suffix "gasm" (or other sexually suggestive themes) as a descriptor for content releases associated with FreeBuild (at least for anything released through official Cemetech channels), due to the fairly young audience we think will be attracted to a Lego game, and due to Cemetech's desire to maintain a fairly family friendly atmosphere. I guess to some extent I also don't see the need for the use of such themes as a parody of hyperbole in the naming schemes of other AI scripts when other adjectives could convey similar hyperbole without losing the family-friendly atmosphere. (Organism AI for example would be fairly "cool" sounding, though my own suggestion for this project was Super-Duper Awesomesauce AI)

I have no desire to curtail your creative juices, I'd just like to see them directed in a slightly more constructive manner, and certainly if you and FeedBack decide you would like to release sexually suggestive content for FreeBuild we won't stop you from doing so, but you'll have to host your own distribution channels/website for it, which I don't think should be a huge problem for you guys.

nicely put.
Except "Super-Duper Awesomesauce" isn't funny, it's just gay. "Awesomesauce AI" by itself would work, but throwing in a bunch of adjectives only makes it look more forced and less naturally funny. I'll change the title, but "Orgasm AI" and "OMFGasm AI" will still be working titles, if not used on any printed documentation.
what about WTFROFL AI?
No

That's my point


PS. CyberPrime, that is EXACTLY what you said.
That being said, sex does and will continue to exist whether you acknowledge it or not. And I can guarantee just about anyone who's been around the internet long enough to come across Cemetech was on a porn site 4 links ago...
What did I say, Feedback? The point is that we will not endorse any explicitly sexual content on Cemetech, or in what we release in Freebuild.

EDIT: Be that as it may, DShiznit, we don't need to promote such themes.

Just try and remember that there's a time and a place. Wink Now may be the time, for some of you, but a game whose primary audience has a high proportion of prepubescents is not really place.

Thus making children gay
Don't be a dick feedback, kids generally don't have the desire for procreation in any form, thus they cannot be classified as "gay" or "straight". That's not to say there aren't some, a girl at my lunch table has been blowing guys since age 12, but generally kids focus more on being kids than making them.
Shiznit, I appreciate your being understanding on this subject.

FeedBack, I'm sorry you feel that way, and I hope you change your mind.
