You want to make your AI more human-like, but recognizing the pattern is the hard part. The next step is seeing where your bot breaks and why. Here's a kit for that:

Marv is a genius and totally understands what makes an RTS fun. ZeroSpace is really shaping up to be awesome!

Saw brood war and got excited

I’m glad the work went into the AI. Hope much of this work made it into the campaign. RTS campaigns tend to get stale once you play them more than once. Having a more adaptable AI sounds great for replays

Just wanna mention this guy does a great job explaining the intricaies of Snowballing RTS. That was a fantastic explaination

It's funny seeing this and the PC Gamer article highlighting how focused on MP ZeroSpace is.

I wish they'd invest more on improving their UI too

Possible exploit worth a try: Group slow and fast units together and then only use the fast units for a quick attack.

Its a rule of the universe where a creation can never be greater then its creator

versusai, how long does it take you to edit your videos? And who’s your editor?

@megaboto.t.1.0 2 months ago

Well...I'll believe it when I see it. But I think that, if the ai is really good, it'll be a topic that people like grant games or lowko will talk about, so it should make ripples in the genre if it's true. So, I'll patiently wait - the cut scenes at the very least are amazing so I wanna play the game for myself, if only for them

I highly enjoyed playing the broodwar mod 'cosmonachy'. Perhaps if you need a video idea, an interview with that developer would be pretty interesting.
