Video games

The current and increasing video games’ developments enable players to explore various and rich worlds, to meet several characters and to use increasingly creative actions sets.

Despite the online games’ growth, major part of universes’ components remains managed by computer and by rules. These rules, originally basic and binary, tend to evolve with the aim to simulate intelligence in their decision making and in characters’ behaviors (individual or group).

Normind proposes to go further in characters’ intelligence, enabling them to analyze, to understand, to learn and to share experiences.



Applications
Group Management

Current management of groups, such as armies for instance, lies on scenarios and basic rules. Concretely, a group will refuse to fight or not depending on the estimated or real enemy’s strength ; existing engines rarely deal with fight strategy’s definition and execution.

With Normind, these groups can benefit from each individual’s knowledge in order to adopt a coherent behavior : if a soldier has fought with your character, then this soldier’s group will be suspicious, maybe aggressive against you. Or worst, the group could go chasing you…
By extension, groups can also learn and design their own action plans, combining with coherency past experiences and original rules.

All areas of a gaming universe being able to use this king of intelligent engine, each gamer can enjoy his own universe, with a unique evolution, thus multiplying potential worlds to explore and so increasing game’s interest and durability.

Pet's education

To add a pet to gamer character for supporting him in his game exploration appears to be one of the recent trends. This pet behaves as a 3rd arm, executing gamer orders.
Normind proposes to give more autonomy to this assistant, enabling it to learn, to think so that it could anticipate and act regarding occurring situations.
The relationship between gamer and pet then becomes a major component of the game. The gamer has now to prove his ability and his competitivity in his pet training.
