E.N.F.E.R. Update [0.3.5] Now Available

Hey everyone,


The E.N.F.E.R. update [0.3.5] is now live! This minor update packs a punch, as it unlocks access to the E.N.F.E.R. module, a tool where the brains behind the game operate. We thought E.N.F.E.R. was not having enough of a challenge managing the Sophon empire, so we've put it in charge of the ES2 AI. How does it work? Well, it's rather simple to get in and start tinkering with forces beyond your understanding, simply start the game and type in http://localhost:4377/ in your browser (currently only Chrome & Firefox supported).


For a more detailed version of how this works, check out the stream we did, which mostly worked, and then Wilbefast's thread explaining the basics. More details on how things work tomorrow, but as soon as the update hits (later today), you can get tinkering!



RELEASE NOTES [0.3.5]


[AI]

  • Connected to self-contained E.N.F.E.R. online AI module accessible once the game is running from http://localhost:4377/



Any questions on how things work? Ask Wilbefast over in his thread!

This is really cool, but in my games, I do not have time to look at an AI debugger. I'd rather play the game. There is so much new information to track and learn. I wish you could make more of this.

I'm not sure you're looking at this in entirely the right way Nasarog - this is just one of our development tools that we're opening up for people who are curious about how the AI works. Not everyone is interested in digging through XML files looking for spoilers, not everyone is interested in making mods, and not everyone needs to be


Sharing our development process with the community is what G2G is all about though, and some people are super interested in this kind of stuff. Frankly this is the kind of thing I would be drooling over if I hadn't already had access to it* and I think there are a great many students, indies, modders, and even "industry" (is there a word for "not indie"?) game developers who will be very interested in taking a look at how ENFER makes its decisions!


* I've seen ENFER's brain, now I only need to take a peek into Kaizen-85's and I'll be able to die a happy man

This is awesome, how can you possibly be against this?


The more tools, the better! Can't wait to see what people come up with using mods AND the brains of ES2.
