Megapop Games has announced that the update ‘AI Uprising’ for Haxity it’s already available on Steam. This is the second major update for the game after it’s Early Access release half a month ago and introduces a revamp to AI enemy characters’ behavior and strategies for Campaign mode, specially improving the experience for new players, and general balance updates and fixes.
With the new changes AI now tries to predict which hacks you might hold, while using that knowledge to figure out a good play sequence. It does so using an improved algorithm for determining how strong its position is, compared to the player.
‘The AI is now playing smarter with the Hacks they have, and are now mimicking a human opponent to a larger degree. You can expect the AI to do proper setups, baits, feints and in general not waste hacks,’ said Christian Tellefsen, CTO at Megapop Games.
In addition, an AI can now gain specific preferences. Some Ais might like playing particular cards or combos, even if they are perhaps not the strongest possible. Players will be able to watch out for this to use it to their advantage!
Megapop will continue developing and improving Haxity, with a new update coming in few weeks that will include a new game mode and features to improve the PvP experience.
