Deadline Games chooses Kynapse

Copenhagen-based developer Deadline Games has signed up to use Kynogon’s Kynapse middleware.

The AI tool will be used for the artificial intelligence solution in the studio’s proprietory next-gen engine, called Kapow.

Previously, the company produced Total Overdose and Chili Con Carnage for Eidos.

“We were looking for a solution for AI for inclusion into the second generation of our Kapow engine that will form the basis of our production for all of our next-gen titles." explained Per Kyed Laursen, production manager at Deadline Games.

"We found that the combination of functionalities and tools, the quality and responsiveness of the technical support, the overall performance and hardware acceleration for next-gen platforms made Kynapse the obvious choice for our AI needs.”

Pierre Pontevia, CEO of Kynogon, added: “Deadline Games have shown their commitment to making games that have solid technology and that are great fun to play, and we look forward to working with them on their future projects."
