Robocalypse - Beaver Defense is out

Updated 07.06.2010
Nintendo Life 8/10
This is a fun tower defence game with enough unique features and strategic elements to keep it interesting and a sense of humour to set it apart from its competitors. While it suffers presentation-wise, don't let that throw you off as for those who enjoy the genre, this one's a must-have.

IGN 7/10
The silly style's still the same, but this is a whole different kind of Robocalypse.

Robocalypse - Beaver Defense is out! I was the lead programmer on this project and also did some management. It's a "tower defense" style game for Nintendo WiiWare.

"Set in a world of wise-cracking, battling robots, Robocalypse - Beaver Defense offers madcap weaponry and uproarious destruction in a “tower defense” style game. Players create and strategically position towers to annihilate waves of enemy robots, while player-controlled Hero robots act as mobile weapons units, bringing heavy firepower to all areas of the battlefield. Players can experience the hilarious Story Mode or face the Beaver's never-ending supply of robots in Survival Mode."

Paris Game AI Conference 2010

The annual Paris Game AI Conference will take place in June, 23-24th and I'm attending. I hope that Katla will not decide to erupt these days.

It's a small event dedicated entirely to the Game AI. It's quite popular, all tickets were sold out in the end of April. After that Alex Champandard, who organizes the conference, found a new, bigger place. And now he has a new problem - to sell all new tickets.

Thanks to Google I can look at the place from my Moscow flat.


The conference is in English. Program is here Program Highlights. Twitter hashtag is #AIGD10.
