The Weyr

Discussion: Single Player A.I.

No chapters for a bit-I am on vacation away from home until Sunday. 

So I figured I would type this up real quick and see what people have to say...Hopefully Watt-pad does not shut this down...

How do you all feel about the Day of Dragon's potential single player?

What do you expect?

What are you hoping for?

Here are some things I personally think would be awesome but do not expect to happen and some things I know they are working on:

Various A.I. 

First off, I hope they will have a bunch of Ai to hunt. Flying, swimming, running, slithering, ect. I know they have a lot planned, but so far we have only seen two. I have not seen much else of what they are planning except the bi-pedal yellow  things, the bugs, and the screenshots in the loading screen. 

I imagine they will probably have some that will run from you and some that will hunt you. It would be neat if the runners would occasionally stand to defend themselves as well like a real animal might.

Another kind of AI I want to see in single player is...well...dragons! Wouldn't that be awesome? I imagine it could be if they did it right. Maybe not every kind of dragon, but at least the base species.

A.I. Interactions

This is mainly in regards to my dream of dragon A.I. 

I thought it would be fantastic if there were different A.I. interactions with the dragons. Especially the babies. What if they made it so you could adopt a baby A.I. dragon and slowly start a weyr in single player? 

Some could be easier than others; for example those that are the same breed as you would be more willing. Perhaps simply picking them up would get them to follow you or be friendly toward you and rely on you. You could take them to a pond and they would drink and then go hide in a bush until you 1 called to them. Then they would follow you back to food. If you curled up to sleep they would cuddle up with you.

It would also be awesome to be able to communicate with A.I. through the different calls. 1 call could call dragons friendly or neutral to you over to where you called. 2 call would scare off those who are frightened of you or neutral to you, 3 call could obviously make dragons more friendly toward you, and 4 call would cause babies allied to you to hide and adults allied to you to run to your aid.

I would love to see something like that implemented into the game, but I can only imagine the work and time that would need to go into that to get it working. That's why I would never expect it to actually happen...but how great would that be?

What are some of your ideas regarding the single player mode and A.I.?

What do you know will be happening with single player or A.I?

Anywho, time for my vacation. New chapter will be out either the day I get back or the day after.

Bye-bye!
