Autodesk announced that it has completed the acquisition of Kynogon SA, the
privately held maker of Kynapse artificial intelligence middleware. Kynapse has
been used to develop more than 65 AAA game titles, including Alone in the Dark
5, Crackdown, Fable 2 and The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar.
Kynapse gives characters spatial awareness, enabling them to realistically
navigate digital environments.
Marc Petit, Senior VP, Autodesk Media and Entertainment said, "The future of
video games is about more believable characters and environments. Due to the
increasing complexity of video games, developers are adopting commercial
middleware solutions such as Kynapse and Autodesk HumanIK to improve game play
and to stay on time and on budget." Page(s) 1
