Already available for developers on other major platforms, Kynagon today announced that Kynapse, its AI middleware tools, is now supported on the Wii, allowing developers to use the tools to empower their NPCs with advanced behavior.

Kynapse offers a complete 3D pathfinding solution handling dynamic terrains and hierarchical computations. It also includes advanced spatial reasoning functionalities to dynamically identify 3D hiding positions, threatening zones, access ways, etc. On the tool side, Kynapse automates 3D pathfinding and perception data generation. Finally, Kynapse is highly optimised and can bring to life several thousands of Non Player Characters. Although only recently available, Kynapse for Wii is already being used by 2 game developers.

The AI engine has been used in other major titles, as well as AAA games, including Crackdown, Lord of the Rings Online, as well as upcoming titles like Fable 2 and Alone in the Dark 5.
