Primal Carnage Website : http://www.primalcarnage.com/website/

Combining the fast paced action of an all out multi-player FPS, and the need to accomplish specific objectives by each team member to complete a section of each level, Primal Carnage® will raise the bar for co-op gameplay.

With immersive, high fidelity sound, stunning visual and enviroments, late night pizza will be the call from your team members as you attack the next level. Can you be the top ranking Merc or Jurassic crew in the world?

Multiplayer Overview:Power Grid requires the Mercenary team to activate power nodes across the map until they have powered the radio station on the island. The Dinosaurs' objective is to stop the mercenaries from accomplishing this at all costs.Player Count: The maximum number of players per game is 20 (10v10). The minimum players to start a game is 10 (5v5). Assuming someone leaves the game during gameplay the game should automatically even out the teams or should be replaced by an AI player until another player joins.Time Limit: There is a set time limit during which the mercenary players must capture all the points. Failing to do so will cause the mercenary team to lose.

Sub-Mode B: Time will not be added when the mercenary team successfully captures a point, adding greater pressure to the mercenary team.Rounds: Each game will have a total of 2 rounds, after each round the players switch teams.

Game-Play Mechanics

Human Team Objectives:

The human team must work together as a squad, travelling across a large environment capturing key points. These points are captured when the human players hold the point for a designated amount of time. Capture all the points before the time is up to win the round.

Once a point is captured, the human players can now re-spawn at the captured location once killed.

Dino Objectives

The dinosaur team must work together to take down the human team. The main objective is to stop the humans from activating the capture points at all costs.

Score: Score is determined by how many points the human team captures, and an undetermined system will be in place to allow the dinosaur team to accumulate score points.

Survival Mode Overview:Players team up to test their skills in an epic battle against AI dinosaurs while defending a moving object (train, boat) and completing objectives together to reach the end, where they will encounter a boss battle and be required to use teamwork to succeed.Survival Rules
Player Count: The limit is 5 players per team. Difficulty is adjusted for teams starting with less than 5 players.Time Limit: Survival mode consists of a moving vehicle on a track and final destination. Each map will play until the destination is reached or players have been exterminated. Time will vary based on the amount of time it takes the team to complete objectives at key stopping locations throughout the map.Score: Score is determined by how long the team survives as well as individual statistics for kills, wounded, and other various competitive statistics.Rounds: Each round consists of an attempt to survive the longest. After the team completes the map, or is exterminated, the map is over and the next on the server list is activated."More game modes, maps, information coming soon and is subject to change during development"

Quote from EKI One® site:
"Graphically, many computer games already emulate the real world quite faithfully—but the behavior of the characters is often less authentic. The ambition of Artificial Technology GmbH is to boost artificial behavior design with EKI One® middleware for emotional and artificial intelligence.
Although Artificial Technology GmbH was established only in 2007, its founders Frank Gwosdz, Serein Pfeiffer and Daniel Renner have already been working on EKI One® since 2005. Their innovative solution for easy and efficient integration of artificial and emotional intelligence in computer and video games won the financial backing of High-Tech Gründerfonds Management GmbH, Bayern Kapital GmbH and Falk Strascheg Holding GmbH in 2008."Quote from Artificial® site:"Excitement, joy, anger, rage, fear, sorrow – developing these emotional states in game characters used to be a cumbersome process. This task has been made significantly easier with the new middleware EKI One, the user-friendly development software for computer and video games. That is because EKI One gives computer characters both intelligent and emotional characteristics, and thereby brings them to life. Not only programmers, but also designers can easily incorporate artificial intelligence in game development."Primal Carnage® utilizes the unequaled 3D rendering engine of the Unigine™."Unigine™ is a top-notch technology, that can be easily adapted to various projects due to its elaborated software design and flexible toolset."Technology Excellence
