October 2025:

Given the massively increased popularity of Chess960 (AKA: Fischer Random Chess and Freestyle Chess), we have upgraded our chess program to support this.

This game attracts big prize money, second only to Chess, and is popular with the top Chess players, including Magnus Carlsen.

It re-invigorates chess, offering 960 possible randomised start positions and avoids the dependence on chess book knowledge.

AI Factory's core activity is the development of traditional and casual games created around quality AI game engines, with an easy-to-use and feature-rich interface, including a high level of characterisation. We have developed complete game software on PC, console and mobile.
Alongside quality 2D games, AI Factory has created lavish 3D versions of a selection of classic games, bringing traditional games up-to-date with other genres in the games industry.
We have state-of-the-art AI game engines for an ever-growing range of casual games, including traditional board games, and parlour pastimes from East and West (chess, bridge, backgammon, reversi, shogi, chinese chess, chinese checkers, go, amazons, checkers, four in a line, gomoku and many more), classic card games (bridge, poker, hearts, spades and euchre), puzzles (taipei, dominoes, treasure hunt and others) and life-simulations (including darts, pool, snooker and football).
Many of these game names are instantly recognisable brands, as well as sitting firmly in the casual games genre, currently a fast growing gaming market.
