AI Factory are specialists in providing quality, easy-to-use traditional and casual AI game engine licences, superior AI characterisation and full 2D and 3D games for PC, console and mobile.

This month we are rolling out our first directly published puzzle game Move it!™ on Android. This is the puzzle to fill the void that should have been filled by successors to the genius Yoshigahara's famous "Rush Hour" block puzzle. This void has opened because of the sheer difficulty of synthesising such puzzles. Move it!™ removes the restrictions that Rush Hour imposed, adding greater richness to a game with a simpler format. This "simplicity" hides puzzles of great potential complexity and elegance!

Move it!™ been a long term project of AI Factory. By combining our existing technology that has taken our Shogi program twice to world rank 3rd, with new technology developed for puzzle creation, we finally cracked this difficult task. We already have a successor to Move it!™ in production and will follow with many more from this attractive genre.

Move it!™ will be rolled out shortly on iPhone, iPad and Antix, with more platforms to follow!

AI Factory's core activity is the development of quality AI game engines for traditional and casual games, presented with an easy-to-use and feature-rich interface, including a high level of characterisation, shared by all engines. This game engine resource is licensed to third party developers worldwide for the easy-to-implement development of complete game software on PC, console or mobile.

We also create full retail products - artwork, rendering engines and AI - in-house. 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 and affordable brands, as well as sitting firmly in the casual games genre, currently a fast growing gaming market.

AI Factory deliver fast, high quality products (whether engines or full games), in a friendly and professional manner. All products have a shared interface for simple implementation, are fully supported and pass quickly through QA, keeping our customers happy.
