Thought this would be relevant to put here. This is a repost of the column I wrote for Game Developer Magazine's monthly "Inner Product" column for the January 2011 issue. I had forgotten that I had permission to post it 3 months after it appeared. *shrug*
Anyway, there's a ton of good information in it, so it might help out a lot of people here.

My wife has the penchant for answering somewhat cryptically, “I could be.” (This is usually less convenient than it sounds.)

Oh the pains of dealing with others. Great read... would you say it's better to build an ai around "needs" rather than "haves". ie don't react on what I have but what I need right now?

Nice post Dave.
Thanks... considering I threw it together in a few hours because of their deadline, I figured it came out alright.

It has to be a combination of a number of factors. What do I have? What do I want to accomplish? What do I need in order to accomplish that?
