What are the 4 game developers ingame/forun names?

I ask because i've noticed in alot of threads in the generel and suggestions area's that a fair few people anwer questions in a very factful type of way, I would just like to know when i'm reading a thread if its a dev, or if its just a player that thinks he knows whats happening? (this is the reason I asked for 'badges' on developer names :-)

There is quite a few topics in the suggestons area that would be nice to see if the devs have read them or not, since some ideas in there are great :-)

Incarnate, a1k0n, raybondo, and Vlad are the four devs.

thx :-)

Vlad is also known as Waylon.

And Forum Moderator is the Guide, which is sort of a demidev.

Yes, a lot of the ideas in there are great and I would love to implement some of them. However, we're only 4 people and only 2 are programmers. It takes longer than you think to implement some of the ideas and test it to make sure they don't have undesired side effects.

Now, if I could clone myself...

Funny you should say that. . .

yup, i fully understand that things take time to implement, main reason I wanted to know the dev names was to see when it was a dev saying giving a definat answer, or a player who thinks he knows the answer via asumption answering :-)

Too bad I decided not to finish my PhD... :P
Oct 07, 2004 roguelazer link
Yeah, but wouldn't that be a PhD in education?

Actually I have a masters in biological anthropology was well as the masters in teaching... So I have a background in human genetics.

Perhaps a genetic algorithm to teach the bots maneuvers? :D

a .. genetic algorithm...
er.

hmm a1k0n could probably do machine learning for the bots, but that'd be scary!

I'm actually planning on it.

Fix the aim and the current AI won't be so boring any more ... ;)

Methinks this should be stickied. Or added to the FAQ.

Be funny if the bot AI code evolved into Skynet.

Keep an eye out, eh?
