At last! Is he going to do it on its own or with IB as originally planned?
Or I could just read the blog I guess...

IB wrote a lot of the code for Darkness Falls and he seems to be merging this and adding to it for the new game.

Sounds good. 
But: It has been done before. If this will be better depends mostly on AI. In most games it's more like AD (artificial dumbness). For example: when playing call of duty I'm often tempted to shoot my own men, because they can't hit a barn door but are very good at running into my line of sight (and line of fire). And the smart autopilot in FFE wasn't very smart. I hope it will work.

There are only 10 types of Jamesons in the Ooniverse. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
