Dark Photon Studio<p>Experience the weirdness of AI Quake II. It's like playing a dream of a game. I love all the weird, surreal artifacts. Enemies phase in and out of existence. You move your mouse and suddenly appear in a different part of the map. And the controls are terrible. But! I also marvel at how coherent the spaces are. A while back, I read about Google recreating Doom as a playable internal demo, that they never released. I gotta give props to Microsoft for making this demo available. It's fascinating stuff.</p><p><a href="https://copilot.microsoft.com/wham?features=labs-wham-enabled" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">copilot.microsoft.com/wham?fea</span><span class="invisible">tures=labs-wham-enabled</span></a></p><p><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/aigenerated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aigenerated</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>games</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gaming</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/quakeii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quakeii</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/quake2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quake2</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>microsoft</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/museai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>museai</span></a></p>
