Finite state machines (FSM) are algorithms that determine how NPCs react to various player actions and environmental contexts. At its simplest a finite state machine defines various ‘states’ for the NPC AI to inhabit, based on in-game events. NPCs can transition from one state to another based on the context and act accordingly. If the NPC is designed to be hostile to the player character, seeing the player may lead it to run toward them and attack them. Defeating this NPC may impel it to run away, to go into a submissive mode, or simply enter the death state (i.e., die).😎

The 2D indie games of the 2000s had unique aesthetics and did not generally mimic the look of an 8-bit or 16-bit game. But from the 2010s onwards, new techniques allowed developers to create an authentic ‘retro’ look. Shovel Knight (2014), made with a custom engine, was so similar in appearance to the games of the ’80s and ’90s that some gamers believed it could be played on the NES console. 😘😎

What is Video Game Metadata?
Metadata describes an item, i.e. it is any information that summarizes basic details about the item, which can make finding and working with particular data easier. For example, the ingredients listed behind a box of cookies is metadata describing the contents of the cookie.

Similarly, video game metadata refers to descriptors about the game that not only give you an overview of the game like the developer’s name, publisher’s name, release date, game description, and so on, but it also helps the people using this video game data easily understand what the game has to offer without having to purchase or play the game themselves.

Trying to understand video game metadata? Read this blog to learn everything about metadata for video games and why you may need it.

Those player stats were also shared in an infographic of some of what players have been up to over just the past year. Well, the top causes of player deaths sheds some light on things. Other players came in at number one, with over 2.8 million, while crocodiles slayed an impressive nearly 1.5 million. After this were hyenas taking the third spot (no pun intended) with a million, followed by thirst and hunger.

The dominant trend in the latter half of the 2010s was the rise of the hero shooter and the battle royale, two genres that became wildly popular across platforms from PC and console to mobile.
