It’s certainly difficult to imagine the strategic, wall and tower building genre being squeezed into the mould of a first person shooter, but indie developer Coffee Stain Studios achieved just that with 2011’s Sanctum.

The original Golden Eye for the N64, for example. Or The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay for the Xbox. But these are anomalies….
Tracy Seamster’s “1001 Faces of NPCs” at East Coast Game Conference I attended Tracy Seamster’s talk on building realistic and engaging non-player characters (NPCs) at the East Coast Game Conference.
