It is so nice to see how you develop the ai and what are the reasons for what. Even if I am not a developer it is such a nice feeling to know some tiny pieces about how what works in a game and how long it takes to reach that and what steps it takes to finish this.

That jump prediction thing looks pretty awesome. I think it would be cool
to mess around with that by itself. Could be great as its own game mode
as well. Anyways, love the progress you guys are making. Really innovative
and interesting. Love seeing each update. Looking forward to release!!

Great video! Making rabbits jump all over the map at a click of the mouse looks like fun.

I was just wondering. Is this available as a podcast on itunes? If not, it should be.
