How AI is used
Core gameplay (animation, physics, hit detection and netcode synchronization) is designed and tuned by hand. Models, textures, other assets and the rest of the code are downloaded or AI-generated, then edited.

About Mad Ancients
Multiplayer third person slasher.
Attacks and blocks work in any direction,
hit detection is model-based so there are no invisible blocks.
Quick battles, where your skill and team tactics matter.
Easy to start just using classic slasher mechanics like footwork and aiming,
but if you want - it will be a challenge to master blocking and countering.
Multiple game modes: team battles, deathmatch, battle royale,
different weapons and weapon mods.
Host your own game or join open lobbies - play with others, bots, or friends in private.
