There's an independent game called The Restaurant Game. You can check it out here.
What is so cool about it is that the developer has made some great games like F.E.A.R. and No One Lives Forever AND everyone (that means me and you) who plays it gets a credit in the game as a game designer.
Sa-weet!
This project attempts to address two frustrations I experienced as a professional game developer. 1) Convincing human social behavior is difficult to model with existing hand crafted AI systems. 2) Play testing by people outside of the development team typically comes too late to have a major impact on the final product. This experiment aims to generate AI behaviors that conform to the way players actually choose to interact with other characters and the environment; behaviors that are convincingly human because they capture the nuances of real human behavior and language.
