Dear Players,
We would like to introduce you to our new project "A.I.D. Artificial Intelligence Defence"

Lead the operations of an advanced artificial intelligence program with only one aim – to clear the Earth from the remains of humanity
Develop technology, extend your base, expand and increase your abilities to complete the task
Devise new solutions, improve and produce new combat units
Design and create a net of defences and fortifications which will assure the security of your central unit
Collect data, spy on your enemy, broaden your knowledge
Formulate the best strategies for combat and operations
Play alone or with friends
Lead the operations of an artificial intelligence program with only one aim – to clear the Earth from the remains of humanity. Conquer the world campaigning on a single-player dynamic battleground or play with your friends during a real time strategic gameplay.
This will be our first Multiplayer game!
Check out the game trailer:
Watch on YouTube
This fragment is from my (game's author's) private notes:
“We wanted to create a game where the story would be based on the fight between humanity and advanced artificial intelligence. Something that can happen in the future. Due to rapid and uncontrolled development of the technologies artificial intelligence will become self-aware. We wanted to tell players a story in which the artificial intelligence recognizes humanity as the greatest threat to the planet and decides to remove it”
We love the whole Terminator universe and we want to give you a game in the climate we love. But made with our soul. We're going to give you a game where you can finally play the bad guys!
Using Terminator terminology, imagine what it would be like to play Skynet…
If you like this project and want to support us, add it to your wishlist and hit the “Follow” button!
Write in the comments what you think about this game! we are interested in your opinion!
Best regards!
