Fallout co-creator Tim Cain has blown my mind once again, revealing that Troika made a version of Temple of Elemental Evil for a DoD project.
According to Cain, in 2004 he was approached by a former graduate school classmate who had moved on to working for the DoD."He wanted to know if I could take Temple of Elemental Evil and write an API so that an external AI could run the game," Cain explains in the video.
In order to test their API in-house, Cain and Moret made a simple AI that largely made choices at random, with positive reinforcement from gaining XP, and negative reinforcement from character death. In the video, Cain recounts an anecdote of even this simple test AI surprising him with its capacity.
Though the developer is hazy on the exact timing, it looks like Cain and Moret delivered the final iteration of ToEE for robots in the first half of 2005, some time in the midst of Troika's untimely demise. Cain never heard about it again, though he characterizes this version of ToEE as Troika's fourth shipped project alongside the original game, Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, and Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines.
