Source of Madness
Here’s the latest trailer for Source of Madness, along with some details:
Source of Madness is a dark action rouge-lite game, developed by Swedish studio Carry Castle. The developers have an avid interest in incorporating new technologies to influence creativity and bring something fresh and exciting to their games. For instance, applying machine-learning to conjure some truly weird and grotesque creatures. Another, is the use of AI-technology to bring life, natural movement and decisions to the monster to constantly challenge the player in this ever-changing world.
In Source of Madness you start as a newly initiated Acolyte who uses magic to battle against a physics-rigged world and it’s hordes of procedurally-generated monsters.
