AI and Games is a fan-funded series, support our work at: http://www.aiandgames.com On October 7th 2014, British games studio @CreativeAssembly released @AlienIsolation a tight, claustrophobic, and exhilarating first-person horror game based on the classic movie franchise. It’s a game that has captured the imagination of players around the world courtesy of its reverence for its source material, and the intelligent and seemingly unstoppable xenomorph. To celebrate over 10 years since its initial release, we welcome a collection of people from across the games industry who to discuss its development, and its broader impact – including several members of the Alien: Isolation development team, as we explore the AI of Alien: Isolation one last time.
