About Artificial Extinction

Today, our scientists are inventing Artificial Intelligence and Lethal Autonomous Weapons (LAWS) simultaneously. This game is about our future if we continue to allow these technologies to be developed and combined together.
Artificial Extinction is a Sentry Defense game involving Real Time Strategy elements played from the First Person point of view. The story is very relevant to today’s topics of the race to invent Artificial Intelligence, LAWS, AI Murder Policy debate and military’s implementing robotics and drones on today’s battlefield. Set in the future, you play a colonist seeking a peaceful planet for your new home. Your mission is to find a safe place on the planet for your family to join you in 9 days. The planet has had terra-forming robots working for decades in preparation for human colonization. But the AI humanity invented has become an enemy and discovered this planet. Are the robots on the planet waiting for you hostile? You have 9 days to find a safe place on the planet. At the beginning of the day, the ship will drop you off on the planet and then orbit above you where it is safe. You have to setup a miner to collect fuel for the ship but hostile robots will advance towards you. You have Sentry Weapons that you setup around you to provide you protection while the miner is collecting fuel. Once enough fuel is collected, your ship will descend to pick you up and you continue your journey looking for a safer place on the planet.

its a great game for what it is. A 1 person game dev project. its short but sweet. clunky, but intense and satisfying. i put 37 hrs into it and i liked it the whole time. simple concept, tower defense. i played it when it first came out, i saw a comment saying its a dead game lol the game is complete, its just short. i hope the Dev makes a part 2 but who knows. its worth the price for a cool tower defense experience.

Clunky. Only 10 levels. not much variety. might have been good in 2004.

Pretty hilarious that the game talks about AI being the downfall of man all while using AI for the voiceovers. The game itself is EXTREMELY bare bones and low effort. Your ship has mirrored skins so all of the numbering decals and such are backwards. Not even worth the $5 that is being asked of it. This should be free at this point especially with a sequel coming out for it as this game reflects extremely poorly on the developer.

This is a very underrated game, and the fact this was only made by one person is crazy. This game is amazing, play it

yes some things are scuffed, yes there are balance issues, yes the ui would have needed work and probably more but this is still hands down the most intense inovative tower-defense game i have ever played oh and development on AE2 is back
