I love the story arc of "We were planning to make this AI system, but it turned out that messing with that system was so much fun that we made that into the whole game".
Like the origin of Sim City - supposedly Will Wright was having so much fun with the environment generation code of a game he was working on that he realised that there was a game in there waiting to be uncovered.
If you have even a passing interest in AI, get this game. It's a lot of fun and unfortunately very underrated.

52:30 isn't Tommy Thompson from AI & Games, between the seats?
That's my evil twin, Cedric. A known troublemaker.
This is brilliant
Great talk
I kick myself for not knowing about this game before
