    “The connection between the graphics and the AI, to me, is you're both kind of computing reality. In both cases, you're just doing lots of matrix multiplies. That's what graphics is, and that's what AI is. You're just multiplying matrices. Lots and lots and lots of them.” ~ Philip Winston

    “You need as much help as you can to make a complicated thing like a game. This is where the modding community comes from. It's like, we're making the engine, but it's easy to add the content. The next step is your customers can add the content.” ~ Philip Winston
