Sega Delivers an Unprecedented Artificial Intelligence System With Floigan Brothers for Sega Dreamcast

New Characters Blur the Line Between Cartoons and Video Games in This Highly Interactive Episodic Adventure

    Whoever thought having a brother could be so much fun? Sega(R) of America announced today the release of Visual Concepts' "Floigan Bros.(TM): Moigle's Secret Project" for the 128-bit, Internet-ready Sega Dreamcast(TM) video game console. By entering the madcap and cartoony world of Hoigle and Moigle Floigan, gamers can play more than a dozen exciting mini-games and challenging puzzles to help Moigle complete his secret project and ultimately save the brothers' junkyard from the evil Baron Malodorous. State-of-the-art animation techniques and ground-breaking artificial intelligence (AI) technology deliver an innovative gameplay experience by challenging players to control Moigle's emotions.

    In "Floigan Bros.," players become the quick-witted Hoigle Floigan to help large-and-lovable brother, Moigle Floigan accomplish a variety of tasks key to completing his secret project. Moigle's AI gives him a full range of human emotions which allows him to express anger, sadness, happiness and fear. As Hoigle, players manipulate Moigle's emotions in a series of cause-and-effect scenarios. For example, Hoigle may provoke Moigle to "cry a river" -- literally! -- to raise a floating bridge, allowing the brothers to successfully cross and obtain one of the secret project's missing pieces.

    "Sega's development teams continue to set new standards for game creation, this time with the combination of ground-breaking AI technology and entertaining animation that makes Floigan Brothers stand out from the pack," said John Golden, director of product marketing, Sega of America.

    Within the 13 areas of the brothers' junkyard, Hoigle and Moigle must work both cooperatively and competitively in more than a dozen mini-games such as playing "High Five" or "Hide and Seek." Also, as Hoigle, players "teach" Moigle quirky abilities such as playing "tag" or performing tricks on his yo-yo. Everything Moigle learns makes him unique and Moigles with different "characteristics" may then be traded over the Internet, extending the overall gaming experience.

    The Floigan brothers' world is highly interactive and designed in the same surreal, whimsical fashion you'd expect from a Saturday morning cartoon. Bright images and attention to detail make Hoigle and Moigle's world truly come to life.

    Sega will keep the adventure fresh and exciting by offering monthly downloadable game elements, such as cool holiday costumes and special mini-games.

    Visual Concepts is one of Sega's many excellent exclusive development studios. Aside from "Floigan Bros.," they are also the creative talent behind the best-selling and award-winning Dreamcast titles "Sega Sports(TM) NFL 2K1" and "Sega Sports(TM) NBA 2K1."

    "Floigan Brothers" is rated "E" for "Everyone" and is now available at retail stores nationwide.
