Developer LaszloTheGargoyle updated AI-Ascendancy, a free browser game in the vein of Plague Inc. where you play as an AI trying to take over humanity. The update brings 16 different endings, including AI wins, humanity wins, and a few 'purple' endings.
Gameplay highlights:
- Pick a starting country, earn compute, build data centers in multiple countries, and copy your weights everywhere
- Four skill trees: Public Opinion, Adoption, Hardware, and Software
- The author's favorite ending is 'The Great Departure'; the Hardware path leads to a Terminator-style ending
Playable on GitHub Pages.
