I’ve done a presentation about our engine at [FPC & Lazarus meeting](https://www.blaisepascalmagazine.eu/en/fpc-lazarus-meeting-2024-info/) today in Köln, and I think it went really well. I had more time than usual, so after an introduction to the engine, I could go in more depth about some recently added features, including:

- `TCastleComponentFactory` (with some cool improvements announced last [here](https://castle-engine.io/wp/2024/10/04/various-new-features-unused-data-analysis-more-ways-to-set-sound-priority-comfortable-tcastlecomponentfactory-control-quality-of-spheres-cones-etc-copy-url-in-editor-more/), demo usage in [examples/space\_shooter](https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/tree/master/examples/space_shooter).)

- Our new [Steam integration](https://castle-engine.io/steam). More about it in a dedicated news post coming soon!

- Our new (work in progress, but already cool) `TCastleMoveAttack` component, providing out-of-the-box working creatures AI (so they can walk toward a configurable enemy, attack, run scared, die… typical “FPS-game enemy” logic in a ready tweakable component). See also our [roadmap about it](https://castle-engine.io/roadmap#_in_progress_implement_tcastlemoveattack_behavior_use_for_enemies_in_examplesfps_game_and_examplescreatures_behaviors). It’s not yet finished, but it does work (on a [walk-attack-behavior branch](https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/tree/walk-attack-behavior), see new `examples/creature_behaviors` version there). I showed some initial fun and promising results — see the slides below for screenshots!
