39 participants. 8 studios. 48 hours. Our first-ever AI Game Jam. Not a pilot. Not a test. A signal of where we’re going. The teams that will win in the next era of gaming aren’t the ones with the biggest budgets, they’re the ones who move faster, experiment harder, and know how to work with AI. As I say in the video: AI won’t replace great teams. But great teams that know how to leverage AI will replace everyone else.

Exciting to see how the next era of gaming is already taking shape at Stillfront Group 🚀 It was a real pleasure for our team to take part in the first-ever AI Game Jam and experience firsthand the mindset Alexis Bonte is talking about. Experimenting boldly, iterating fast, and embracing AI not just as a tool, but as a way of thinking. Proud to be part of a group that empowers teams to explore, build, and push boundaries every day. 🎮⚡ #Stillfront #AIGameJam #GameDev #Innovation #AI #LifeAtStillfront #EmpireReImagined https://lnkd.in/dCUgAjGu

The next era of gaming is being built right now. And we're not watching from the sidelines. 🚀 Our CEO Alexis Bonte shares the story behind Stillfront's first-ever AI Game Jam — and how we are making sure our teams not only have the freedom but are encouraged to experiment, fail fast, and build faster. AI isn't a tool we're testing. It's a mindset we are embracing at all levels. 🎮 ⚡ #Stillfront #AIGameJam #GameDev #Innovation #AI #LifeAtStillfront #EmpireReImagined

Beyond the Slop #60 - AI Is Now In Unity Unity just shipped AI tools directly inside the engine. • Generates assets and content without leaving the editor • Automates repetitive tasks like setup and iteration • Built into existing workflows, not a separate tool This is the shift. AI isn’t optional software anymore. It’s part of the engine. Which means every dev is now one click away from using it. https://lnkd.in/ezTdDPKs

Not all game are called games. When I design games as interventions, I often use euphemisms to describe them: simulation, playful activity, roleplay exercise. Other times, things that aren't games are called games to make them more palatable. But what about activities that might not seem like games, but secretly are? In my latest medium article, I argue that using an AI chatbot is one such activity. https://lnkd.in/eXZAby92

Using artificial intelligence is often akin to "play" within rules that feel similar in scope to Huzinga's "magic circle". But does that make it a game?

AI video generation is accelerating game production by automating cutscenes, character expressions, and environmental effects — enabling richer visuals with lower costs and faster iteration. Read the full article to understand tools, benefits, and industry impact: https://lnkd.in/edJ2dHNF

GDC has released my talk about safety and live gen AI in games for free! If you're interested in what happens when millions of people interact with live AI at scale, click below and give it a listen! Embedded in the talk is some good hands-on info about what some of my clients and colleagues are dealing with day to day. I also include a good bit about what we might be looking at in the near future in this gaming space. Shout out to those that let me interview them for this on a very tight timeline including Bitmagic, Latitude, Jam & Tea Studios, Robotopia, Camille Nebeker, and many others. I'm not going to make you click through to the first comment to get the link. The link is right here! 👇 Let me know what you think! https://lnkd.in/e6Wt3r-4 #AI #genAI #gamedev #gamedesign #gamesafety #safety

Unity’s AI beta is finally making "building with words" a reality. Here’s the breakdown: 1. Muse: Skip the coding headaches. You describe what you want in plain English, and it generates the assets or code. It’s about focusing on the idea rather than getting stuck in the syntax. 2. Sentis: This is the exciting part. It puts AI directly into the game engine, meaning NPCs that actually "think" and react to your playstyle instead of just looping a pre-written script. For all gamers everywhere, this is the ultimate shortcut. We have the stories and the vision, these tools just help us bridge the technical gap and ship faster. The future of gaming is becoming a conversation, not just a set of instructions. #Unity #GameDev #SaudiGaming #AI #KSA

Proud of the incredible work our team at Predictive AI has been doing to support our broader AI initiatives. Here’s a sneak peek of our upcoming Gaming Enhancement Engine—an AI-powered pipeline that can extract textures from 3D assets, upscale them to higher quality, and remove noise and artifacts to restore character detail. Built on data and expertise from the Martial Arts Alliance Atlas community (4,500+ direct members and 300,000+ contributors), our team combines deep technical knowledge with real-world domain expertise to develop AI systems already being used in legal, investigative, and aerospace applications. After launching SignalForge, we’re excited to bring these capabilities to game developers and digital artists. Next step is using our enhancement and analysis technology to capture live models to enable remote real time engagement. (think remote fighting in real time using yourself). #ArtificialIntelligence #GameDevelopment #TextureUpscaling #3DArt #ComputerVision #DigitalRestoration #Innovation #PredictiveAI #GamingTech #MachineLearning
