Games Now! Podcast

In the second episode of our "Further Questions" series on the Games Now! Podcast, we delve into the insights of Jussi Kemppainen, an industry veteran with expertise in VFX for video and game productions.

In November 2023, Jussi explored the integration of generative AI in game development through his project "Echoes of Somewhere," a 2.5D point-and-click adventure highlighting both the potential and challenges of AI tools. With nearly 25 years of experience at Ubisoft Redlynx, Supercell, Remedy, and Mainframe Industries, Jussi provides a seasoned perspective on the evolving landscape of creative technologies.

In this episode, we discuss Jussi's views on the future of generative AI in games, his recent experiments, and the evolving impact of AI on artists' roles and skills. Join us for an insightful "Further Questions" conversation with Jussi as he offers advice to aspiring developers keen on exploring AI in their projects.
