Tommy is back in a solo episode of Branching Factor, in which we also welcome our first-ever guests. With AI for game development becoming an ever-popular topic of discussion, we welcome modl.ai CEO Dr Christoffer Holmgard, alongside Dr Julian Togelius, one of the company’s heads of research. Modl.ai is working on AI tools that support game developers and dig into the realities of how AI can be used to help optimise and improve game production workflows.
