Kwalee Embraces Artificial Intelligence In Its Games Studios.
Kwalee, a leading UK games publisher, announces Kwalee Artificial Intelligence (KAI), an employee programme enabling anyone in the company to pitch ideas for how AI can be used to enhance productivity at the workplace, or bring innovation to their future games.
The programme encourages every Kwalee employee to use open-source artificial intelligence tools — including ChatGPT, Dall-E, and Midjourney — to produce new, innovative ideas that contribute to the company’s core business goals, including game design, data science, marketing, and customer support. Every contribution is evaluated by a panel of senior leaders and signed off in exchange for benefits including giveaways and financial incentives.
The scheme is similar to the company’s weekly Creative Wednesdays event, where any team member is encouraged to pitch their dream mobile game to a company-wide vote, take two days out to manage the production of a prototype and then share in the financial success of the game.
Kwalee has long advocated for innovation in the industry, championed by CEO David Darling, co-creator of the revolutionary Game Genie modification tech for Nintendo systems, during his time as co-founder of Codemasters. With AI tools picking up in popularity in 2023, this news marks the first time a games company has come out fully embracing it as part of its mainstream business strategies.
The UK-based games publisher first experimented with artificial intelligence and machine learning in 2019, when making Draw it, their most popular game with over 115 million installs. To commemorate its chart-topping success, a documentary was released that explored the making of the game and how expert tech teams helped make it a reality.
On the growing use of AI, David Darling said: ‘The use of tools, from the chisel, to the printing press has shaped the course of human history, and will continue to do so in the future. They allow us to perform tasks more efficiently and effectively, and have the ability to multiply our strength and abilities. AI has shown tremendous potential as a tool for companies to use to gain a competitive advantage. By offering our team an opportunity to pitch ideas to integrate AI in our work at Kwalee, we can boost our productivity and help us create the next generation of entertaining games.’
In the latest blog post about the emergenceof AI in marketing, Kwalee’s Vice President of Marketing Harry Lang wrote largely in support of it, stating that marketers must, at least, embrace AI as a moderated assistant and an ideas sketchpad for the work they produce, going further to suggest that those who reject it may ‘find themselves, and the games they represent, left out in the cold.’
The integration of AI technology into Kwalee’s daily work processes will not only streamline game development and improve player satisfaction, but it will also lead to cost savings and increased profitability for the company.
Kwalee’s commitment to AI underscores its commitment to leading at the forefront of the rapidly-evolving games industry and to delivering the best possible games experiences to players worldwide.

Blueprint Gaming introduces new Volcano feature in explosive Lava Lock Jackpot King™
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Blueprint Gaming has turned up the heat in its latest release, Lava Lock Jackpot King, with the sweltering title leading with a new Volcano feature and a host of refreshed modifiers for an enriched gameplay experience.
Pele, the goddess of volcanoes, takes centre stage in the 5×3, 30 payline slot. Landing solely on the central position, if she appears alongside a volcano scatter symbol, the newly introduced Volcano feature is triggered, which results in a respin where random positions turn into instant cash rewards.
The Hawaiian princess also holds the key to the Free Spins bonus. If landed, there is a chance that one or two of the Tiki heads above the reels will light up, resulting in either six or 12 Pele spins, respectively, with her position remaining fixed throughout the bonus round.
In an intriguing development to base play, the Pele symbol also has the power to grant rewards from locked symbols, including one of four in-game jackpots rising to 2,500x. Cash add, Pele add, and Cash spin also stand as three bonus modifiers available in both the main game and bonus game, optimising the chance for increased win potential.
The volcanic offering also offers the pull of the industry’s most recognisable and lucrative progressive jackpot systems, Jackpot King, ramping up the anticipation with an array of prize-filled pots.
Marking the award-winning studio’s latest addition to its offering, Lava Lock Jackpot King reinforces Blueprint’s ability to cleverly craft fresh themed, bountiful titles for its operators’ players to enjoy worldwide.
Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing, PR and Events, said: “Lava Lock Jackpot King showcases Blueprint’s commitment to constant creativity. By introducing the Volcano Feature and new gameplay mechanics, we have delivered another dynamic title that keeps our Jackpot King portfolio feeling fresh and energetic.
“With an array of immersive releases still to come during the festive months, our fiery Pele offering kickstarts November in style.”
