204 | How genAI unlocks web3 gaming's potential

[3:15] How JC Kim first met Delabs' co-CEO James Joonmo Kwon as a mentor.

[6:05] Why JC Kim started work on a generative AI game-making tool, which became Verse8.

[7:20] Verse8 includes coding, 2D image generation, background music and 3D model generation.

[8:10] The game sector's biggest issue is production costs. GenAI reduces this by 90%.

[10:06] This means developers can try more ideas and be more

[10:20] This is particularly important for web3 developers who want to rewards players with tokens.

[11:56] Using AI, anyone can make mini-games and apps around an IP, which enables real community.

[15:53] One element of Verse8 is the ability for users to recast or "spin" existing games.

[19:15] Verse8 can generate a complete multiplayer game for around $10-$20.

[21:50] Verse8 can suppport both professional game devs and inexperienced users (kids!).

[28:35] Creators can also choose to launch tokens, effectively memecoins.

[31:45] Delabs Games is already using Verse8 to develop new titles.
