Note: This episode features a digitally cloned version of my voice. While the voice is AI-generated, the content is entirely mine: written, produced, and curated with care to keep bringing you great episodes, even on my busiest days.


Today’s NPCs don’t just follow scripts—they grow with you. In Episode 5 of Game‑Loft Cast, we dive into the rise of AI-powered characters who remember your choices, react emotionally, and build long-term bonds. Discover the tech behind them, the ethics of how we treat them, and what happens when your favorite game character becomes more than just a role—they become a relationship.

Disclosure: Some part of production and editing of this podcast was assisted with the use of AI, such as filler words, making the audio more polished, enhancing speech clarity and adjusting audio levels.
