The company Roblox continues to integrate artificial intelligence into its eponymous platform. It has announced a tool called Build, which is capable of generating game prototypes based on their descriptions.
The AI framework will be available in the Roblox mobile app. According to the company, users simply need to prepare a prompt, after which Build will create game locations, characters, soundtracks, gameplay mechanics, and other necessary elements for a prototype. If desired, all of this can be further refined manually to make a full-fledged game and published on Roblox.
The public alpha test of Build begins on July 28 in New Zealand. The AI framework will reach other countries “in the coming months” as the tool is polished.
Besides Build, Roblox is currently working on a number of AI agents — for game testing, analytics, and conducting experiments to enhance engagement, user retention, and monetization.
