Roblox says it is adding an AI-based game creation feature called “Build” to its mobile app for iPhone and iPad. The company positions Build as a mobile-first way to turn text prompts into playable game projects. Users will be able to describe a game in ordinary language and have AI generate a starting version that includes gameplay mechanics, environments, characters, visual styling, sound, and other elements. The initial project can be tested by playing within the app, and creators can iterate by using chat to request changes and continue developing the game from the mobile device. Roblox also says Build will support moving work between mobile and desktop: projects created with Build can be continued or refined in Roblox Studio, its desktop creation software, using shared back-end components, models, and chat history. According to Roblox, Build is scheduled to begin a public alpha in New Zealand on July 28, with expansion to additional regions in the following months. Roblox also says publishing will be included as part of selected early features for the tool.

3 hours agoOnline game platform Roblox today said it is adding a new Build tool that will let iPhone and iPad users create games using AI. With the mobile-first Build option, Roblox users can write a text-based prompt and have AI turn it into a basic game. A single prompt will create a starting point that can be expanded with playtesting and further commands. The entire game-making process, from creation to uploading on the Roblox platform, can be done on a mobile device. Right now, creating a game in Roblox requires a Mac or PC app, but Build will extend game creation to mobile users too. Roblox is also adding new AI creation tools to Roblox Studio, its desktop game creation software. Content created using the Build tool can be iterated on with Studio. Roblox Build is set to roll out to the Roblox mobile app on July 28, beginning with a public alpha test for users in New Zealand. Build will roll out to additional regions in the coming months as Roblox improves the experience. Roblox has 132 million daily active users, and user-created games like Brookhaven RP, Adopt Me, and Dress to Impress have been wildly popular.Tag: RobloxThis article, "Roblox is Adding AI Game Creation to iPhone and iPad" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
