Online gaming platform Roblox today announced the addition of a new building tool that will allow iPhone and iPad users to create games using AI.
With the mobile-first build option, Roblox users can write a text prompt and have the AI turn it into a base game. A single prompt will create a starting point that can be expanded with playtesting and other commands. The entire game creation process, from creation to upload to the Roblox platform, can be done on a mobile device.
Currently, creating a game in Roblox requires a Mac or PC app, but Build will expand game creation to mobile users as well. 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 with Studio.
Roblox Build is scheduled to roll out to the Roblox mobile app on July 28, starting with a public alpha test for users in New Zealand. Build will roll out to more 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 are very popular.
