Roblox tests AI game creation tool in New Zealand

Roblox, the popular metaverse and gaming platform, has launched a limited test of a new AI-powered tool for game creation in New Zealand. The tool is designed to enable users to generate game elements and code through natural language inputs, aiming to streamline and simplify the creation process on its platform.

The current testing phase is focused on the New Zealand market and aims to gather feedback for refinement before a potential broader rollout. The integration of AI into game development is a growing trend across the tech industry, and Roblox's move to incorporate it into its platform signifies a development in digital creation tools.

This tool is expected to lower the barrier to entry for game development on Roblox, potentially allowing users with less technical expertise to contribute more actively to content creation. This could further diversify the platform's offerings and increase the volume of user-generated content.

Roblox has stated that the AI can assist in creating various assets, such as 3D objects, animations, and code snippets, based on descriptive prompts. The company has not yet provided a timeline for a wider release of the tool.
