One of the biggest gaming platforms announces an 'infusion' of artificial intelligence tools to speed up the development of new games
Roblox, the gaming platform that has several tens of millions of users daily, has announced new AI tools to be used in game development and testing. The company also sees a future where multiple AI agents could work in parallel.
Basically, Roblox is introducing new “agent AI” features to help developers plan, build and test games on the platform, writes TechCrunch.
Roblox already has an AI assistant, but the company says the changes now in place can help game developers at all stages of the process, from the first ideas to the final touches.
The company claims the tool, called “Planning Mode,” can analyze a game's lines of code as well as data models, and developers can converse with the AI while building the game to tweak various elements and get clarification where needed.
With these new tools, developers can create a plan for the game, get feedback to “refine” the details, and then put the plan into action, the company claims.
Tools have also been added to quickly insert temporary 3D elements into the game in progress to understand how players will interact with the environment.
Roblox also announced that it is also working on allowing multiple AI agents to collaborate in parallel, run complex workflows in the cloud, and handle tasks such as writing code, testing, and creating more realistic in-game characters.
