Roblox will integrate artificial intelligence to create these games

Roblox It is one of the most popular games on the internet due to its wide level of creation, as it allows users to design their own games and participate in those imagined by others. A feature that will be enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI).

The idea of ​​the company is that through a sentence a player can create what he wants and immediately, without having to be programming specialists, but taking advantage of the use of generative AI to design textures, materials and 3D models with defined characteristics.

“Some creators know how to code, but may have limited experience creating high-fidelity 3D models. Others may have more experience designing models, but less experience coding. Either way, we see a future where even a beginner can get a head start as they seek to bring their imagination to life.” Daniel SturmanCTO at Roblox.

Artificial intelligence has been present in the video game for some time now, but not in an integrated way to the platform. This decision is therefore made so that the results are “Roblox ready”.

This means that the designs produced will be fully optimized to meet the technical characteristics required by the game, such as integration with the graphics engine to connect to the movement physics and meet the requirements of their interaction.

In order for players to understand the scope of integrating this technology, they gave an example of the change that having AI to create items will entail.

The case they talked about is that of designing a car which, through traditional programming, involves modeling the vehicle in 3D, texturing it, creating a skeleton, coding the interaction and the physical instructions in the game engine. But with the artificial intelligence all you have to do is write ‘A red two-seater convertible’ and it will do all the work mentioned above.

“Generative AI tools can help make creation intuitive and natural for users and integrate directly into experiences, empowering each of our 58.8 million daily users to create unique content that can be shared. across the platform,” the company reported.

This whole plan is in the development phase. Sturman He mentions two challenges ahead of us. One of them is the need to adapt the tools to the platform’s creation environment, another is to have an adequate moderation system because the large number of users are minors and, finally, to to have a viable platform for both specialized developers and more casual content creators.

Right now, Roblox tests two generative artificial intelligences, one that will speed up the creation process and another to change the materials of an object.
