Roblox launches its first generative AI game creation tools
Last month, Roblox outlined its vision for AI-assisted content creation, imagining a future where Generative AI could help users create code, 3D models and more with little more than text prompts. Now, it’s taking its first steps toward allowing “every user on Roblox to be a creator” by launching its first AI tools: Code Assist and Material Generator, both in beta.
Although neither tool is anywhere close to generating a playable Roblox experience from a text description, Head of Roblox Studio Stef Corazzatold an audience at GDC 2023 that they can “help automate basic coding tasks so you can focus on creative work.” For now, that means being able to generate useful code snippets and object textures based on short prompts. Roblox’s announcement for the tools offers a few examples, generating realistic textures for a “bright red rock canyon” and “stained glass,” or producing several lines of functional code that will that make certain objects change color and self-destruct after a player interacts with them.
Both of those functions might sound familiar to you if you’ve experimented AI chatbots — GPT-3 can already create functional code snippets based on prompts.
Code Assist looks promising, but Roblox is careful to state it’s imperfect, and may generate “incorrect” or “misleading” information. “It is still up to you to review, test, and determine if the code suggestion is contextually appropriate.” Even so, Roblox’s Corazza seems confident that this is the first step towards making every user on the platform a creator, suggesting it may only be a few years before these tools can generate fully playable, interactive 3D scenes from a simple prompt.

Roblox wants to let people build virtual worlds just by typing
AI chatbots can spit out convincing — if at times overconfident — natural language responses, but what if an AI could build custom virtual worlds based on a text description alone? Roblox is exploring that possibility with its kit of developer tools, which are designed to make it possible for just about anyone to build […]

SpongeBob And Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Are Getting Official Roblox Experiences
Nickelodeon and Paramount are bringing SpongeBob SquarePants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Roblox in two new standalone experiences, which will be developed by Gamefam.
“We are creating immersive new experiences on Roblox to let the millions of SpongeBob SquarePants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans inside these worlds play and explore alongside the iconic characters they know and love,” said Paramount Senior Vice President Doug Rosen.
Both franchises already have a presence on Roblox–SpongeBob is included as part of Nickelodeon’s Nickverse game, while TMNT has a game called Turtle Trouble that launched in 2007. The new games should be a big update on the older instalments, with developer Gamefam having lots of experience creating branded content for Roblox.
