BuildBox is perhaps the easiest to use game engine on the market. BuildBox is also a company known to make some pretty stupid business decisions. This one however, does not feel like a bad business decision. In fact it feels like one of the best uses of AI technology in a game engine to date. BuildBox has always been focused on enabling non-programmers to create games and now instead of using a flowchart like programming interface, they instead are integrating AI command prompts in the upcoming BuildBox 4.
Details from the BuildBox blog:
The wait is over! Buildbox 4 Alpha is finally here! Imagine typing a prompt to add assets and animations to your game or generating entire scenes with a few words. Let the AI assist you in editing levels with gesture drawing tools. Easily edit game logic and create custom nodes without writing a single line of code. Yes, all of that and more is now possible with Buildbox 4.
