Unity unveils Spark, browser-based AI game creation tool
Unity Spark will launch in beta later this year on Google Playground and is limited to users aged 18 and over, according to gamesindustry.biz.
Unity has announced Unity Spark, a browser-based platform for creating games with AI, which will launch in beta later this year. The tool is hosted on Google's Playground platform, according to gamesindustry.biz.
Spark is designed to let users build and iterate on 3D games through text prompts without downloading software. It connects to the Unity Asset Store and suggests assets based on those prompts. Multiple users can collaborate on the same project by sharing a link, and finished projects can be published on Google Playground.
The Unity Spark editor runs only in desktop browsers, while games made with it can be played in both desktop and mobile browsers. At launch, projects cannot be downloaded, exported to desktop Unity, or sold. Spark will use a credit-based payment system tied to AI tokens, with pricing details not yet finalized.
Both Unity Spark and Google Playground are limited to users aged 18 and over.
Google's Playground platform launched today for generating games from natural language prompts.
