Buildbox wants ordinary creators and aspiring game developers to create the visual narrative games of the future with its new tool StoryGames.AI.

StoryGames.AI is live now. It combines generative AI with user-friendly tools to inspire amateurs to create games that are like visual novels, said Jonathan Zweig, CEO of Buildbox, in an interview with GamesBeat.

In a world where storytelling takes center stage, Zweig sees StoryGames.AI as a groundbreaking platform allowing creators to bring their imaginative tales to life in the form of captivating games. Buildbox is a no-code platform that enables people to create their own games, and StoryGames.AI can enhance what they can do in creating games where players follow a narrative and make choices.

“The community has been asking to create these kinds of visual novel games, kind of like Episode and Choices,” Zweig said. “Buildbox has kind of been known for making hypercasual games for a long time. So it was definitely a new kind of undertaking. Then with all the AI stuff happening, it just made sense to put all those technologies together. So you can now just type any storyline that you want and it will create the first 10 chapters for you.”
