Bitmagic has announced a closed alpha test of its game development system powered by generative AI. By simply typing what you want, users can create playable games in minutes. This will democratize game creation by allowing anyone to make games they envision and enjoy.

Bitmagic, formerly Roleverse, has begun accepting applications to a closed alpha test of their AI generated games platform on Discord. Founded by game veterans from Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, and more, the goal of their platform is to enable any gamer to create a working game in minutes. Similar generative AI technology can make unique pictures, text, and videos by simply typing what you want.

The Bitmagic system allows anyone to create games that they want to play without the burden of time and expensive of hiring a large programming team. Current AAA video game titles (such as this one on Amazon) often cost millions of dollars and take several years to create. The platform is powered by OpenAI GPT-4 and Google Bard AI that can take user prompts such as ‘Build a castle’ and a castle will appear in the game. Enemies, NPOs, and more can be added, too. Game templates a square kilometer in size provide ample space to map out unique lands.

The closed alpha test signup has begun with initial testing on Windows for single-players. Multiplayer gaming across Windows, Android, and iOS is expected to roll out in 2024. Visit Bitmagic for information on joining the closed alpha test.

Bitmagic Launches Public Test for AI-based Game Creation Platform

NEWS PROVIDED BY Bitmagic

HELSINKI, Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitmagic today announced that their generative AI -based game development platform is now available for public access via a closed alpha program. The Bitmagic platform is the first system in the world that allows creating fully playable games with a single prompt.

Bitmagic creates a game concept, builds a background story and creates an immersive 3D world around the story. It designs gameplay mechanics and adds gameplay elements to the world, resulting in a fully playable game that provides 15-30 minutes of gameplay. The Bitmagic engine provides beautiful graphics, nature simulation with weather, animals, and seasons as well as full physics.

Bitmagic is built on a vision that anyone can be a game developer. Every gamer has ideas of what type of game they would like to create. Bitmagic allows creating games by describing what type of game the user wants to create. The games the platform creates look and play as professionally created products. The creator can continue to edit the game by describing what changes or additions they want to make – it's just like having a professional game designer sitting next to you, implementing your vision. These games are currently limited in scope, and the available styles are limited to 3rd person, character driven games, but the range of possibilities will increase with monthly updates over the next 12 months.

Jani Penttinen, CEO and co-founder of Bitmagic explains: "There are over 3 billion gamers in the world, but all the games available today have been built by a fairly small group of around 200 000 professional game developers, most of whom are white, middle-aged men. Creating games has always been difficult, and due to the skills required, it has remained an artform for a select few. Bitmagic will democratize game development. Once we have millions of people creating games they want to play, we will have an amazing variety of games that have never been seen before. Bitmagic will do to game development what YouTube and Netflix have done for video production"

Bitmagic is a grande vision, but as of bitmagic.games today it is no longer just a dream. The platform is now available for use at bitmagic.games. Initially, the access is limited but new users are being added gradually. To queue up for access, creators will need to join the Bitmagic Discord server.

The Bitmagic platform is currently available for Windows as a single-player experience. Support for iOS and Android will be added next year, along with multiplayer gameplay.

Bitmagic is headquartered in Helsinki, Finland. It is owned by its founders and early stage investors. The team behind Bitmagic has been building games and game engines for the past 30 years.
