Ludo, The AI Gamestorming Platform Launches, Democratizing the Game Design Process

With a new design, new features inspired by its public beta including automated game design document creation, a 30-day free trial and pricing from just $20USD a month, every developer, designer and studio can make AI part of their developer tool set.
Ludo, the world’s first AI supercharged platform for brainstorming new game concepts, has completed its public beta, and is now available for all game creators and developers to join its growing community of over 300 developers. With a 30-day free trial, a host of new features, and subscriptions starting at just $20USD a month, every developer and studio, large or small, can use the power of AI to inspire and accelerate the gamestorming design process – getting them closer to their next hit title.
Ludo uses machine learning and natural language processing to suggest game ideas on demand – helping to inspire developers as they gamestorm. Users set parameters by providing keywords, natural language descriptions, game mechanics, or imagery and Ludo returns almost immediately with multiple written game concepts, artwork and images by analyzing its growing database of almost 1 million games and 2.5 million images. Ludo, like game design, is iterative, so developers can choose the best ideas and elements that Ludo proposes and then repeat the process to ‘zero-in’ on more ideas with those features.
The input of over 200 studios and developers during the beta phase has led to significant platform enhancements, including the breakthrough pricing model that includes a 30-day free trial and subscriptions from just $20USD per month. This means that Ludo is now accessible to every developer; from solo devs, students and hobbyists to larger studios, democratizing the gamestorming process for all.
New Ludo features include:
- Generate Game Design Documents – When users settle on an idea they want to take further, Ludo can automatically populate a game design document template with the written game concept, including artwork, mechanics and other game images, getting teams rapidly to the concept presentation, MVP or accelerated soft launch phase.
- Top Chart Integration – Developers can now use the iOS and Android game charts as part of their gamestorming process, creating game design ideas based on elements, themes and treatments from the titles trending ‘at the moment’. This ensures developers can ride the waves of popularity when considering ideas for their next hit title.
- A New UX and UI – A new experience and interface has been developed making it even quicker, easier and more intuitive to navigate the platform and rapidly develop game design ideas. A new set of helpful animations also helps to onboard and orientate users the first time they use Ludo.
The pressure on developers to release games is as huge as the 159.3 billion* dollar industry gaming has become. Having the gamestorming resources, time and insights to understand the industry and the variety of games available is almost impossible. Ludo takes the heavy lifting out of the gamestorming process, allowing teams of all sizes to explore completely new game ideas, and find opportunities for titles that can ride the latest gaming trends.
Tom Pigott, CEO of Jet Play, the developer of Ludo said,”The new features in Ludo are the result of the fantastic feedback we received during the open beta, and make it even easier for anyone to come up with a great game idea. AI has been in games for over 40 years, and now it’s part of the development process. The positive response to the Ludo platform tells us that it is becoming a key part of the developer toolkit for our users.”

Breaking New Ground in Brazil: Blitzcrown’s Crash Games Now GLI Certified
Blitzcrown, MVG’s pioneering games studio, has secured Brazilian Certification as well as GLI-19 Certification from GLI(Gaming Laboratories International) for its industry-changing three Crash titles. This landmark achievement marks a significant milestone in the company’s expansion into Brazil’s thriving online gaming market, positioning Blitzcrown at the forefront of the region’s rapidly evolving iGaming landscape.
The license comes at an important time for Brazil’s gaming sector, following the launch of the new licensing regime that started on January 1, 2025. The regulatory framework, signed into law in December 2023, has transformed the industry’s prospects.
The certification encompasses 3 innovative crash games: Crash, Fast Crash, and Twin Crash. This strategic milestone establishes Blitzcrown as the premier provider of certified Crash games in the Brazilian market, demonstrating the company’s unwavering commitment to regulatory excellence and gaming integrity. With the GLI-19 and Brazil certification process successfully concluded in March, Blitzcrown has solidified its position as an industry pioneer in this dynamic and emerging market.
Crash games are a recent addition to the global iGaming market, featuring the dynamic evolution of real-time multipliers and immediate reward structures. Blitzcrown has stood out by establishing groundbreaking game mechanisms that offer different and exciting gameplay experiences. Standard Crash provides players with a standard multiplier-based gaming experience, and Fast Crash is optimized for users seeking quick, intense multiplier experiences. The Twin Crash is an original format allowing players to place simultaneous bets on two separate multipliers.
Building on this momentum, Blitzcrown has announced plans to expand its certified portfolio with two additional versions of its innovative Plinko games, demonstrating the company’s strategic commitment to market expansion. This forward-looking initiative underscores Blitzcrown’s dedication to continuous innovation and sustainable growth in the regulated gaming markets.
Blitzcrown is MVG’s edge-game studio focused on pushing game ideas beyond their norms through innovative and non-traditional gaming experiences. The studio has been particularly recognized for its groundbreaking approaches in various game categories, including its successful Crash and Plinko series.
George Cho from MVG said: “This GLI certification testifies to Blitzcrown’s unwavering commitment to offering top-quality, fair gaming systems. We are well placed to take advantage of Brazil’s exciting new regulatory environment and the vast growth potential of the online gaming industry.”

QTech Games sharpens its LatAm focus with MINCETUR licence in Peru

New certification for emerging-markets leader arrives ahead of key industry summit in Sao Paulo and awards recognition
QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for emerging markets, has had its platform and games successfully approved for the Peruvian market, demonstrating that its premier B2B platform and all-encompassing content conforms to the latest legislative updates to enhance and regulate Peru’s local gaming environment.
Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Commerce and Tourism (MINCETUR) has now issued an online gaming licence to QTech Games, whereby all its platform products and games are now deemed legally permitted. This includes its new software service for retail, QTech Hybrid, which allows land-based partners to scale their operations online. QTech Hybrid simplifies transactions by enabling deposits, withdrawals and gameplay while allowing access to players both in-shop and on personal devices.
This breakthrough hybrid solution has quickly won clients and awards in the comparably fragmented African market (most recently in March for Best Innovation at AGE Lagos), and now promises to do likewise across LatAm, where QTech Games has already signed several major clients for both its aggregation platform and its QTech Hybrid solution. This activity has seen it again nominated for Best Aggregator at the SiGMA Americas Awards, which kickstart the SiGMA Americas summit (7-10 April) next week, as the igaming world converges on Sao Paulo for a must-attend conference in another of QTech Games’ “focus markets” for 2025.
Philip Doftvik, QTech Games’ CEO, said: “It’s fantastic to have certified our aggregation platform in Peru via MINCETUR – and I’m pleased to say we have more such approvals pending across the continent. We attended fantastic events in Rio and, more recently, SAGSE 2025 in Buenos Aires – and anticipate more of the same at SiGMA Americas in Sao Paulo next week, where we’re also thrilled to have been shortlisted for Best Aggregator at their LatAm Awards. Given the venue, Brazil will be dominating the discussion for many at SiGMA Sao Paulo. However, we’ll also be looking beyond Brazilian borders this year, and are already active in Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Paraguay. We know our QTech Hybrid solution will work very well wherever we put a pin on the LatAm map.”
QTech Games delegates will be present at five more LatAm summits in 2025, with SiGMA Americas (7 April) the next port of call – followed by GAT Expo Cartagena (28 April), SBC Americas (13 May), Peru Gaming Show (18 June) and GAT Expo Mexico (28 Aug).
