Ludo launches game-changing new Game Concept feature to support developers to plan, create and make great games

 

Ludo, the AI powered creativity platform for game developers, has launched the world’s first Game Concept creator. This new tool revolutionises the game creation process, quickly producing an integrated Game Design Document (GDD) at the click of a button. The Game Concept feature is free to use, and supports developers to create a gold standard GDD that can easily be exported and shared with publishers.

Ludo’s Game Concept feature is fully integrated with the platform’s many tools, including the Game Ideator, enabling developers to easily input characters, mechanics, storylines, levels, items, features and controls, with everything in one place at their fingertips. More than just an improved text editor, the presence of AI suggestions for new concepts in this new iteration of the platform make it completely unique.

The evolution of Ludo’s GDD into a unique Game Concept creator marks a move to a more rapid-flow, collaborative, ideas based workspace which can be used by any developer, student, studio or creator to ideate and present their ideas. Add to this Ludo’s state-of-the-art AI and machine learning features, and it’s easy to see why Ludo’s already sizable kit of creativity tools is a go-to for creators from every corner of the gaming industry.

Tom Pigott, CEO and Founder of Ludo says: “With the games industry continuing to grow at a remarkable rate, and more people than ever before keen to try their hand at creating games, making the development process as efficient as possible is crucial. Ludo’s complete creativity toolkit is the only platform dedicated to streamlining the game development creative process, allowing users to work efficiently and effectively.

“With our newly introduced Game Concept feature, we have succeeded in bringing together a wide array of useful tools to help creators to build an integrated GDD. This new feature is the result of Ludo’s research and the latest state-of-the-art AI. By having a range of creativity tools in one space, users can quickly conceptualise new game ideas, and create the perfect document to share with potential publishers.”

Ludo’s free online toolkit helps game developers to be more productive, with new features which have markedly improved the usability and efficiency of the platform. The Game Elements feature joins an already sizable kit of creativity tools, and has markedly improved the usability and efficiency of the platform. Users can now simply input a description of their game concept, or start from an already generated idea, and Ludo will quickly suggest hundreds of ideas for mechanics, game plots, characters, game universes, levels and many more. Ludo’s premium tools can save developers and creators hours of work and streamline their creative process, with the Game Elements feature alone reducing the time that studios spend on game design by up to 50%.

An improved UX integrates all of Ludo’s features, including the recently launched Image Generator, Daily Trends, Top Charts, and the Game Ideator. This means the platform is easier to navigate and more systematic to creators, ultimately allowing them to spend less time ideating and researching, and more time developing their concept and creating their next game.

In what is the fastest growing industry in the world – VentureBeat recently quoted PwC as saying the games industry looks set to grow by 4.4% year on year through 2025 – time is an invaluable resource. In launching these new features, Ludo has moved to streamline the game development process further than ever before, making it easier for developers to create their next games efficiently and effectively.

Everton Vieira, CEO and Co-Founder of IzyPlay Studios says: “It is important to have access to as many tools and as possible when developing your next game, especially when time is at a premium. Ludo’s data-driven platform helps produce games that are more likely to succeed within the industry.

“Our game ‘Adventure Miner’ was the product of using Ludo’s many tools and features. Blending games and genres within the hypercasual scene is almost guaranteed to produce exciting new concepts for games. Ludo is able to do this incredibly efficiently, and its wide array of tools ensures that studios are able to develop games that appeal to a wide audience quickly and effectively.”

Ludo uses state of the art machine learning and natural language processing to instantly suggest game ideas and mechanics, review gaming trends, and consistently provide on-demand help to inspire developers and creators. Users set parameters by providing keywords, natural language descriptions, game mechanics, or imagery and Ludo quickly returns multiple written game concepts, artwork and images, by analyzing its growing database of 1.2 million games and over 4 million images.

The complete creativity toolkit, Ludo contains a number of unique features including Slack integration, ‘Instant Feeling Lucky Generations’, an Image and Icon Generator, and a vast data centre designed to keep developers up to speed on the latest gaming trends worldwide. With the introduction of a new free credit system, the platform and tools are now accessible to all, with paid tiers available to help businesses to expand their use of Ludo’s functionality.

  15. 9z – 44.7% to finish 13-16th; 14.6% to make playoffs

  16. Imperial – 49.1% to finish 13-16th; 13.9% to make playoffs

It has been quite the run for NaVi despite their loss with back to back grand finals in recent weeks but CSDB.gg’s predictive model suggests there will be no let up for the Ukrainian esports organisation.

G2 will also be looking to build more momentum in preparation for Majors season with NiKo on a quest to finally get over the line this year to win his first major title. Hopefully Rio won’t have to see a repeat of his reaction in the semifinals at BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 where he punched a hole in a table after losing out to Team Vitality in a key moment.

However, the hosts of Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024 may want to lockdown any nearby furniture and reinforce their desks if G2 are set for disappointment at the semifinals stage as predicted by the CSDB.gg SuperComputer.

A victory in Rio could be even more consequential for how the end of the year shapes up for the leading teams on the circuit. The Valve Global rankings have both teams close at the very top (NaVi at 1988 and G2 at 1953) meaning a win for either team could hand them a key advantage when it comes to who enters the Majors as top seed.

Back-to-back wins in T1 events for G2, should they prosper in Rio, would set the Berlin-based team on an incredible trajectory going into the winter months.

Meanwhile, Brazilian hopes for glory look slight according to the CSDB.gg SuperComputer with FURIA, the team co-owned by Neymar, having only been given a 20.9% chance of even making the playoffs. 

They are the leading contenders to make an impact for the home crowd but there are other teams flying the flag for Brazil with paiN and Imperial also set to give it their best to give local fans something to cheer on.

In terms of forecasted matchups of note, G2 and FaZe Clan could offer up a fascinating encounter in the quarterfinals should both teams qualify, with each organisation rated as having a strong chance of making the semis with little to separate them should they meet.

The CSDB.gg CS2 Tournament SuperComputer is a predictive model created using world ranking points, team quality ratings and performance trends. An element of randomness is also included in the model to avoid the best teams and players always winning, to reflect the fact that upsets can happen.

Every tournament is simulated 1,000 times with the results aggregated into a percentage rating of the chances teams or players have to achieve the predicted result.

NASCAR launches persistent world on Roblox where players can become racing tycoons

Published

on

 

NASCAR is once again taking the virtual racing world by storm, this time with the launch of “NASCAR Tycoon” on Roblox created by Dubit.

Building on the success of its previous “NASCAR Speed Hub,” this new experience promises to deliver an even more immersive and interactive NASCAR world.

Developed in partnership with the renowned metaverse studio Dubit, “NASCAR Tycoon” allows players to dive deep into the management and racing aspects of NASCAR, offering a unique blend of strategy and high-speed thrills in a distinctly Roblox-native way.

Players will have the opportunity to jump in the driver’s seat of cars styled after NASCAR’s Next Gen Cup Series vehicles, competing against each other and managing teams in thrilling races. Earning fame and fortune as they build their virtual tycoon, players can make passive income while they play. As players progress in “NASCAR Tycoon,” they will unlock exclusive perks such as building their own NASCAR racing teams, expanding their garages, collecting new cars, accessing customizations and attracting sponsors.

The launch comes hot on the heels of recent Fortnite activations and follows the debut of NASCAR in Jailbreak and NASCAR Speed Hub last year – a virtual environment built by Dubit, for players to race around tracks linked to real-world races.

“We’re thrilled to launch ‘NASCAR Tycoon’ on Roblox, developed in partnership with Dubit, marking a key milestone in our ongoing efforts to authentically engage with the Roblox community,” said Nick Rend, VP of Interactive and Emerging Platforms at NASCAR. “This initiative is about more than reaching new audiences; it’s about deepening our connection on a platform where we see tremendous potential. By blending the excitement of NASCAR with the interactive and dynamic environment of Roblox, we’re enhancing traditional fandom in ways that are engaging, fun, and distinctly forward-looking.”

With over 300 million monthly active users, Roblox is ripe with opportunities for sporting organisations like NASCAR and offers a chance to engage with audiences in an immersive and interactive environment.

Andrew Douthwaite, Chief Commercial Officer at Dubit, shares his excitement: “We’re thrilled to bring the next phase of NASCAR to life on Roblox, building on the success of previous activations. NASCAR Tycoon allows Roblox players to experience the excitement of NASCAR racing like never before, blending the strategic elements of team management with the adrenaline-pumping action on the track. It has been a true joy working with such a forward-thinking, iconic sports brand in NASCAR, and we look forward to continuing to push the boundaries together”

Dubit has created Roblox activations, virtual merchandise ranges and experiences for global brands including Unilever, Samsung, Reckitt, Kraft, H&M and adidas.
