Unity unveils Unity Spark, an prompt-based tool for Google's AI games platform

Unity's new tool allows prompt-based game development, working in collaboration with Google AI.

Unity, one of game development's preeminent engine creators, has announced a strategic partnership with Google to leverage AI for prompt-based game development for Google's AI platform, which is dubbed "Playground." As part of Playground's developer environment, Unity is introducing a new tool named Unity Spark, a user interface specifically built for making games with user-created prompts.

In a press release, Unity describes Spark as an "expanded creation experience," that is capable of "unlocking robust, professional-level mechanics, high-fidelity 3D capabilities, and the ultimate flexibility of Unity runtime." Unity goes on to describe Spark as beginning game development with a text prompt to "eventually" grow into full game experiences, skipping the step of coding.

"This isn't about 'one-shotting,' said Unity CEO Matthew Bromberg in a blog post accompanying the announcement. "Asking AI to regurgitate an already invented game does not make you the next Hideo Kojima, any more than re-typing the first paragraph of War and Peace in your word processor makes you Tolstoy."

Spark, as part of a collaboration with Google, is exclusively for use with Google's AI platform, with the pair dubbing the entire environment Playground. Within the realm of Playground, developers using the tools can use Google's own publishing tools and share their work with others, as well as incorporate Google's own existing technologies for leaderboards, matchmaking, and community features.

"Unity Spark is about being able to create real, unique interactive experiences, Bromberg continued.
