Today, that changes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Roblox&#8217;s Build will launch a test phase on July 28 which will bring a new mobile-first Build tab into the Roblox Studio within Roblox&#8217;s app. Roblox Studio is well-known among game developers as that&#8217;s where they currently create Roblox experiences. Build is going to bring new AI tools into the Roblox Studio. These AI tools will be powered by a &#8220;broad set&#8221; of AI models including Roblox&#8217;s own proprietary AI models.<\/p>\n<p>Using Build, users will be able to generate environments, characters, visual styles, gameplay mechanics, sound, and more without leaving the Roblox app and without needing to know the technical elements of game development.<\/p>\n<p>Game-makers will be able to provide Build with conversational, natural language prompts in order to develop their games and experiences. From there, they will be able to playtest their game creations and refine the output in order to fix issues, add elements, or continue to customize their game before sharing the final product.<\/p>\n<section aria-label=\"Newsletter Sign-Up\" class=\"relative invisible my-12 mx-auto w-full max-w-3xl md:my-16 ziff-component accent-cut-for-gradient-bg accent-cut-border-for-gradient-bg bg-gradient-fuchsia-secondary p-[2px]\">\n<div class=\"absolute left-8 px-2 font-sans text-lg font-bold leading-8 bg-white top-[-15px]\"><span class=\"text-gradient-fuchsia-secondary\">Mashable Light Speed<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"p-8 bg-white md:p-10\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col mx-auto font-sans\" data-ga-impression data-ga-category=\"newsletters\" data-ga-module=\"incontent_nl_signup\" data-ga-label=\"mashablelightspeed\">\n<div class=\"font-bold leading-tight text-left md:leading-8 header-300\">Want more out-of-this world tech, space and science stories?<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-2 leading-tight text-left bg-white md:mt-0 md:leading-8 header-600\">Sign up for Mashable&#8217;s weekly Light Speed newsletter.<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-4 font-sans text-xs leading-normal text-left subtitle-1\">\n                    By clicking Sign Me Up, you confirm you are 16+ and agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ziffdavis.com\/terms-of-use\" class=\"underline text-secondary-300 hover:text-primary-400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\">Terms of Use<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ziffdavis.com\/ztg-privacy-policy\" class=\"underline text-secondary-300 hover:text-primary-400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.\n                <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"py-1 mx-auto max-w-xl text-center\">\n<div class=\"header-300\">Thanks for signing up!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>According to Roblox, its AI models are trained on a large set of 3D models and gaming data so that they can generate fully functioning 3D models and scenes of their own.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">For 20 years, Roblox has been on a mission to remove limits on what gaming is \u2013 and what it can be.<br \/>Today, we&#39;re introducing Build \u2013 a new way for anyone to create a game on Roblox from their phone.
