Seed Your Next Hit Game with Ludo.ai’s Game Ideator

Monster Light Keeper, this whole game idea, its concept art and its design document, started as three words in Ludo's Game Ideator.

This is the Game Ideator on ludo.ai, and it all starts in one box, which takes keywords, a theme, a mechanic or a game title, so we typed lighthouse, sea monsters. Under Filters everything is optional, and the one we set is the Art Style, Illustration, because it decides the look of every idea's concept art. Then Start New Generation.

In our run three ideas came back, and each one is a card with a title, a short description, and its own concept art in the style we picked. The plus beside the grid makes more ideas with the same inputs, and clicking a card opens it. Every run is a new batch, so we scrolled back to an earlier run of the same three words, and that is where the idea this video follows, Monster Light Keeper, came from. KEEPER: Three ideas in a row, and that keeper is me.

It opens into its detail panel, with the title, the parameters it was generated with, Platform, Art Style and the hint it took from our words, then the pitch, and in our run a core loop, a setting, a key innovation and a progression. Below that are the actions, Create Project, Ask Ludo, which opens a chat about this idea, Copy Text, Generate Variations, which seeds a new batch with this idea, and Share Idea.

Create Project opens a modal with a checkbox, Automatically fill up content using Ludo's recommendations, which is on by default, so Ludo writes the sections for you. Each template is a set of sections, and clicking one creates the project, so we took Essential, which lists Mechanics, Objectives, Art Style, Universe & Setting, Playable Characters, Art and Gameplay. The document fills itself in, a title and description, an icon, a header image, and then each section, with text, and images where the section calls for them. That is the game design document, a living document you keep editing from here. KEEPER: A whole document about me, and I have not even fixed the lamp yet.

From here the project keeps working with you, because every section has its own Ask Ludo button, and the one on this mechanic opens a chat that already knows it. We asked it to make the mechanic riskier, and once we liked the answer, we pasted it right into the section. Then we asked for an illustrative image of that mechanic, and the picture arrives right in the chat. From there we just dragged it into the section, and it landed right above the mechanic. Inside any section the add menu can generate too, so we chose Image, then Generate, and it came back with pictures for this section, and the one we picked landed right next to the first. KEEPER: More pictures of my lamp, and it is still broken.

So that is the path, three words into the Game Ideator, one idea turned into a project, with Ask Ludo inside it, and every input we typed is in the pinned comment. KEEPER: I feed the monsters, and they fix my lamp. Start free at ludo.ai.
