New Game Ideation UI

We have revamped the Game Ideator user interface to offer more information and about the generated game ideas, and include current market context. For each game idea, you can now see:

• Similar Trending Games: similar or related games that are currently in the top charts (click for additional information)
• Similar Games: similar games found in all games ever released in Play Store, App Store, or Steam.
• Related Game Trends: related trending game topics (click for additional information)
• Generation Parameters: what were the inputs used to generate this game idea

With this information, you can make better informed choices without leaving the game ideation tool, speeding up the brainstorming and research process.

To try the new UI, simply head over to the Headquarters or the Game Ideator and generate some new game ideas.

Improved image generation quality and editing capabilities

Improved image quality

We’ve rolled out a number of improvements to our image generator that improve the quality of the generated images, specifically:

• Images now generally have more and better details.
• Improved image contrast and clarity.
• Results are now more diverse: when the same image generation prompt is used, you can now expect more different and varied results.

Example of 3 image generations with the prompt “endless runner”:

Image edition with instructions

When editing images, you can now write in the prompt what you want changed in the image.

To use this feature, click on the Edit button in one of the images in the image generator (or in the Game Concept tool), and then type in your modification instruction in the prompt. Notice that the image strength dictates how much the original image should be preserved. So, if you want to make large modifications to your image, you should set the strength lower.

Possible instructions include:

• Add new elements
• Removing or modify existing elements
• Replace some elements with something else
• Change the color scheme, setting, or style.

Here’s an example:

Ludo's Major Update: Smarter AI, More Creativity, and Trend Insights

We’re excited to announce a major update to Ludo, bringing you a host of new features and improvements across the board.

New LLM powering Ludo AI

We've introduced a powerful new language model (LLM), trained on a significantly larger dataset of gaming and game development knowledge, and with a larger context window.

This upgrade, combined with a new inference infrastructure, delivers significantly faster generations, better chat and game concept interactions, and overall higher quality and higher relevance results.

Game Ideator and Image Generator with history

You can now see all your previous generations in the Game Ideator and Image Generator. You can now easily go back to one of your previously generated ideas and start generating new ones based on it.

Input suggestions in the Game Ideator

Don’t know where to start? Ludo now gives you a hand. We analyse current trends and your past activity to give you suggestions for inputs to use in the Game Ideator tool. Try them out or combine them with your own inputs.

Improved trends

We added clear titles for trending topics, and added a new sorting option for topics: "Uniqueness". You can now list the trending game topics or new releases game topics by originality. Get inspired by unexpected game trends.

Trending topics as inputs throughout the platform

Across the Headquarters, Game Ideator, Image Generator, Search, Trends, and Market Analysis, you can now use as input a trending topic. Just start typing and Ludo will search for relevant trending topics, which you can add to your inputs.

Improved image generation creativity

The creative mode in the Image Generator has been greatly improved. Even when your input is simple and minimal, Ludo can now generate a good variety of elaborate and detailed images.

New element types and better images in Game Concepts

We’ve added new sections to the Game Concept related to Monetization: Monetization Model; In-App Purchases; and Live Events. You can now more easily get help from Ludo to turn your game into a commercial success.

Your feedback and support have been invaluable in shaping Ludo into the powerful tool it is today. We encourage you to dive in and explore all the new features and improvements. As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions as we continue to refine and enhance the platform.

Auto Game Concept

Get ready for "Auto Game Concept," a revolutionary feature set to transform your game development process. With just a selection of a generated game idea, Ludo will automatically craft a comprehensive game concept for you. This includes detailed sections on mechanics, features, characters, and more, accompanied by vivid images. It’s like having a creative brainstorming partner that not only suggests ideas but also fleshes them out into complete game concepts, making your creative process smoother and more efficient.

Just click "Select this idea" in a generated game concept and then choose one of the templates (or make your own!)

"Ask Ludo" Chatbot

We're thrilled to introduce "Ask Ludo," our newest feature in the Game Concept tool. This advanced AI chatbot is designed to interactively assist you in refining and developing your game ideas. Whether you need quick suggestions, feedback, or guidance on your game concepts, "Ask Ludo" is here to provide immediate, intelligent support. This innovative tool is a testament to our commitment to enhancing the game development process with AI-driven solutions, making ideation more interactive and efficient than ever.

Improved Image Generator

Ludo.ai is proud to introduce our new and improved Image Generator, developed specifically for Indie Game Developers and Video Game Studios. While we have made various iterations and upgrades to our Image Generator tool in the past, this marks a significant milestone in the evolution of Ludo.ai’s image generation technology.

Video Generator

We've recently launched a beta version of our Video Generator feature. This new tool allows for text-to-video, video-to-video, and image-to-video conversions, providing a useful, albeit preliminary, way to visualize game concepts. While still in the development phase, it offers a unique opportunity for users, especially indie studios, to experiment with different styles and presentations of their game ideas. This feature is part of our ongoing effort to enhance the game development experience with innovative tools.
