The Pocket app from Meta has just been launched. Pocket allows users to create, share and play small games without coding skills.
Pocket allows anyone to create games. It completely bypasses traditional game development engines. Users simply submit a descriptive game idea and Meta’s generative AI does the rest, delivering a playable game in seconds.
Gizmos
Meta refers to these AI Created games like “Gizmos”. Gizmos is optimized for smartphones and can use:
- Touch controls including touch, swipe and drag.
- Game effects when shaking or tilting the device.
- Sound effects, custom audio tracks and camera access.
A new avenue for meta
Pocket features a discovery feed that lets users find and play new games built by creators around the world. It also provides a Remix feature that allows users to tweak the creations of other users by modifying the original game idea or adding new assets. While the app isn’t yet widely available in major markets like the US and UK, it marks a new avenue for Meta’s AI suite.
