AI-Driven Games Generate Rapid Revenue Growth
Recently, a programmer named Pieter Levels utilized technology to create a game in just three hours, which quickly generated over 500 million VND (approximately $21,000) in revenue within just 9 days.
Specifically, the game allows up to 200 players to compete online simultaneously, employing a business model that combines in-game advertising and merchandise sales, featuring items like F16 fighter jets. According to Pieter Levels, this model resembles that of Fortnite, where revenue is generated through in-game transactions and advertisements. Although the game was created quickly, it still has significant potential for sustainable income.
Even Elon Musk is Impressed by New AI Games
Pieter Levels utilized the AI programming tools Cursor and the Grok-3 model from Elon Musk to build a server architecture that allows numerous players to compete online with the capability to update their positions up to 10 times per second. This development is seen as a major step forward in game development, as building an online gaming network typically requires significant maintenance of thousands of server lines. Additionally, AI is also used to optimize flight paths and enhance combat capabilities in the air.
As a prominent programmer known for various innovative projects, Pieter Levels’ success exemplifies the marketing potential of AI in simplifying the programming process, enabling individuals to create products that previously required extensive development teams.
Currently, the surge of AI in the gaming industry is not limited to independent developers. Major companies like Activision Blizzard have also integrated AI into their game development processes, from character design to creating immersive environments. Advanced models like GPT-4.5 and Claude-3.7 can even generate simple games within minutes, opening a new frontier for this industry.
