◇ ONE Store Opens First AI-Created Game Zone Among App Markets = ONE Store, an app market that services various mobile content such as games and apps, officially opens the AI-created game zone "AI Games." AI Games is a space that selectively introduces games that creators have made directly using AI, where users can run and enjoy them immediately on ONE Store without separately downloading apps. As of the opening, it introduces 20 titles including "Ragnarok Breaker" and "Heros Unite."
This zone was built through a partnership with the AI game creation platform "Verse8." On the Verse8 platform, instead of writing code directly, users describe the game they want in sentences, and AI implements the planning, graphics, and play rules. Using the so-called "vibe coding" method, even those who are not developers with planning, art, and development personnel can complete a game. The genres are also diverse, ranging from idle RPGs to visual novels and 3D shooting.
This is the first time an app market has introduced a dedicated corner for AI-created games. ONE Store's concept is to bring AI games into the app market's verified distribution and payment environment through AI Games, providing creators with a channel to meet large-scale users and providing users with a point of contact to enjoy new games without the burden of installation.
An event to celebrate the opening also begins on the 11th. Each time users run a different game on AI Games, one 15% discount coupon is immediately provided, up to a maximum of 10 coupons.
