Can AI create entire games?

AI can assist in generating ideas, levels and character behaviour, but human designers refine mechanics and ensure fun.

How do I keep players engaged?

Use AI analytics to understand player patterns, then adjust difficulty, rewards and content to their preferences.

Is it ethical to use AI for in‑game monetisation?

Be transparent about monetisation and avoid manipulative practices; use AI to enhance enjoyment, not exploit players.
