Creating expansive game worlds—maps, environments, and levels—used to be a time-consuming, resource-intensive process. Now, generative AI can produce detailed, immersive environments almost instantly, drastically reducing costs and development times. For example, in the classic era of World of Warcraft, building rich environments involved extensive manual effort. Today, AI accelerates this process, allowing indie developers and small teams to craft ambitious worlds previously accessible only to industry giants.
