Turning childhood game into Roblox with LLMs: kids build and play, AI democratizes game creation

Developer haltakov shares how he turned his childhood game 'Baba Yaga' into a Roblox game over the weekend. He invented the game at age 10, where kids have a safe house, characters give quests, and Baba Yaga hunts them. After replaying it with his son and cousins, they decided to build it in Roblox. He set up the foundation, and soon three kids were taking turns giving prompts to improve the game. He doesn't know Luau, but LLMs made it possible. Watching kids switch between playing and building was the best part.
