Silicon Valley computer hardware startup Etched released a demo of its new AI-generated game called Oasis, which lets players create and modify virtual environments, effectively building a complex game from scratch in real time.
The Minecraft clone, named after the virtual universe created by Ernest Cline for the iconic sci-fi novel and movie “Ready Player One,” was created in partnership with San Francisco-based AI developer Decart. It’s being billed as the first playable AI-generated game.
Etched showcased the Oasis demo in a Twitter (aka X) post on Thursday. In the demo, players could navigate a block-filled environment, moving, building, and destroying terrain and obstacles as they go.
“This first version of Oasis is for research and proof-of-concept, showing that AI models can even do this,” Decart CEO and co-founder Dean Leitersdorf told Decrypt. “There’s no monetization there—it’s all free. It’s all just to show that this can be done from a research perspective.”
