Snapchat has launched new development tools to make it easier for creators and developers to build games on its platform. The latest update to Lens Studio, Snapchat’s AR creation platform, introduces the Bitmoji Suite and new game assets, enabling the creation of interactive Bitmoji games for Snapchat’s large user base.
With Lens Studio 5.10, developers can now use features like turn-based gameplay, enhanced character controllers for various game styles, and improved leaderboards with friend metrics. The Bitmoji Suite allows for personalized, animated Bitmoji characters and custom outfits, making game creation more engaging and social.
To highlight these new tools, Snapchat has released new Bitmoji Game Lenses, such as Bitmoji Bistro and Bitmoji Bucket, which users can play and share with friends. These updates reinforce Snapchat’s commitment to supporting its community of over 375,000 AR creators and developers, and are expected to drive more innovation and social gaming on the platform.
