modl.ai unveils Puzzle Maker - an AI-based development tool uniquely designed to support the demand for Match-3 puzzle levels
modl.ai’s latest AI-based development tool gives match-3 level designers the ability to generate hundreds of ready to use game levels overnight, removing a major time and resource bottleneck
