From code to creation as XGENIA reveals the future of AI game development

An expectant crowd gathered on Tuesday evening, 6th May 2025, outside 200 Merchants Street in Valletta, lucky enough to get the first live look at what XGENIA believes is the next big leap in iGaming technology. Valletta’s ancient streets pulsed with something new, as if the city was ready to bridge the past and what comes next.

Beneath flickering lanterns, it was a spectacle with substance. A live-wire showcase where builders met believers, and the future shimmered just beneath the cobblestones. It was tech with teeth. Oysters, cocktails, and conversation flowed through the evening air, bringing together industry veterans, investors, developers and curious minds for a single-night experience designed to inspire.

It’s a quiet revolution disguised as a desktop application. And if CEO Mark Flores Martin is correct, it will shake up how games and gambling platforms are imagined, built and brought to market. He spoke exclusively to SiGMA News before the big launch. 

Where lanterns glow, the future gets built

XGENIA debuted a private, AI-enhanced development platform that promises to take creators from concept to deployment in a matter of days. Built as a local desktop tool that gives full control to the user, the platform lets developers build games, CRMs, backends, compliance tools and more, all without giving away a single line of data.  

And it’s not just game engines and jackpots. This thing can build content dashboards, compliance systems, and even tools that chase headlines or track market chatter while you sip your morning espresso, all without coding or crying into a keyboard. Mark said,

“This is not about replacing human creativity. It’s about amplifying it. And doing it in a way that keeps your data where it belongs — with you.” 

From prompt to prototype in a few clicks

The new platform follows the success of XGENIA’s earlier AI tool, a cloud-based chatbot that generated custom slot games complete with graphics, animations and sound. That product saw real-world adoption and industry praise, but the team soon recognised a larger problem.

“What we found was that the gap wasn’t just in tools. It was in understanding,” Mark explained. “Across iGaming and beyond, there’s a massive knowledge gap around how to use AI safely and creatively. So, we decided to build a bridge.” 

That bridge is a new breed of AI assistant that acts more like a research partner than a coding tool. It can scan the market, analyse competitors, explore compliance risks, create design options, and then build the product itself using clean code in JavaScript, TypeScript, PixiJS (a rendering engine for interactive graphics), React, and more. For those without a programming background, a visual editor maps out processes in a node-based interface. Users can drag, drop, and redirect AI flows like they’re building with the LEGO Group , with no manual coding needed. What once took months now takes days. What once felt impossible is now drag-and-drop simple.

“Some users might automate the entire flow. Others might want that final layer of human polish. The point is, you decide how hands-on to be,” Mark added...[Read More]
