🔧 Workflow

Every day, collect customized requirements (such as theme, duration, difficulty, and interaction requirements) from educational training institutions, team-building service providers, and independent game developers via e-commerce platforms and private communities. Break down the requirements into prompts and input them into AI level generation tools to automatically output scene layouts, puzzle clue chains, and interactive logic frameworks. After manual testing to ensure the puzzle-solving process has no deadlocks, package them into standard digital bundles and deliver them directly to clients online, with no physical materials required throughout the process.

🛠 Setup Requirements

No hardcore programming skills are required; you only need to master the basic operations of 1-2 mainstream AI level editors (such as Y3 Editor or LevelForge) and learn prompt writing specifications to translate customized requirements into generation instructions. In the initial stage, build up 3-5 general theme level templates (such as patriotic education, team collaboration, and academic knowledge) with a setup cycle of about 10-15 days. Afterwards, these templates can be reused for batch production, bringing marginal costs close to zero.

💰 Revenue

① Selling general theme level packages by set (main revenue): Store and corporate buyers make a one-time buyout per set, at 499-999 RMB/set. Multiplying this by a monthly delivery of 15-30 sets yields an average of about 15,000 RMB, accounting for approximately 100% of monthly revenue (calculated from the range of 499 RMB × 15 sets to 999 RMB × 30 sets, based on case descriptions without independent verification, as of 2026); ② Customized theme packages (project service fees): Corporate team-building and educational training institutions customized per order, priced at 1299-2999 RMB/set. Combined with the former, this constitutes a monthly revenue range of 12,000-30,000 RMB, though its specific weight in the total revenue is not separately listed (case claim, lacking independent verification); ③ Platform transaction commissions: Selling levels on AI interactive film-gaming platforms and editor ecosystems such as Tencent's Zaohuagongfang (Creation Workshop), where platforms take a commission on transaction volume. In industry cases, the implementation of a 5-level tower defense demo was compressed from 5-10 days for 1 person to 3-6 hours for 1 person, though the platform's commission percentage is not public (case-level data, unverified independently), and the contribution share of this channel is also unclear; ④ Opportunity item - Mass production cost reduction and amplification: Official data shows that intelligent code generation drives an overall R&D efficiency improvement of 50%, with core code development taking only 15-30 minutes. This can amplify the number of deliverable levels per month, though the exact magnitude and its share of total revenue have not been disclosed.

💸 Cost

For the art side, Midjourney basic subscription is about 70 RMB/month, large model API call fees are about 30 RMB/month, and the basic version of AI level editors is free. The fixed monthly cost is less than 150 RMB, with no other additional expenses.

⏱ Time Investment

4 hours per day

🚀 Getting Started

Step 1: Register accounts for AI level tools such as NetEase Y3 Editor and LevelForge, and use official free templates to generate 1 demo level with a 5-minute duration. Step 2: Open digital goods stores on Taobao and Xianyu to list the demo, while sending cooperation invitation emails to local educational training institutions and team-building companies. Use the first month to run through the delivery process at a low price and accumulate initial customers.

🔑 Keys to Success

  • ✅ Seamless adaptability between puzzle logic and AI-generated scenes to ensure the puzzle-solving process is deadlock-free and meets commercial requirements
  • ✅ Ability to build up and reuse general theme level templates, improving batch production efficiency to over 2 sets per day
  • ✅ Capability to break down customized requirements for educational and team-building scenarios, precisely matching client pain points
  • ✅ Ability to build stable B-end customer acquisition channels to secure long-term batch orders

⚠️ 风险

  • ⚠️ AI-generated scenes may experience clipping, interactive logic deadlocks, and other issues, requiring manual testing and correction, which increases implicit time costs
  • ⚠️ Low-priced pirated level material packages entering the market may squeeze unit price space and lower overall profit margins
  • ⚠️ The commercial copyright ownership of AI-generated content is unclear, which may lead to infringement disputes if not agreed upon in advance

📌 Real Cases

  • 📌 A 4-person team used AI tools to batch-generate puzzle levels with a cost of only a few hundred RMB, achieving monthly game gross merchandise volume (GMV) exceeding 1 million RMB, proving the commercial viability of AI level batching
  • 📌 Photon Studio Group launched the "Zaohuagongfang" AI interactive film-gaming creation platform, attracting over 10,000 individual creators with monthly level package transactions exceeding 10 million RMB
  • 📌 Wukong Arcade launched the AI level design tool LevelForge, boosting individual developer level creation efficiency by 15 times, with an average monthly output of over 200 sellable level packages
