AI-equipped game creation platform Tiruki Today we announced the completion of a 1.8 million euro pre-seed funding round to allow customers to build video games without coding experiences and launch closed betas in six months.
The round was led by expert First Cheuk Fund Twin Pass Ventures and brought participation from Atlas AI^VB Fund I (Atlas SGR), XTX Ventures and SFC Capital.
“AI doesn't just tweak the end of the development pipeline with NPCs and asset generation. AI starts and runs the pipeline, creating new video game experiences that evolve dynamically around it. Player” he said Barn cracksco-founder and CEO of Tiruki.
Founded in 2024, Tilki is an AI-powered game creation platform that allows creators to build immersive games without coding experiences. Unlike traditional games with pre-determined storylines, Tiruki aims to create dynamic experiences in which non-player characters make autonomous decisions. Their goal is to make it so that every choice the player makes has a lasting effect on the game environment.
The 17-person Tiruki team is a combination of video game developers, AI researchers and machine learning engineers who have built the games for Atari, Sony, Microsoft and Nvidia.
Members of Tilki's senior team were previously involved in creating a user-generated content platform for 14 million players, in addition to establishing many other AI startups.
“The strength of the Tiruki team was a key factor in our investment. The fusion of experiences they bring, from gaming and AI to mathematics and product development, made us unique. Nick Slatera partner in a twin pass venture.
The company says that Tilki's AI-powered model can expand far beyond the possibilities of traditional off-the-shelf gaming experiences, as all interactions and decisions impact the player's environment.
In Tilki games, non-player characters (NPCs) are reportedly able to move freely around the world, make autonomous decisions that bring meaningful results, and have lasting impact on the environment. This creates a dynamic storytelling experience rather than the static pre-described interactions that have long characterized traditional games.
For example, Innkeeper NPCs may be willing to pay for their evening stay if it was all the players wanted. However (with correct persuasion) they could also inflict a rebellion, whispering a call to nearby NPCs for weapons.

“There is a future where anyone with a game idea can bring it to life.” added I'll cut it. “By democratizing the creation of games, it doesn't just change the way games are created. We are opening the door for a whole new voice to shape the medium. Through Tiruki, we empower the next generation of creators and help transform the $176 billion global gaming market. ”
Fundraising Tiruki is used to release the company's closed beta version (which will be released six months later) and subsequent open beta versions within a year. As part of this, Tiruki plans to create an accessible market where players can share strategies and components and collaborate on game elements.
