Today we announced Bobium Brawlers, our first game. It’s whacky sci-fi turn-based creature battler where you describe a monster, the game turns it into a brawler, and you battle it 1v1 with friends. Weird, playful, and something that could only be done with AI. Launching in 2026

We raised $5M in seed funding! 🎉
Will use it to make better games: worlds that react, characters that riff, stories that grow in unexpected ways.
We’re also building tools so other devs can do the same.
Here's the full story: atelico.studio/blog/funding...

AI in games can flood the world with forgettable slop or help artists make the impossible playable.

We only use AI if
✔️ Artists approve how their work is used
✔️ Revenue is shared
✔️ Labor and creativity are respected

Very cool product! :)

It's a great question. The engine has multiple component that can be used to achieve simpler and harder tasks (i.e. deciding if to chat with an other characters vs generating the actual dialogue). The biggest bottleneck is VRAM and the smallest models go as low as 500m

Can’t wait to see what game developers will build with the Atelico AI Engine! The possibilities for richer, more dynamic game worlds are endless. 🎮🔥

To showcase its potential, we built GARP, a tech demo inspired by Generative Agents. GARP demonstrates how our AI engine runs in real time, locally on-device—all without relying on the cloud and for free. 🖥️✨

Over the past year, my team at Studio Atelico and I have been blending the magic of gaming with AI to create something special: an on-device AI engine for games! It empowers NPCs, agents, and natural language interactions in ways that were impossible or prohibitively expensive. 🚀

Today, I’m excited to unveil a project that’s incredibly close to my heart. As a lifelong gamer, I’ve always dreamed of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in video games using my expertise in AI. Now, that dream is becoming reality. 🎮🤖 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT_v...
