Elsewhere is a new kind of game studio building “generative games.” Our co-op multiplayer roguelike game combines the proven formula for procedural generation seen in indie hits like Hades, Dead Cells, and Risk of Rain 2 with modern generative AI techniques. The result is a live-service “forever” game (eg, League of Legends, Fortnite) developed at a fraction of the cost with massive potential for growth and retention.
I’ve loved games my whole life and have always wanted to work in the games industry. In 2015, I co-founded Human Interest, a YC-backed financial services startup that today is valued at over $1B. Having learned a thing or two about business, I set my sights on creating a game studio imbued with the potential of a venture-scale startup.
We’ve already raised $3.2M in pre-seed venture capital from the likes of a16z SPEEDRUN, HF0, and Floodgate (Mike Maples, Jr., first or early investor in Twitter, Twitch, and Lyft).
