Helsinki, Finland – July 2, 2024 – Bitmagic, a pioneering force in generative AI technology, proudly announces the successful completion of a $4 million seed funding round and the immediate public availability of the Bitmagic platform on Steam Playtest. This milestone underscores Bitmagic’s mission to democratize game development through its innovative text-to-game platform, enabling anyone to create fully playable multiplayer games within seconds simply by typing their desired game scenario.
The funding round was led by Korea Investment Partners (KIP), one of Asia’s leading venture capital firms, with participation from Supercell, Sisu Game Ventures, and a group of notable angel investors, including Zak Phelps, former Senior Director of Product Design on Fortnite Creative who joins Bitmagic as an advisor, and Maarten De Koning, partner at DDM (Digital Development Management), who joins Bitmagic's board of directors.

"This investment will propel our efforts to make game creation accessible to everyone, unleashing a new wave of creativity in the gaming industry."
Michael K. Lee, Executive Director at Korea Investment Partners, commented, "We are incredibly excited to support Bitmagic. Their innovative approach and advanced use of generative AI techniques position them as a true game changer in the industry. After evaluating competitors globally, we found Bitmagic to be significantly ahead of the curve, and we believe they have the potential to redefine the future of game development and user-generated content creation."
Bitmagic’s groundbreaking platform leverages state-of-the-art generative AI to transform textual descriptions into fully interactive, multiplayer 3D games. This technology eliminates the traditional barriers to game development, empowering users of all skill levels to bring their game ideas to life with unprecedented ease.
In conjunction with the funding announcement, Bitmagic is excited to reveal that their platform is now publicly available for free via Steam Playtest. This launch invites gamers and developers alike to explore and create with Bitmagic’s revolutionary technology.
"We believe that by providing free access to our platform, we can inspire a diverse community of creators and showcase the limitless potential of generative AI in game development. This is an early version and we are still just scratching the surface of what will eventually be possible, but already now you can use Bitmagic to create games only professional game developers could have developed," added Penttinen.
