TILKI

What TILKI does

TILKI aligns game makers with AI innovations, creating and publishing bespoke games tailored to each player. It's an AI-native system that builds a living world from creative intent, populating it with characters that think and act, and running a deep simulation where every player's story is different. TILKI creates multiplayer open-world sandbox games as living worlds from scratch, allowing users to direct the game world and characters without code. The platform simulates entire worlds with NPCs who think, interact, and remember, leading to responsive worlds that never run out of content due to the Endless World Loom generating stories organically.

Products

• SeedThe starting point for a world, where ideas are shared through organic conversation and converted into world content. Users can upload existing notes or lore.
• CanonConverts the Seed into over a thousand pages of world content, images, and a full 3D map, allowing for detailed customization.
• LoomDisplays the world as a living map, allowing users to follow characters and observe unscripted actions. Changes can be made in the Canon.
• VisualiserTurns the created world into a playable game for players, with choices feeding back into the Loom to create new gameplay.
• Endless World LoomA technology that generates stories from the underlying laws of the world, its factions, history, and cause and effect, leading to organic conflicts and original stories.

AI approach

TILKI uses an AI-native system called a "game model" to build living worlds from creative intent. It generates multiplayer open-world sandbox games, populates them with characters that think and act, and runs deep simulations where player actions have consequences. The "Endless World Loom" generates stories from underlying world laws, factions, history, and cause and effect, leading to organic conflicts and original stories. The process involves a "Seed" for initial ideas, a "Canon" to convert the Seed into detailed world content, images, and a 3D map, a "Loom" to display the world as a living map and track characters, and a "Visualiser" to turn the world into a playable game.
