Games are the richest thing people make, and by far the hardest. Maniacs builds the AI tools that take on the hard part, so anyone with a vision can create.

Teachers, coaches, parents, and developers creating games with Maniacs

What we believe

Make the difficulty optional.

The best tool disappears. We take on the complexity so anyone can create.

You stay the director.

AI does the building. The vision, and the final cut, stay yours.

Play with purpose.

Games are a powerful medium. Beyond entertainment, they can teach, train, and heal, and we build the tools to create them.

Ship in minutes, not months.

Traditional game development takes studios and timelines. Our AI collapses that to a single conversation.

Open by design.

We build for integration, not lock-in. Partners embed our engine into their platforms and keep full control of their product.

Share the vision? Let's build it together.

Whether you want to invest, join the team, or just believe in what we're building, we'd love to talk.
