Onibi secures strategic funding to accelerate development and expand its AI-powered RPG, Tomo: Endless Blue, into Asia.
Independent game studio Onibi secured strategic funding in a round led by venture capital firms SeaX Ventures and Pix Capital to support its multiplayer game development. The capital injection will accelerate the development of its artificial intelligence-powered, open-world role-playing game, Tomo: Endless Blue, and underwrite its expansion across Southeast Asia.
The investment aims to introduce a new framework for multiplayer titles by establishing a user-generated content platform where players can design custom role-playing experiences. This backing supports the studio’s strategy to anchor its growth within the Asian gaming market while preparing for an upcoming alpha launch.
The initiative directly addresses technical barriers that traditionally separate players from game creation, allowing users to build shared worlds from simple prompts. By integrating proprietary artificial intelligence models with voxel systems, the platform accelerates the transition from conceptual ideas to playable content.
The development team comprises industry veterans with background experience from global multiplayer franchises, including Fortnite, League of Legends, and World of Warcraft.
The new funding will be combined with capital raised from a crowdfunding campaign to expand the studio’s global engineering and creative teams.
Benjamin Devienne, Co-founder and CEO at Onibi, said: “By combining proprietary AI models, procedural generation, multiplayer systems, and UGC tools, we want every island, village, quest, and player-created experience to feel different.”
Dr Kid Parchariyanon, Founder and Managing Partner at SeaX Ventures, said: “AI-native game development is one of the most consequential frontiers in the broader deep-tech wave, and the team’s track record — across some of the most successful multiplayer franchises ever shipped — is exactly the kind of foundation this category requires.”
