10Six Games is a studio founded by creative game developers, artists and engineers. The co-founders have been making video games together for nearly 30 years including stints at Rockstar Games, Tiny Rebel Games, and co-founding 2K Games and 2K Sports. The team is made up of senior multi-disciplined professionals across engineering, development, writing, game design, and art. They are all friends who have worked together for years and started this team with a shared passion and goal: to experiment and discover what new game experiences LLMs could make possible. The Mission: 10six Games was founded by a small, close-knit team, to experiment and answer a question regarding LLM (and related) technologies: what sort of games could we make that would be otherwise impossible? What magic could we find? Our Philosophy: Player Centric and Customizable: We believe we can use LLMs to let a player be anyone they want to be. That this is the future of player personalisation and that this is the first real solution to representation and diversity in gaming. Ethical Innovation: We use AI to empower our designers, not to replace them. Every line of generated text and every procedural encounter is filtered through our "Infinity Platform” to ensure it meets our high standards for fun and fairness. Team Credibility: Games built by a team of experienced game industry veterans. The Result: Games where the AI responds to the players creativity with playable scenarios, rather than just generating static text.
