The game coding platform Remix announced the completion of a $5 million seed funding round led by venture capital firm Archetype, with other participants including Variant, Coinbase Ventures, Lemniscap, and Zynga co-founder Justin Waldron. According to an exclusive report by Blockworks, this new round of funding will bring Remix's total funding to $6.75 million. Below is a comprehensive translated introduction report.
AI automatically generates game content; do developers earn passively?
Remix, formerly known as Farcade, has rebranded to Remix. Founded eight months ago, its initial goal was to create a multiplayer party game experience similar to Mario Party. As the product evolved, the team developed a mini-program platform capable of automatically generating games—an AI-driven vibe-coding tool that requires no coding skills; users only need to input prompts for AI to automatically generate game content.
Remix co-founder Charlie told (Blockworks) that on the first day of operation, they developed five or six games using the new tools, almost entirely coded by AI. This made the team realize that this is the future of game development.
Remix aims to be the TikTok of the gaming world
Currently, there are over 570,000 players on the Remix platform, with 800 games launched and more than 17 million gameplay instances. Remix employs a TikTok-like swipe interface, allowing players to play games instantly by swiping through game content. Charlie describes Remix as the 'TikTok of the gaming world.' Players swipe through games instead of videos, enabling immediate participation in gameplay. Remix has the potential to be the best starting point for game developers and creators to reach the top 100 or 1,000 players.
Remix supports users to 'mix and match' game content created by others, allowing modifications and re-publication, significantly lowering development barriers and making game development simple, fast, and nearly cost-free. However, there are still challenges in relying on AI for automatic development, such as inconsistent game quality or overly repetitive styles.
Remix integrates Farcaster and World App
Remix is actively integrating blockchain applications and AI technologies. In the future, users will also be able to sell virtual items or pay to increase their game exposure in information flows, among other features. Charlie stated that when anyone can develop games, the platform's traffic will grow significantly, and he hopes Remix can become the platform for game developers and users, which represents a huge opportunity for the company.
Remix's on-chain features include integrating user identities from Farcaster and World App, with a complete on-chain profit toolkit expected to launch in a few weeks. The platform has supported Telegram (based on the TON blockchain) and EVM-compatible World App, and will also be available on Coinbase's upcoming wallet application.
How to access the official Remix website?
Game creators or players can directly log in to remix.gg. According to reports, the platform can also be used through Telegram based on the TON blockchain and the EVM-compatible World App. Remix has revealed plans to launch on Coinbase Wallet in the future.
Snap Apps enhance game exposure
Recently, Remix launched the Snap Apps feature, transforming popular games into independent mini-programs with dedicated subdomains and custom URLs, enabling cross-promotion on platforms like Base, Farcaster, and World App.
Remix's profit model
The Remix platform will take a cut from in-game advertisements and in-app purchases (IAP); creators can sell in-game items or pay to enhance exposure. Currently, it can connect to Farcaster and World App ID identities, with a complete on-chain profit tool set to launch in a few weeks.
Remix has evolved from an early small experiment into a comprehensive platform that integrates generative AI, gaming, social interaction, and on-chain gaming economy. Through Snap Apps' complete revenue toolkit and cross-chain deployment on Telegram, World App, and Coinbase Wallet, it sets a precedent as an AI game creation social platform.
