⚡About Onibi :
Onibi introduces Jamland, a cross-platform MMO Action RPG set in a vast oceanic world with unique islands, dungeons, and civilizations to discover. They have reimagined Minecraft’s gameplay by allowing players to freely create moving structures and interactive contraptions out of blocks, such as boats, flying machines, or even a giant mecha! Using GenAI, Jamland allows players to transform ideas into in-game elements with simple prompts. The game emphasizes exploration, adventures, home customization, creature taming, social interaction, and melds traditional MMO progression with boundless creative potential.
🚀 Why we invested:
With a unique blend of technological innovation and creativity, Onibi is building a sandbox game that will unlock new creative horizons for players, allowing them to craft their own corner of a vibrant world in which we can easily envision ourselves spending days. From the get-go, Benjamin has struck us as a visionary founder with a differentiated, bold and resourceful approach to both creating and bringing to market such an ambitious game.
👾 An MMO UGC platform:
Our partnership with ArkRep is a testament to our commitment to support creative ventures that push the boundaries of storytelling and bring powerful tales to players. The world of PC/console has not always been a VC darling category in gaming, and is today more competitive than ever, but we believe that there is huge potential for a grounded team with a solid plan, top IP-creation capabilities and a differentiated approach to worldbuilding, all assets ArkRep has cultivated. And as gamers partly forged by them, we hold an unshakable belief in the resonance of great stories.
🌊 Oniric world:
Onibi’s ability to attract world-class talents to create Jamland is a testament to the excitement that this project nurtures among gaming enthusiasts. In a world reminiscent of the most oniric and imaginative tales in gaming and beyond, they are poised to bring forth vast possibilities for a new generation of player-generated stories.
