Today Game Snags $5 Million to Shape Future of Social Simulation with AI and Web3

Share

A $5 million seed investment is obtained by a ground-breaking social simulation game that uses Web3 technology to improve its novel features.

Strong support for the game’s distinctive path is demonstrated by the investment, which was led by Sfermion and Big Brain and included significant investors such as GSR, Collab+Currency, Lingfeng Innovation Fund, and Compute Ventures.

“Today,” the game’s aptly called title, sets itself apart with its deft use of artificial intelligence (AI) to give non-playable characters (NPCs) an incredibly rich and genuine personality.

Michael O’Connor, co-founder of Today, underscores the transformative impact of their AI-driven approach: “We’re setting new standards by replicating real-life nuances with advanced AI, offering players unparalleled immersion.”

But Today isn’t solely reliant on AI prowess; it also integrates blockchain and no-code technologies, empowering players to craft their own virtual realms and introducing exclusive in-game content through non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Benjamin Cleary, co-founder and creative director, emphasizes the game’s narrative-centric design: “Our narrative-first philosophy fosters genuine emotional bonds with our characters, enriching the gaming experience.”

In the future, Today intends to publish an alpha in the first quarter of 2025. The team is actively interacting with gamers via playtests on Discord.

With the support of an experienced group of industry professionals from well-known firms like Nintendo, SEGA, Epic Games, and Unity, Today promises to be an engrossing narrative-driven adventure when it launches fully.
