AI game platform Versed has raised €1.6 million in a pre-seed funding round.
It aims to allow users to build virtual worlds with dialogue, characters, and turn-based combat by just writing in the resource development tool.
The round was led by Gradient Ventures, Google's AI- venture fund, along with participation from Cheery Ventures.
The investment also included funding from Framer and Remote. Versed was founded this year by Robert Gaal, formerly of Google, Y-Combinator alumni Cat Burton, and Unity veteran Mind Candy.
