Next Tier Ventures Invests in Nilo, the Voice-Driven AI Game Engine
- Next Tier Ventures backs Nilo, a generative AI platform that lets creators build 3D games with natural language.
- Founded by Unreal Engine and Fortnite alum Nuno Leiria, Nilo redefines how immersive experiences are made.
Next Tier Ventures has invested in Nilo Technologies, a browser-based platform that enables the creation of 3D games using generative AI and natural language processing. Users can quickly build environments, animate objects, and apply physics through voice or text input. These projects can be shared and explored collaboratively online.
The platform supports gameplay, collaboration across web and mobile devices, and apps like Discord and Telegram. Through AI-driven tools, Nilo allows users to animate characters and define interactions between digital objects. Its features and available 3D environments continue to expand through regular updates.
Nilo, launched by Nuno Leiria—whose experience includes work on Unreal Engine and Fortnite—introduces a new approach to building interactive 3D environments with AI. The company has secured support from partners including Meshy, Tripo, Google, and a16z, with investment also coming from Flex Capital and Logan Kilpatrick of DeepMind and OpenAI.
🌀 Tom's Take:
AI is opening up world-building to a broader audience. Tools that let people create through natural language are lowering barriers and bringing new voices into game and immersive content development.
