AI game mod platform ModCraft raises tens of millions of RMB seed round
ModCraft, a platform for AI-assisted game mod creation and distribution, has completed a seed round of tens of millions of RMB, with investors including SenseTime Guoxiang Capital and L2F, and will use the funds mainly for AI model training and platform growth. The platform offers two services: letting users create game mods through natural language, and discovering, playing and sharing mods made by others; it currently lists 28 well-known Steam titles, including The Scroll of Taiwu, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and PEAK. Founder Li Shuo, a game-industry veteran, describes mods as an interface between games and the world outside them, and the team says it is already working with model makers such as ByteDance to train models on mod creation, feedback and gameplay data.
It is an early commercial bet on using mods to turn games into training and gameplay-understanding environments for AI.
