Istanbul-based mobile game studio Mindtail has closed a $2 million pre-seed funding round led by APY Ventures, with participation from Inveo Ventures and Ak Portföy GSYF. The funding will support an AI-native production model focused on hybrid casual puzzle games, with plans to triple the team and announce a first game soon. The news comes amid broader industry debate over generative AI use in games, with studios like Owlcat, Capcom, Ubisoft, and 11 Bit Studios all drawing attention — sometimes controversially — for their AI-related practices.
