Artificial
Intelligence
Curiouser director Reed Berkowitz has been designing commercial games and apps featuring generative AI for over 4 years.
He was the Creative Director of New Games at Latitude, (AI Dungeon) where he helped generate and evaluate over 150 generative AI game ideas and created innovative new experiences including one of the first commercial AI art services.
Since then he’s created generative AI metaverse worlds, AI art programs, Web3 games, and has consulted with many new and upcoming generative AI game startups including A16z Speedrun recipients.
Serious
Games
Educational and “applied gaming” are specialties of our company.
We’ve used games to help victims of domestic abuse, taught children how to do math, and helped fight misinformation.
In partnerships with the NFS, UCSD, Qualcom Institute, and many others we’ve been able to push the boundaries of TTXs, simulations, and games.
Our newest venture is working with the CDC as part of Insight Net designing simulations and exercises to help make the US more resilient and better able to face the unknown challenges ahead in global and national health emergencies.
Immersive Games
Ever have to help a million players all over the world stop a fictional alien invasion in real time over several months?
We have!
Our director Reed Berkowitz created the first Alternate Reality Game (ARG) back in the 90’s and since then has participated in all kinds of reality-based gaming and immersive theater. From traditional ARGs to Meow Wolf like immersive art installations.
Reed has also been called on as an expert to consult and lecture on weaponized game design and misinformation.
UGC and Platforms
The only thing harder than making a game is making a gaming platform!
But the metaverse needs makers. 💪
User Generated Content (UGC) is a way of life in modern gaming. As game makers, it’s our passion to help others find the joy in creating games others love!
That doesn’t mean it’s easy.
How do you motivate people to create on your platform? How do you teach them the tools? Reward them? How do you keep the platform safe and set community standards?
All questions we’ve grappled with!
