Innovative tech startup, Little Umbrella, renowned for blending artificial intelligence (AI) with party games, kindled a spark with its widely played “Death by AI” game, drawing in over 20 million players. Now, the company is working to ignite an even larger flame with its upcoming AI-anchored social game, pitting friends against a cunning AI game show host.
The emerging boom in social games, coupled with AI technology, makes Little Umbrella stand out. Their strategy to speed up game development by employing AI as game developers shows promise for their forthcoming title, “The Last Show by AI”.
In this dystopian game show, players are thrown into a survival scenario whilst voting out friends along the way. The unpredictability of the large language models (LLMs) that run the show ensures every new game is an unexpected roller-coaster.
Little Umbrella’s AI-infused strategy goes beyond game play, as the company reported developing “Death by AI” in just ten short weeks. This rapid development has been made possible by the company’s unique Playroom kit, a cross-platform social game layer that combines multiple custom models.
Led by a team of experts including Tabish Ahmed, Little Umbrella aims to create low-cost, AI-driven games that can be played across platforms, potentially changing the face of the social gaming landscape.
