Echo Chunk raises $1.4M to make AI-based puzzle games
Echo Chunk, the AI startup behind the viral free-to-play, daily puzzle game Echo Chess, has raised $1.4 million in a funding round.
The game notably offers a Blitz Mode that uses AI procedural generation, allowing you to compete on infinite runs in a roguelite take on chess. “When you see a big shift in tech, game companies that get it early have the best odds of winning” said Pincus, who started Zynga, in a statement. Echo Chess is a great example for this with its infinite Blitz Mode, and I can see this same approach enhancing an endless variety of user-generated maps dreamed up by its players of all age groups.”
