Talk Is Cheap: AI Game Studio
Run your own game dev studio
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
iPad
Run your own indie studio. Talk with your team, negotiate decisions, and make games with AI characters that live on your iPad.
You run a small indie studio. Your employees don't follow a script: they're AI characters living on your iPad, with personalities, memories and moods. They talk to you, push back, gossip, burn out, ask for raises, pitch ideas and quit if you treat them badly. And together you have to ship a game on time.
TRY IT FREE
Your first game is free, start to finish. If you like it, one purchase unlocks the three-year campaign and your save carries on from there. No ads, no currencies, no accounts.
WHAT YOU DO
• One-on-ones where you type anything and each of them answers in their own voice.
• Announcements to the studio, promises they remember, raises you negotiate.
• Real interviews to hire, and promotions that spark jealousy.
• You decide what goes in the game, when to crunch and how much to spend on marketing.
• Play the build your team is making, bugs and all, on a pixel arcade machine.
THREE YEARS OF STUDIO LIFE
Platformers, shooters, puzzles and racers. Publishers who call with demands, rivals who poach your people, a summer fair, year-end awards, three offices and four endings.
THE AI LIVES ON YOUR IPAD
The language model ships inside the game and runs on your iPad's chip, offline. Nothing you type leaves your iPad. Replies go through a filter and can only choose among the game's actions: the rules decide, the AI gives them a voice.
REQUIREMENTS
iPad with an M1 chip or later. Needs about 3.5 GB of free space.
In English and Spanish.
