Sandyfloor selected for TIPS to develop AI game automation technology

Sandyfloor, a PC and mobile game development and publishing company, has been selected for the ‘TIPS’ (Tech Incubator Program for Startup) by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. Recommended by Laguna Investment, the company will receive up to 800 million KRW in R&D funding over two years to advance its AI-driven automation technology for game development and deployment.

The project aims to integrate AI into Sandyfloor’s proprietary game development framework to automate repetitive tasks such as common function implementation, project configuration, and platform-specific builds and deployments. This automation is designed to allow small development teams to focus more on core gameplay and content creation rather than technical overhead.

Key technical goals include developing verification processes to ensure AI-generated code integrates correctly with existing components, detecting hazardous operations, and implementing functions to revert to previous states in case of errors. While the initial development will focus on the Unity engine, the company plans to expand its research to include the Unreal Engine.
