PocketGamer.biz: "Mobile's dirty secret is that the install is one of the biggest drop-off points"
PocketGamer.biz sat down with Atomontage co-founders Daniel Tabar and Branislav Šíleš to talk about the AI-powered rebuild of the Virtual Matter UGC platform.
A core theme: the install step is one of mobile gaming's biggest drop-off points. Virtual Matter worlds run instantly in a mobile browser - no download, no store page, no wait - for both creating and playing.
The conversation also covers prompting entire living worlds alongside friends and agents, and how a voxel-native substrate unlocks designs, mechanics, and emergent play that polygon pipelines can't reach.
