Human Computer, a San Francisco, CA-based indipendent game studio, raised $5.7M in Seed funding.
The round, which brought the total amount to $7.7M, was led by Makers Fund.
Tyler Matheson of Makers Fund will join the board, and Sam Rosenthal, The Game Band founder, joined as the first advisor.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its development efforts.
Founded by Alex Schleifer and Eliot Garcia Weisberg, Human Computer has already begun development on a broad portfolio of games that explore unique gameplay mechanics for the current-generation of consoles, PC and mobile devices. These in-development titles, which are contained and focused experiences, allow for more experimentation and innovation while maintaining high production values. The game studio also plans to integrate emerging technologies that enable new ways to make and play games that enhance storytelling and enhance human creativity.
Commenting on the news Alex Schleifer said: “We are building a game studio dedicated to premium, sometimes called ‘Triple-I’ indie games that combine high production value with efficient development that respects players’ time. We also are looking to rethink the way games are developed with smaller teams, new tools, and simpler processes.”
The studio’s debut title will launch in Q4 2025.
