Atomontage rebuilds Virtual Matter for browser AI UGC

Atomontage has rebuilt its Virtual Matter creation platform to enable browser-based user-generated multiplayer games that players can enter via a link with no install. The platform uses ordered, compressed volumetric samples streamed progressively to phones, and adds an optional, model-agnostic AI agent for creation; expensive GPU inference is separated from CPU-only game hosting so play remains low-cost. Atomontage is backed by Makers Fund, Hartmann Capital and a group of angel investors. The company charges makers subscriptions plus metered AI credits, plans a marketplace and engine royalty model, and expects standalone export to itch.io and Steam later in 2026. Cofounders Daniel Tabar and Branislav Siles position the tech as lowering the floor for creators while raising the ceiling for professional designers.

• Atomontage rebuilt its Virtual Matter platform to enable browser-based UGC multiplayer worlds that load from a link with no install.
• The platform uses ordered, compressed volumetric samples streamed progressively to devices and stores persistent, editable world state.
• AI assistance is optional and model-agnostic; GPU inference for creation is routed separately while world simulation and multiplayer run on CPU-only servers.
