Misekai

AI research, computational health, and immersive entertainment — built under one roof.

About

A studio for makers.

Misekai is an independent research-and-entertainment organization working across foundational AI, computational health, and immersive media. We believe meaningful work begins with curiosity and grows through craft, collaboration, and patience.

Founded by a small group of researchers, engineers, and storytellers, we work across mediums because the futures we want to live in don't fit neatly into one. We don't rush. We ship when it's true.

What we do

Six disciplines, one roof.

CoreAI

Core AI

Foundational research into next-generation model architectures, training regimes, and alignment.

AIFM

AI Force Multiplier

Tools that compound the output of small teams — agents, copilots, and workflow primitives.

OAAI

Open Access AI

Open weights, open papers, open data. Capable AI shouldn't sit behind a single vendor.

CDR

Computational Disease Research

Applied ML for rare disease discovery, target identification, and translational research.

IIM

Immersive Interactive Media

Games, simulations, and interactive worlds you can step into and stay in.

WE

World Entertainment

Films, series, and stories that move fluidly across cultures and formats.

LTW - Light the World

Product Link

Minato opens his eyes to find himself in a different world. On the brim of death, he sought for the scent of bustling friends, finding them face to face. However, as the world strikes resemblance to his previous life, Minato notices something off. This time, can he make the slight change that makes all the difference? Anticipated release date is 2025-2028.

AILANG
02 / 05

AILANG is a research project that aims to create a new programming language that is more efficient and easier to use than existing languages. The project is being developed by Misekai, and it is expected to be released in 2025. The main feature of this language is the compatibility with Large-Language Models, which makes AI-code generation significantly more efficient. Please read more in the documentation.

Warmth
03 / 05

Warmth - 2D RPG

Warmth is a 2D RPG game involving Wataru discovering a death letter from the future, indicating a tragedy that will occur in three weeks. He must find a way to stop it, and in the process, he discovers the truth about his past. The game is being developed by Misekai and is expected to be released in 2025-2027.

VL#65

F.lix and R.E.M, two soldiers travesing through space discover remnants of the war that just concluded. Here they find a unaddressed area, and seek to stop it. A sci-fi film produced with an anticipated 2025-2027.

Process

How we work.

01

Listen

We start with the world we want to live in. Research, conversation, doubt.

02

Sketch

Concepts before code. We test ideas with the cheapest possible artifact.

03

Build

Patient craft over fast iteration. Small teams, long arcs, daily practice.

04

Release

We ship when the work is true. Not before, and not by committee.

SZ

Steve Zeng

Founder

S. Zeng founded Misekai to build at the intersection of AI research, applied science, and interactive entertainment. He is a researcher with published work at the University of Iowa's Chemistry Department and Iowa Neuroscience Institute.
