Vinci Games ne yapar

Vinci Games (YC S22) is building the next generation of social multiplayer VR games. Our first title, Blacktop Hoops, became one of the highest-rated sports games on Meta Quest with a passionate global community and critical acclaim. Our second title, Ruffnauts, is already one of the fastest growing F2P releases of 2025 on Meta Quest, with 30K+ reviews at 4.9 stars in its first month of Alpha Early Access. Ruffnauts combines creature catching, chaotic physics, and Gorilla Tag style locomotion into a groundbreaking VR adventure. The company is led by CEO Nathaniel Ventura (ex-Oculus, Google, Meta) and CTO Maciej Szcześnik, former lead gameplay designer at CD Projekt Red for The Witcher series. Our mission is to create genre-defining VR experiences that bring millions of players together.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build social multiplayer VR games focused on new gameplay genres. Our first game, Blacktop Hoops, is a highly rated VR sports title on Meta Quest. Our current release, Ruffnauts, blends creature catching, chaotic physics, and Gorilla Tag-style locomotion into a multiplayer VR adventure that's gaining traction rapidly.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Berkeley, CA, and the company is based there, with much of the team working remotely.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Berkeley is our base because of proximity to Silicon Valley and strong local tech talent. Remote work allows us to tap talent beyond the area while keeping centralized leadership near home.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

Bu, Vinci Games şirketinin gerçek YC başvurusu mu?

Hayır. Y Combinator gönderilen başvuruları gizli tutar. Bu bir yeniden yapılandırmadır: gerçek YC form soruları, Vinci Games'in kamuya açık verilerinden (lansman notları, kurucu geçmişleri, ürün açıklaması) yanıtlanmıştır. Vinci Games gibi bir şirketin YC'ye kendisini nasıl sunacağını gösterir, gönderdikleri metni değil.
