19 days ago, we put Devin AI to work on Monster Walk, our Unity game.

What happened:

- Merged PRs per week: 52 → 879

- 48 automations now run parts of our studio

- A 24/7 self-improving system that keeps getting better

Now, we want to bring this to other game studios.

Talofa is partnering with Cognition to create a program: Devin for Gaming, Cohort 1.

We're building a 3-week cohort featuring:

- In-person workshops at Cognition’s SF office for 15 studios, with virtual participation available

- A final demo day with a $50K grand prize in additional Devin credits for the winning studio

- $15K in Devin credits for approved studios

- Plus up to $50K in 1:1 matching grants (65k total)

- A Devin plushie

- All game engines welcome.

Who should apply? Game studios that have raised a round from an institutional VC. Apply: https://www.talofagames.com/devin-for-gaming/

Going to GamesBeat Next, Nov 2–3? Let’s chat! I’m also putting together an intimate dinner for founders interested in learning more about the cohort. DM or comment below if interested
