Arcustin Games, an Istanbul-based mobile game studio focused on hybrid-casual puzzle games built with AI-native development methods, has closed a $500,000 pre-seed round valuing the company at $10 million. The investment comes from Webrazzi GSYF, a venture fund created through a partnership between İş Portföy and Webrazzi.
Launched in 2025 by Barış Dikici and Tolga Dikici, the studio employs what it terms an AI-native approach, integrating artificial intelligence into production workflows while maintaining a compact team structure. This strategy is designed to create a model that minimizes capital requirements and can be adapted across multiple game projects.
The founding team blends seasoned industry veterans with emerging developers. Barış Dikici serves as co-founder and CEO after spending eight years in consulting roles that included advising on acquisitions within gaming and technology sectors across Türkiye. Tolga Dikici, co-founder and CTO, brings expertise from roles at major technology firms spanning mobile product development, game engineering, systems architecture and strategic planning.
According to Barış Dikici, "the company aims to build a resilient studio that makes revenue- and growth-focused decisions throughout the development process and can replicate successful approaches across future titles."
The studio will deploy the capital toward hiring additional staff, finalizing its debut game and funding player acquisition campaigns.
Webrazzi GSYF's portfolio includes earlier investments in Brix, GameByte, Orfeo Labs, Cypien AI, Parny and Next BigApp.
