Studio Atelico opens iOS closed beta for Bobium Brawlers in Philippines
Key takeaways
- Closed iOS beta for Bobium Brawlers launched in the Philippines
- Players can describe creatures in up to 140 characters for generation
- Closed beta will expand to select North American and European countries in coming weeks
Studio Atelico has opened a closed iOS beta for Bobium Brawlers, its debut turn-based card-and-dice creature battler, starting with players in the Philippines. The studio says the test will expand to select North American and European countries in the coming weeks, ahead of a planned launch later this year.
Bobium Brawlers uses Studio Atelico’s proprietary on-device AI engine and models trained on artwork from the studio’s in-house art team. Players can describe a creature in up to 140 characters; the tech then generates a customised creature image plus a unique deck of cards that pairs with turn-based 1v1 battles using card mechanics and dice rolling. Studio Atelico says each creation is balanced through a mix of hand-crafted and generated elements.
The game’s setting is a whimsical sci-fi lab run by Dr. Ruzzoloni and his sentient robotic assistant BEPPE, born after Ruzzoloni discovered the compound Bobium when he spilled boba tea during an experiment. Examples of player prompts the studio highlights range from “a dinosaur shooting laser beams” to “a spaghetti monster wielding a samurai sword,” showing how playful and specific prompts can be.
Why it matters
Takeaway: because the Atelico AI Engine runs entirely on-device and uses models trained on Studio Atelico’s art team, creature images and their matching decks are generated locally from a player’s 140-character prompt rather than relying on server-side artwork processing.
