Who we are.

Big Wave Studios was founded on a shared belief: countless brilliant ideas never see the light of day because everyday life leaves too little time and resources for creativity to flourish.

It’s time to change that.

WHAT WE’RE DOING.

EMPOWERING ANYONE TO BE A CREATOR.

HOW?

ACT-GEN is a platform anyone can use to turn their imagination into mobile adventure games using generative AI — created without code, published, monetised, and instantly playable, all in one place.

STARTING A CONVERSATION

STORIES WITH SOMETHING TO SAY.

AI is sweeping society like a wave, poised to carry all before it. Globally, the old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. What will it bring? Techno optimism lives side by side with visions of Dystopia. Our platform provides a democratic space where users are given the tools to creatively explore these questions, express their visions and share it with others to play and experience.

Our Founders

As CEO of Big Wave Studios, I'm driven by a simple conviction: that generative AI can empower anyone to create, experience, and share extraordinary stories.

Lana Estemirova
Creative Director

As Creative Director my mission is to ensure generative AI expands human creativity rather than replaces it — opening new possibilities for storytelling and self-expression.

OUR MANIFESTO

The discussion surrounding the disruption posed by generative AI touches on the core of artistic identity and the value of human expression.

Artistic greatness may no longer reside in the ability to create new styles that can be easily codified and reproduced, but rather in the capacity to continually innovate beyond the mechanical capabilities of AI.

History shows us that art evolves with our tools; it doesn't end, it transforms. From the earliest tools to the latest digital canvases, new technology is a catalyst for new forms of expression and inspiration.

We believe we are entering a new era of creativity based on dialogue between human and machine, where AI does not diminish the art of storytelling but rather expands its horizons.

The most profound art reflects an inner truth, a resonance that one can point to and recognise as a genuine expression of the self. Humans alone possess the internal life and unconscious depths from which this springs.

It is from the fusion of the intuitive power of human emotion with the capabilities of AI that the next wave of artistic innovation will surge.

Our productions will embrace this evolution, providing direct commentary on our evolving relationship with technology and our place in an uncertain world.
