The studio behind Parallel published a wide-ranging update on its AI-first pivot:

Games: an AI-driven dev system turns player feedback and data into rapid Colony updates, with short release cycles focused on retention and monetization; the approach may extend to TCG.
Wayfinder: a simpler version in the works, plus token limit orders, stop losses, and major security upgrades.
AI initiatives: several new AI products being tested across markets; using video generation with the existing Parallel asset library to produce long-form video at very low cost, first videos expected by month-end.
Financials: operating costs reduced, roughly two years of runway, resources concentrated on products with strong retention and revenue.
