The open source studio for creators of real-time storyworlds.
VOLTAKU ( /vohlˈ täk o͞o/ ) is a web3-native real-time studio that is merging open source virtual production and interactive experience pipelines to create Living Stories that transcend platforms.
Our content is nestled deep in the worlds of anime, manga, graphic novels, and gaming, bringing a new level of epic worldbuilding and character-driven stories to the global otaku community.
As we create our projects, we're developing open source tools and pipelines to help other creators work in engine so they can expand their stories beyond passive video-only content too.
We believe the future of entertainment will be open source, cross-platform, decentralized, and, above all, democratized.
