Indie developer Welevel raises $5.7m in fundingStudio will use investment to support its in-house AI platform and development of upcoming AAA sandbox survival titleImage credit: Welevel News by Sophie McEvoy Staff Writer Published on March 7, 2025 Munich-based indie developer Welevel has raised $5.7 million in a funding round led by Bitkraft Ventures.The studio said it will use the investment to support the development of its in-house AI platform, and to expand its core team "twofold" in preparation for its upcoming AAA sandbox survival game.The untitled project has been in development since 2021 and is set to begin early access in 2026.Additional investors include BMWK and Goodwater, alongside angel investors including Chris Carvalho (Roblox board member), Daniel Weinand (Shopify co-founder), Heiko Hubertz (Bigpoint founder), Kun Gao (Crunchyroll co-founder), Nate Mitchell (Oculus co-founder), Ralf Reichert (ESL co-founder), and Mario Gtze."AAA development needs a massive amount of resources and budget which indie game studios usually do not have," said Welevel CEO Christian Heimerl."Having used AI in my former companies, I recognised the potential it has to empower small, passionate teams to produce games."In the past four years, our team has engineered tools and an AI platform that allows us to not just rival AAA studios, but surpass them with a living, breathing world. With Bitkraft, we found a partner who shares our passion and vision."Bitkraft Ventures partner Jasper Brand added: "While it is a tall order for an emerging studio to take on AAA ambitions in a large genre, especially in the early stages of AI adoption in gaming, we believe that lean teams who rethink development and break current limitations in time and scope will unlock unprecedented gameplay and distribution vectors."Welevel, having established remarkable technological foundations over four years with only a handful of developers, is making creative decisions at rapid speed and marginal cost."

The second lunar lander made by Intuitive Machines has touched down on the Moon, but like the private aerospace companys first spacecraft, it may not be upright. The Athena vehicle for Intuitive Machines IM-2 mission landed yesterday just 100 miles from the lunar south pole, but theres uncertainty around its orientation which may impact the missions duration.We dont believe were in the correct attitude on the surface of the Moon yet again, Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus said during the post-landing news conference.Were going to get a picture from the lunar reconnaissance orbital camera from above and well confirm that over the coming days.Data from Athenas Inertial Measurement Unit indicates that were oriented somewhat on our side, according to Altemus. Odysseus, a near-identical Intuitive Machines lander that became the first privately owned spacecraft to reach the Moons surface last year, shared a similar fate when it toppled over during its own landing. Athena touched down just a few days after the Blue Ghost private lander created by Firefly Aerospace, which landed in an upright, stable configuration on March 2nd.The IM-2 mission is part of Intuitive Machines partnership with NASA to help return future crewed missions to the Moon. Athena was launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on February 26th, and carries 11 payloads and scientific instruments designed to find evidence of water on the lunar surface.The Athena lander is charging on the surface according to Altemus and is communicating with the mission ground network team on Earth, but performance is sub-optimal, which may cut Athenas ten-day lifespan short. We have done some power conservation steps as prudent measures to see how long and what objectives we can accomplish in the mission going forward, said Altemus. It will be off-nominal, because were not getting everything that we had asked for in terms of power generation, communications.Once the orientation of the lander is confirmed, the IM-2 team can then establish how many of Athenas payloads and scientific instruments are fully operational including a drill designed to search for ice, and a hopping drone vehicle named Grace that aims to explore a permanently shadowed crater for the first time.See More:

The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max will reportedly be thicker than its predecessor, according to a new report posted to Weibo. This is just one of the many design changes Apple will reportedly make to the iPhone lineup this fall. The rumor comes from the leaker Ice Universe, who has accurately shared details about unannounced Apple products in the past. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will reportedly measure 8.725mm thick, an increase from the iPhone 16 Pro Max at 8.25mm. It would be Apples thickest iPhone since the iPhone 4S. According to Ice Universe, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be thicker to accommodate a larger battery. The leaker didnt provide any additional details on how much larger a battery the device will feature. As always, an increase in battery size doesnt necessarily mean battery life will be any longer. Apple might need to increase the battery size to accommodate new power-hungry features. The good news is that if you want an ultra-thin iPhone, youll have a new option this year: the iPhone 17 Air. This will be Apples thinnest iPhone ever, measuring an impressive 5.5mm thick. The iPhone 17 Air will have several compromises, such as just a single camera on the back, but Apple hopes the focus on form over function will be enough to win some shoppers over.
