Founded
2012Game of Drones is a San Francisco company that builds product intellectual property for autonomous-systems testing and AI-driven media production.
Game of Drones combines simulation tooling with media-production capability inside a single portfolio, letting it address both the experimentation and the presentation side of autonomous-systems work for one customer instead of splitting that pairing across separate vendors. OVERPASS is positioned to lower the barrier to entry relative to institutional-scale test infrastructure.
The organization holds a research partnership with Arizona State University spanning the Luminosity Lab and the MIX Center, a durable institutional tie that is independent of any single product release. It has recorded no outside funding rounds, so its development has been funded from operations or its founders rather than from disclosed venture capital, which leaves the product roadmap free of external investor milestones.

Demand for simulation and test environments is growing alongside the spread of drone, robotics, and AI/ML programs, because teams need to validate autonomous behavior before committing to expensive physical trials. Institutional-scale test infrastructure remains costly and access-limited, which sustains interest in lower-cost alternatives that do not require dedicated facilities.
Software simulation of autonomous systems and the use of physical drones as stand-ins within simulated scenarios both feed the same demand pool, spanning commercial, academic, and defense-adjacent programs. The production side of the market is expanding in parallel as AI-assisted tooling moves further into pre-production and post-production workflows.
Game of Drones presents its commercial activity as a product-IP portfolio built around two named offerings, TURNPOST and OVERPASS, marketed together under a shared Game of Drones Product IP identity. The two cover adjacent parts of one workflow: experimentation with autonomous systems, and the production of finished media from that work.
OVERPASS is positioned as a testing and simulation environment for drone, robotics, and artificial-intelligence concepts, usable in virtual or physical form and able to place a physical drone inside a simulated scenario. TURNPOST is positioned as an AI-driven production solution spanning pre-production through post-production, including storyboard work, and the portfolio serves teams that need simulation capacity or produced output without assembling institutional-scale test facilities of their own.
