Who we are.

Big Wave Studios was founded on a shared belief: too many ideas never see the light of day because life doesn’t leave enough time 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.

Our platform provides a democratic space where users are given the tools to explore their creativity, express their visions and share them 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 and a published author my mission is to ensure AI expands human creativity rather than replaces it — opening new possibilities for 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.

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.
