BEAR&SKUNK: Setting the Standard for Next-Generation XR Content.
Established in September 2023, BEAR&SKUNK was founded to develop and distribute compelling XR content. We focus on the high-growth XR sector, building and propagating the appeal of content and IP through next-generation technology. Our name combines the vision of 'BEAR,' inspired by Ursa Minor which contains the North Star, symbolizing our goal to become a guiding benchmark for humanity, with 'SKUNK,' representing a fast and efficient development team on a mission to secure market-dominating impact.
The current VR market faces clear challenges: a high barrier to entry for beginners due to motion sickness and complex controls, and low graphical fidelity that hinders immersion. To solve this, BEAR&SKUNK has built a strategic portfolio that simultaneously pursues two core objectives: one to build a stable foundation and another to drive explosive growth. We aim to lower the market's entry barrier with healing content for VR novices while capturing the hardcore user base with an AAA-quality VR game, ultimately targeting the entire VR market.
Our core competency lies in our proven leadership and innovative technology. Our CEO is a 16-year veteran planner with experience in commercializing major PC, Mobile, and XR projects, including serving as a lead scenario planner for the AAA game 'LOST ARK' and directing XR business for major corporations. This background provides a deep understanding of both IP setup and business strategy. Furthermore, we leverage the power of Unreal Engine and Procedural Content Generation (PCG) to overcome the limitations of standalone devices and have secured proprietary technology by filing patents related to generative AI.
