Worldspark Studios Raises $3M for NFT Games From Riot, Bungie Veterans
Summary
But with last year’s explosive rise of the NFT market and the success of Axie Infinity, the space is starting to draw in developers who cut their teeth making games for some of the largest studios around. Now, thanks to the seed funding, Thomlison has recruited veteran full-time developers from across the industry to not only overhaul and polish the experience, but also implement NFT elements and create a tokenized economy around Edenbrawl and accompanying games. Thomlison said that it was critical to create a competitive game that isn’t sullied by the ability for crypto whales to spend their way to some kind of functional advantage. Thomlison said that the studio’s aim is to create an entertaining and balanced game first, and then essentially use blockchain around the edges to boost engagement and incentives for players. Worldspark’s team includes former leads and directors who helped bring Riot Games’ massive League of Legends entertainment franchise to life.
