#CRUSADER KINGS 2 PLUS DROPBOX SERIES#
Kakao Games, a South Korean game developer, led the company’s Series A, which should provide its team of 25 full-timers and 12 contractors plenty of breathing room to get the game right.Īnd speaking of taking time to get the game right, let’s talk about Paradox. In a more nuts/bolts sense, Frost Giant raised a $4.7 million seed round after being founded in 2020, later adding another $5 million to that round. Not just building more B2B SaaS.įor now, Frost Giant is staying mum on setting and anything more substantial about the game’s core elements, so we’ll be keeping an eye on what it’s building. In a good way, I think this is what venture capital is for – venturing into the unknown. And to do so with new IP as the core is a big gamble. Per the company, it’s being built to be a game as a service of sorts, with a long shelf life. And the group is talking to esports players as well so that it works out of the box for more competitive battles. It should feature, we learned, a campaign and multiplayer capabilities. But! It will be a real-time strategy (RTS) game, a genre made famous by beloved entries like Age of Empires and Starcraft. Details are somewhat sparse at the moment because the company is still a ways from releasing its title. I got on the phone the other day with its founders – the Two Tims – to chat through what they are building. As a business and technology journalist, I am curious as well. As a longtime fan of the genre, I am incredibly excited about this. One such company is Frost Giant, which announced a Series A this week worth $25 million, and is building a de novo RTS game.
While the venture capital world loses its mind over crypto-based video games bringing fiscally focused activity to the “gaming” space, some builders are sticking to more traditional models. We’re talking gaming and competition, two of my very favorite things. Today’s Exchange note is somewhat brief, and, I hope, good fun.
