ChainCatcher reported that according to Venturebeat, game developer Darkbright Studios announced the completion of a $6 million seed round of financing. This round of financing was led by Bitkraft Ventures, with participation from Play Ventures, Anthos Capital, King River Capital, Rockaway X, Zentry, Caballeros Capital, Gam3Girl Ventures and Offchain Labs.

The company plans to use the funds to develop core games, starting with the life simulation game Smolbound. This RPG-sim hybrid is a player-driven world that seamlessly integrates Web3 technology.

Darkbright has begun closed testing of the game, with plans to launch it on the Treasure Layer-2 blockchain next year.
