Gallium Studios is described as an independent (indie) web3 gaming studio, founded by industry veterans Will Wright and Lauren Elliott. Will Wright is a significant figure in web2 gaming, having designed video games Sim City and The Sims for Maxis.
Gallium Studios recently announced a $6 million dollar raise led by Griffin Gaming Partners. The studio stated that they plan to use the new capital to develop simulation games powered by blockchain systems.
Additionally, Gala Games partnered with Unity and Gallium Studios in a $20 million deal to build out their VOXverse back in June of this year. VOXverse is the metaverse for Gala Games‘ VOX Collectible Series. Unity stated that it will use its development and real-time 3D platform expertise to work on the VOXverse project.
Gala Games decided to join forces with The Sims designer Will Wright and his team at Gallium Studios to help create the unique VOX world. Their metaverse will be powered by NFT memory and feature continually growing and evolving characters.
In VOXverse, every avatar has unique personalities and encounters, which can change over time due to in-game experiences. Players can build social influence, compete in factions, participate in world-building, own land in several dimensions, explore different terrains, and portal into Gala’s other live games.
