Last June 2022, Oxalis Games raised $4.5 million in a seed round for the upcoming play-to-earn and farming game, Moonfrost. The round was led by Blocore with additional participation from Supercell, Pantera Capital, Animoca Brands, and Griffin Gaming Partners. Games industry veteran Sir Ian Livingstone and Phil Mansell, CEO of Jagex, are also onboard as angels.

Moonfrost is described as a web3 multiplayer, social-simulation, and play-to-earn farming RPG. Creators have stated that it combines elements of Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game is being developed by Oxalis Games, the UK-based remote studio. Oxalis Games was founded by Ric Moore (CEO) and Gina Nelson.

Ric Moore previously co-founded Bossa Studios and The Secret Police, best known for developing Stardew Valley for mobile gaming. Gina Nelson has led multiple art teams and worked with many major brands, including Gears of War, Star Wars, Hasbro, and Disney.

The Oxalis Games team is rapidly expanding, attracting talents from industry-leading game studios including the likes of Epic, Mediatonic, Sumo, Natural Motion, Unity, EA, and Ubisoft.

Nerdystar is a newly-formed affiliate of traditional games operator LINE Games. They just announced a $5.8 million seed round led by Blocore with participation from BITKRAFT Ventures, LINE Games, FTX Ventures, GuildFi, Formless Capital, VistaLabs, Seum, and SBXG.

Nerdystar develops and publishes web3 games on LUXON, its blockchain game platform. This round follows an initial investment of $5 million from LINE Games, bringing the total funding to $10.8 million. The investment will be used to continue to build the LUXON web platform and focus on game development, with the first game scheduled to launch later this year.

Luxon’s first game, Desperado B218: The Scars of Exos, is a turn-based battle role-playing game in which players control a squad of five characters. Desperado B218: The Scars of Exos will apparently have a distinct fantasy look and heavy anime inspiration. It will consist of NFT-centric gameplay where players can acquire assets either from the publisher or from the marketplace in order to take different roles in the game. With $LXN tokens users can purchase or trade NFT game items that are generated by the user’s game activities.
