BigTime Background:
Co-founded by Decentraland and Zynga alumni, Thor Alexander, Big Time Studios recently raised $21 million in two funding rounds. Investors who participated in the initial $10.3 million round include FBG Capital, North Island Ventures, Digital Currency Group, OKEx Blockdream Ventures, Alameda Research, Circle Financial, and Ashton Kutcher’s Sound Ventures. The second round closed an $11 million fund that will apparently be used to invest in game companies adopting its technology.
Big time is described as a co-op action RPG played from a third-person perspective built on Ethereum. In Big Time, players travel through “space and time to defend history itself and battle against a mysterious force that is tearing apart the walls of history and time”.
Players will apparently encounter distorted historical figures, characters, and events throughout the game. In addition, they will battle alongside six other warriors to kill monstrous entities and earn valuable NFT loot. Players will be able to customize their characters with armor and clothes from various periods in history.

MetalCore Background:
MetalCore is described as an NFT-based, open-world, mechanized combat game. Players will be able to fight alongside their faction in territorial battles on a mineral-rich alien planet. Win vehicles and machines, craft gear, recruit pilots, develop land, sell and trade gear, and much more as players “battle for planetary domination”.
By playing MetalCore, users may receive in-game rewards through missions, PvP, or PvE matches. If fighting isn’t their style, they become a Baron and recruit their vassals through Barony (a renting and borrowing system in MetalCore) and let others fight with their vehicles on their behalf. Barons can also acquire land to mine for resources.
The first Alpha is due to arrive this coming Q3/2022.
