Pixion plans to put the funds towards Fableborne, the studio’s action-based role-playing game that allows players to interact with on-chain assets built atop the Avalanche network. Kam Punia, founder and CEO of Pixion Games, told CoinDesk he's hoping to grow the game by building out its tech stack as well as hiring for roles across the leadership team.
“It's really building what we call these competitive multiplayer games, mobile-first platform experiences, but having competitive tournaments and player-owned economies are at the heart of the core game,” said Punia. “And so that's what we're really trying to build as an experience for players.”
