If Scrooge McDuck piles of money are enough to get you excited about the possibility of developing games, then jump into the moneybin that is Klang Games’ Seed. The SpatialOS space colony simulator announced this week that it has raised an additional $22.3 million in funding. What’s even stranger about this is that the funding partially came about thanks to your favorite interchangeable building block toy company.
That’s right, the investment arm of the LEGO company (Lego Ventures) joined the latest round of fundraising for Seed. “Lego Ventures is excited to support Klang as they continue to push the boundaries of what MMOs can be,” said a spokesperson. “We believe in the team and the vision and look forward to joining them on this journey.”
Another interesting connection to this project is Birgir Ragnarsson, formerly of CCP Games and now, thanks to Novator Partners’ investment, sitting as the chairman of Klang Games’ board. This round of investment brings Seed’s total funds raised to $37.42 million.
