On December 10, Rainmaker Games, an open Play-to-Earn game platform, announced the completion of a $6.5 million seed round of financing, with participation from Animoca Brands, Alameda Research, Polygon Studios, CoinFund, Republic Realm, SkyVision Capital, and Merit Circle.

Rainmaker Games was originally a game guild similar to YGG, but in the process of operating the guild, the project discovered a market pain point - the game guild needs to invest a lot of time and energy in personnel management and training, which is consumed in process affairs The cost is too high. Will Deane, CEO of the project, said in an interview with Decrypt: "Look at other industries, real estate, SaaS... everything can be optimized through auxiliary tools, but in the field of chain games, there are no tools to help players enter the market, and there is no There are no tools to help guilds find the right players."

In Rainmaker Games' view, this is a market with great potential and yet to be tapped. to this end,Rainmaker Games has changed its positioning from an ordinary guild to an open game platform.

For players, Rainmaker Games will help players get started with various blockchain games step by step through advanced training and education. As players improve, they will also have the opportunity to contact the guild and be certified; for the guild , Rainmaker Games will provide them with a series of frameworks and tools to help them find new high-level players, and simplify the process through auxiliary management, thereby reducing daily operating costs.

In addition, the platform-based operation also helped Rainmaker Games break some existing business restrictions of the guild model. For example, in the guild mode, players can choose a limited number of game categories, and generally only rent the guild’s NFT to make gold, while in Rainmaker Games, the platform hopes to access all high-quality chain games on the market and become a new work In this way, players will be free to choose which game to play and use their own NFT freely.

All in all, under the new positioning, Rainmaker Games does not want to compete with anyone, but hopes to become a connection point between players, guilds, and games, and help these three different roles achieve a win-win situation.

According to the future plan disclosed at the time of financing, Rainmaker Games plans to launch the Beta version of its platform in the first quarter of 2022, and its tokens will launch IDO in Cooper on December 17.
