Missed the GamesBeat Summit excitement? Don't worry! Tune in now to catch all of the live and virtual sessions here.
Eyeball Games has raised $1.5 million in pre-seed funding to develop its upcoming mobile game, Eyeball Pool.
Singapore-based Eyeball Games said the funding round was led by White Star Capital, which invested from its Ubisoft-backed Digital Asset Fund, and included participation from Polygon Ventures, Immutable, Ocular, Great South Gate Ventures, and prominent angel investors.
Eyeball Pool is a modernized pool game experience that incorporates Web3 elements to enhance the user experience, including full ownership of assets. The game is being developed by the creators of 8 Ball Pool, the world’s most popular pool game for mobile devices with over one billion downloads.
Eyeball Games plans to release Eyeball Pool in phases, starting with a closed beta test on the web exclusively for holders of the game’s non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The full launch of the game on mobile is planned for the first quarter of 2024, after which the NFTs will convert into game starter packs with exclusive and unique items for the game.
The game will first launch on Polygon x Immutable zkEVM chain, a platform built specifically for games, where it will be one of the first featured projects. Eyeball Pool successfully completed a 30-minute sellout mint of 4,001 genesis NFTs called Balldroids in January 2023, but those who missed out will have another shot. A white list for the Eyeball Pool expanded NFT series will open soon.
“We are delighted to gain the backing of prestigious investors for our first round of funding. We look forward to tapping into their knowledge and support to build a world-class game that gives players true ownership
