A big congratulations to Fred Richardson, Joe Stevens, and the Red Rover Interactive team on their $15M Series A raise. TIRTA Ventures is thrilled to support Red Rover's reinvention of the multiplayer survival genre. The survival game market has expanded dramatically in the past decade, yet there are very few team capable of building a compelling PvP experience in the genre. From diving into the evolution of survival games with Fred in Oslo to playtesting the game repeated over the past year, we've been impressed with both the team's depth of knowledge and their quality of execution. In only a year's time, the Red Rover team has already made impressive progress on their first title (it's playable and fun!), a highly emergent and compelling team-based PvP sandbox survival game that challenges current conventions. Highly recommend any fans of survival games or team-based PvP games to join the team's next playtest on Discord: https://lnkd.in/ey2HXHib #gamedev, #gaming, #venturecapital, #hiring, #survivalgames https://lnkd.in/dnr3SEns
