AUSTIN, Texas, January 17, 2017 — Independent game developer ArtCraft Entertainment, Inc., makers of the highly anticipated Crowfall ® massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, announced today the company has successfully completed its Title III, Regulation CF crowdfunding campaign with Indiegogo.com and Microventures.com, raising a total of approximately $670,000 from more than 1200 investors. "This offering is different from traditional crowdfunding, where backers only receive perks, or invest in a royalty stream that caps at some amount,” stated Gordon Walton, President and executive producer at ArtCraft Entertainment. "We allowed investors to participate in the future of our company as preferred shareholders. They are part-owners in ArtCraft.” Crowfall is a dynamic, Massively Multiplayer Online game where thousands of players take the roles of kings, queens, mercenaries and assassins all vying for control of a virtual throne. Described as a “Throne War Simulator,” Crowfall differs from standard MMOs in that each server represents a single “campaign world" with a unique map, unique rules, and a limited lifespan. A campaign will last only a few months before one guild or alliance conquers the map – at which point the characters collect the spoils of war and move on to the next campaign. "This opens up another avenue of non-traditional game funding," explained J. Todd Coleman, ArtCraft Entertainment CEO and chief creative officer. "It was perfect for Crowfall, because we’re still gaining momentum, in terms of both funding and players, as we head into launch later this year.” ArtCraft was one of only four companies selected for the launch of Indiegogo and MicroVenture’s new Equity Crowdfunding service. ArtCraft’s raise places it in the top 10 most successful Title III equity crowdfunding campaigns historically, and is the first (and therefore the largest) Title III crowdfunding raise done for a video game studio. In all, the company has raised approximately $11 million of total funding via crowdfunding, multiple rounds of private financing, and a licensing agreement with Travian Games GmbH to localize and operate the game throughout Europe.
