Online VR MMO Dual Universe raises $7.4 million

Independent game developer Novaquark has announced that they had received $3.7 million in funding from private investors to bring their flagship MMO title, Dual Universe, to a total funding amount of $7.4 million, including crowdfunding. This news comes as the company is preparing to launch their Alpha version; currently expected by the end of Q4 2017.

Online VR MMO Dual Universe raises $7.4 million

Dual Universe is a new type of massively-multiplayer online experience: it takes place in a vast Sci-Fi universe, focusing on emergent gameplay and content building, with player-driven in-game economy, politics, trade and warfare. The vision for Dual Universe is to create the first virtual online civilization.

The Kickstarter trailer for Dual Universe:

At the heart of Dual Universe is a truly innovative proprietary technology, which was developed to lay the foundations of the game. The CSSC (continuous single-shard cluster) manages one single universe with potentially millions of people interacting in it at the same time. A multi-scale voxel engine enables players to physically modify the world; dig a hole, carve up a mountain or build anything they want, from space ships to orbital stations, at any scale they desire.

Here's what JC Baillie, CEO at Novaquark says:
 

"Last year, Dual Universe became the third highest funded video game on Kickstarter, collecting more than $670K from over 8,000 backers. With this new round of funding, we have reached a new level of support that will help the project reach its full potential”.

 
Novaquark is building a virtual world environment where they hope millions of people will be able to live exciting collective adventures within a vibrant and emergent universe where everything is possible. The company aims at creating a new form of entertainment, where participants are free to create their own stories and environment.
 

“Our ambition is to become the number one platform for user-generated entertainment, all happening in the same universe, to create an ecosystemic amplification mechanism similar to that of social networks”

    this game is a joke. to ask if the money collected really serves to develop it!!!! As long as a project remains in the state of alpha / ealry access, it remains a joke for me. I’m still waiting to see when the game comes out in 1.0 to make my opinion. To recall that only one game early access on four ended up out, and that since 2013, no early mmo access has yet released.
