Lila Games is Building Project B.L.A.C.K
Game creator Lila Games plans to use the funds to grow its team and develop its first game “Project B.L.A.C.K.” The team describes Project B.L.A.C.K as “the most ambitious mobile F2P shooter game ever designed.”
“Lila Games aspires to build a different kind of organization with a culture that enables learning,” said the game dev’s CEO Joseph Kim.
Kim wants his team to focus on both improving their organization as well as their products. They also want to give equal opportunities. Plus, the CEO believes that India will be a global leader in gaming. To recall, the country has already established itself as a potential hub for game streaming through Loco. It’s the platform that presented itself as the “Twitch for India.”
The game developer focuses on developing F2P (free-to-play) mobile games. The company has previously raised $2.8 million in its seed funding round. Back then, their primary investor was Bitkraft Ventures, which also returns to invest in Lila Games’ recent Series A funding round.
