nWay is a developer and publisher of free-to-play mobile multiplayer games. We were founded in 2011 by gaming and startup veterans, who want to bring fun console-quality multiplayer games to the mobile platforms.
Gala Games was founded with one goal in mind: to give power back to the gamers. Our mission is to enable freedom through play. To this end, we have embarked on one of the most ambitious development projects to date - the creation of the Gala Games Ecosystem. Founded by Eric Schiermeyer (the co-founder of Zynga and gaming legend), Wright Thurston (one of the first major miners in the cryptocurrency space and holder of multiple patents on blockchain technology), and Michael McCarthy (the Creative Director behind viral gaming hits such as Farmville 2), Gala Games is here to fundamentally redefine both the gaming and blockchain spaces. The first game released by Gala Games, Town Star, is a deceptively simple looking but incredibly deep farming simulation in which user builds a farm to compete in weekly competitions. At various places, NFTs can be used in the game to provide bonuses but are not required to play, have fun, or compete. Mirandus, the MMORPG/Adventure Simulator currently under development by Gala Games is working to completely redefine both the game development pipeline, as well as the gameplay model by putting the power in the hands of the players and giving them ultimate control over the in-game economy.
PlayFab’s mission is to power the future of live games by providing developers and publishers with the best liveops platform in the industry. Game developers shouldn’t need to worry whether their servers can scale, or which of the ten SDKs they’re trying to use broke the build. With PlayFab, they don’t have to. We tell game developers, “you bring the fun, we’ll do the rest.” PlayFab recently received Series A funding from Benchmark and Madrona Venture Group, so we’re about to enter a period of rapid expansion in both our team and our ambitions. New hires should expect to hit the ground running and make significant contributions from day one. We’re not the kind of start-up with a kegerator; we’re the kind where everyone is super productive and then goes home on time.
