Happy Birthday to us! Today Pixelmatic turns 10 - that’s one decade of game development and operations with our incredible team.

In 2011, our CEO Samson Mow founded Pixelmatic with a small team and a grand vision: to create socially immersive games that were not only a whole lot of fun to play, but that reinvented how we experienced gaming.

We’re proud to look back at ten years of successful game operations and development as well as cutting-edge projects that broke new ground: from the operation of titles like Vainglory, to the full production of the first full-VR Bitcoin conference with over 1,000 participants, we’ve gained so many invaluable experiences in the last decade.

For the last couple of years, we’ve been 100% focused on the development of Infinite Fleet, a revolutionary sci-fi strategy title that brings fresh wind into the MMO space. This year alone, we’ve ticked off several major milestones: the Infinite Fleet security token offering (STO) launched on STOKR, the Infinite Fleet Alpha went live, and we released the epic Counterattack trailer that revealed the ships’ transformation engines.

All our accomplishments have been made possible by the all-star team put together by Samson, which is comprised of AAA game designers and developers and some of the smartest minds in the industry. But it’s also thanks to the support from you — so thank you!

And in case you haven’t seen it yet: Infinite Fleet is hosting a special screenshot contest to celebrate. The best submission wins a full fleet worth $140.

We can’t wait to see where the coming decade takes us. Who knows, maybe we’ll broadcast our 20-year anniversary party to you from Mars.

Today marks the release of a brand-new sci-fi movie: Silhouettes is a feature film created by producers Matt Hartley and Shiv Rajagopal that takes you on a supernatural journey through space.

The movie tells the story of astronaut Katherine Barnes who, during the routine inspection of a space station orbiting Earth, encounters an extraterrestrial being that takes her on a tour of the universe, from its earliest beginnings to its far future.

Silhouettes features renowned voice actors Dick Terhune, who previously worked on Transformers: Cyberverse, and Helen Day from Turok: The First Flight.

In a first for the industry, tickets for the movie are sold as NFTs — that means if you purchase a ticket, you’ll receive a unique token to go with it. The NFTs are issued on the Liquid Network.

Pixelmatic is proud to support Silhouettes with the development of its website.

Enjoy the movie!

Today marks a very special day for Infinite Fleet—we are finally releasing the new trailer Counterattack!

Counterattack brings you the continuation of the Infinite Fleet story, picking up where our first trailer Dearest Mila left off. If you haven’t watched the first trailer yet, we recommend that you do that first and then jump right into the new trailer.

The new trailer awaits you with epic space combat and the reveal of a major gameplay mechanic that will have a crucial effect on your gaming experience. We can’t wait for you to see it!

In Counterattack, you’ll see some familiar faces again, and they’re brought to life by an all-star cast of voice actors from highly acclaimed game and anime franchises: lead protagonist Alexander Chase is voiced by Jonah Scott, who is known for his work on Attack on Titan; Captain Tanaka receives her voice from Kira Buckland, who previously voiced 2B in Nier: Automata; and Captain Harold ‘Herk’ Campbell is voiced by Brian Drummond, the English voice of Dragon Ball Z’s Vegeta.

You may also recognize some major thought leaders from the Bitcoin space in our trailer — Keiser Report co-host and Bitcoin icon Stacy Herbert, along with investors WhalePanda and Henry "DaWoo" Wu, and BTC Times editor Lina Seiche, are doing a cameo in the trailer as they bring reinforcements to Chase’s fleet.

As we announced last month, the music in Counterattack is brought to you by no other than Vince DiCola, the Grammy- and Golden Globe-nominated composer of the scores for the soundtracks of legendary Hollywood titles such as The Transformers: The Movie and Rocky IV. We couldn’t have wished for anyone better than Vince and his long-term partner Kenny Meridieth to bring the trailer to life with their iconic 80’s sound.

We hope you enjoy the trailer, and for those of you who can’t wait to start playing, you can still apply for access to our Alpha! Simply purchase your preferred spacecraft on the Infinite Fleet store to join the waitlist. Every week, new Alpha access tickets are assigned at random.

With that said, all there is left to do is to dive right into Counterattack and get ready for the next steps in our journey towards the full release of Infinite Fleet.

Infinite Fleet, the revolutionary sci-fi massively multiplayer online (MMO) strategy game developed by Pixelmatic, has completed a funding round totaling $3.1 million through a private security token offering (STO).

Infinite Fleet is an online strategy game in which thousands of players command fleets of customizable spaceships and play cooperatively to fend off an alien threat, leaving their legacy in the game’s lore via its unique directed narrative feature. The game draws inspiration from space real-time strategy (RTS) and MMO classics like Homeworld and EVE Online, while integrating a crypto asset to power its in-game peer-to-peer economy.

Infinite Fleet further leverages blockchain technology for its fundraising. Exordium Limited, the game’s publisher, has launched a security token representing equity and profit sharing rights, making it the first game project in the crypto industry to pursue funding through a regulated security.

The security token, called EXO, is issued on Liquid Securities, a platform for the tokenization of securities built on the Liquid sidechain of Bitcoin. The project planned for a $3 million private sale, and the round was oversubscribed after an allocation on the BnkToTheFuture investment platform sold out within 24 hours.

"Infinite Fleet is the first crypto gaming deal on our platform and it became one of the fastest campaigns on BnkToTheFuture, selling out completely within the first 24 hours of its launch,” said BnkToTheFuture CEO Simon Dixon, “I look forward to seeing gaming accelerate Bitcoin adoption from this Class A team of gamers and Bitcoin OG’s."

This exclusive initial round was led by prominent crypto industry leaders such as Charlie Lee (the creator of Litecoin), Adam Back (inventor of HashCash and CEO of Blockstream), and Max Keiser (host of the Keiser Report and founder of Heisenberg Capital).

“The world is changing rapidly and companies must adapt and innovate. Infinite Fleet will be the first proper video game to truly bring together gaming and crypto assets,” said Pixelmatic CEO and the game's creator Samson Mow. “Infinite Fleet not only aims to revitalize an MMO genre that has been lacking fresh ideas in recent years, but to potentially become the ‘Trojan Horse’ that brings mass adoption of cryptocurrency to mainstream gamers.”

Infinite Fleet’s development team is led by veteran AAA game developers that have worked on franchises such as Age of Empires, Homeworld, Company of Heroes, and Dawn of War - top rated RTS games that have grossed over $1.2 billion globally. The game’s closed alpha is expected to be released towards the end of 2020.

Unlike traditional video game projects that have sought out capital via crowdfunding campaigns awarding backers with in-game perks or memorabilia, Infinite Fleet plans to launch a public STO that will allow institutional and retail investors alike to share future profits from the game.
