Animating to the Metaverse
summary
An established 2012 animated IP gets rebuilt inside Roblox as a hub street plus a playable Fungi Farm mini-game made with All Huts where players pick good fungi, avoid rotten ones and earn Funi currency that will later buy hats; soft launch aims for end of year. Target audience is roughly 8–12, funding comes from Finnish and Spanish creative grants, and the team accepts Roblox’s ~50–60% revenue cut in exchange for instant scale and infrastructure. Main challenges are converting 2D scale to 3D, narrowing scope and filling technical roles.
