VentureBeat has word (http://venturebeat.com/2009/02/16/dutch-virtual-world-start-up-raises-4-million/) Virtual Fairground has managed to raise $4 million and ink a licensing deal to publish a game based on the popular animated television show Galactik Football (http://www.alphanim.com/GALACTIK_FOOTBALL.265.0.html).
Amsterdam-based Virtual Fairground raised the money from an undisclosed angel investor. It will create a Flash-based virtual world and massively multiplayer online game based on Alphanim’s (http://www.alphanim.com/) Galactik Football animated TV series. Virtual Fairground will develop and publish the game and virtual world.
The first phase of the virtual world will be available to consumers in North America and Europe in April. A full launch will happen in 2010, the year of the next FIFA World Cup. Glactik Football is produced by French animation studio Alphanim, a subsidiary of Gaumont Group. The cartoon-animated story follows the progress of Snow Kids, a futuristic soccer team from the planet Akillian as they try to win the Galactik Football Cup. The show is being aired in 100 countries.
