Virtual world creator Six Degrees Games has taken $7 million to develop a world for six to 14 year old children with a sports theme. The funding is the company’s first.
Six Degrees hasn’t given many specific details on the game, called Action AllStars, but the company’s executive roster includes two people from Jamdat Mobile, which Electronic Arts acquired in 2006. Jamdat was well known for simple, but engaging games for mobile phones.
Clearstone Venture Partners and Prism VentureWorks led the round. The company is based in Marina del Rey, California.
