Indian startup Lila Games has closed the seed round of investment. The developers have raised $2.8 million, which will be used to create “the most ambitious mobile shooter.”
The round was led by the Bitkraft Ventures venture fund. Together with him, Galaxy Interactive and several philanthropic investors invested in the Indian studio. Among the “business angels” were Machine Zone co-founder Mike Sherrill, Super Evil Megacorp CEO Krisitan Segerstrale and CMUNE CEO Ludovic Bodin.
The money Lila Games is going to spend on hiring new employees and developing a mobile shooter Project Black.
We will try to make a very ambitious shooter that will not be like any other. If you take a close look at the mobile gaming market, today 80% of battle shooters have completed either team battles to the death.

The head of the startup also noted that he wants to introduce an original monetization model into Project Black. In his opinion, most shooters receive money from players through combat passes. Whereas Lila Games wants to monetize the title in “many other ways.”
In addition, the developers plan to add more social interaction inside their shooter.
Project Black Structure
By the way, earlier the founders of Lila Games worked mainly on 4X strategies.
For example, Kim has the experience of developing King of Avalon. Another founder — Paul Leydon (Paul Leydon) was engaged in the creation of Game of War: Fire Age.
