Earlier this year, Denmu launched its debut fund with a $50 million target. The firm has now closed the oversubscribed fund, surpassing its initial goal.<\/p>\n
“We started Denmu to back games with a clear creative identity and to build lasting relationships with the people making them,” said CEO Ryan You. “Closing above our target gives us more capacity to do just that.”<\/p>\n
“Each game developer needs a different combination of funding, production support, and access to players. Our job is to understand those unique individual needs and build a partnership that works for both the game and the studio over time.”<\/p>\n
When GamesIndustry.biz<\/em> spoke to You and creative director Michael Fan back in June, Denmu had invested in projects including The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, Bleach: Soul Resonance, Labyrinth of the Demon King, MotorSlice, and Silly Polybeast.<\/p>\n Denmu has now disclosed investments in Guildford-based Fuse Games and its debut title, Star Wars: Galactic Racer; Maverick Games’ Clutch, following its partnership with Focus Entertainment;<\/p>\n
