1 min read
Summary
Yarnhub, an animation company that produces military history videos, is expanding into gaming and raising funds from its community through the Picmii crowdfunding platform.
Founded by David Webb, the company has built a large following in the U.S., Japan, and major European countries with videos that tell stories about World War II heroes.
Recognizing the demand from its loyal community, Yarnhub is embarking on an ambitious journey into gaming, where each new animated film on YouTube contributes directly to the game.
The transition into gaming is being overseen by gaming executive Cyril Barrow, who has experience at Electronic Arts and Rovio.
Yarnhub will leverage Unreal Engine 5, the same technology it uses to produce its high-quality animated films, to create its new gaming experience.
The company is not planning to do modern conflicts and will focus on wars of the 20th century.
