Opti Games, the studio behind Sparkball, announced that a crucial investment deal has fallen through, negatively impacting their development plans.
Investment Deal Invalidated
Recently, Opti Games confirmed that a key investment deal they were relying on for development through 2026 was unexpectedly withdrawn. This left the team without the necessary funds for full project development.
Development and Community Plans
Following the deal's collapse, the team has decided to downsize and launch a stripped-down 'Phase 1' demo aimed at showcasing Sparkball’s long-term potential. Despite these challenges, the team confirmed they would not conduct direct fundraising from the community and deem launching a token unethical without secure long-term funding in place.
Continuing Project Work
Despite the challenging conditions, the Sparkball team plans to hold a Rewards Consolidation and Sweepstakes to connect previous incentives such as NFTs and early access. The Phase 1 relaunch is expected in about six weeks, although no exact date has been announced.
The Sparkball project continues to develop even amid market instability, facing challenges from the collapse of its investment deal and funding complexities.
