W4 Games is a gametech company building products and services for Godot Engine game developers.
W4 Games was created by Godot Engine veterans Juan Linietsky, Rémi Verschelde and Fabio Alessandrelli, and veteran entrepreneur Nicola Farronato on a mission to strengthen the open source Godot ecosystem by providing companies with the commercial products and services they need.
W4 Games has raised $15M as seed round led by OSS Capital (a leading investment fund in Open Source Software) and Lux Capital (a Silicon Valley giant) and also included investments from Bob Young, the founder of Red Hat, and Sisu Game Ventures, an early-stage venture capital fund focused on games. Moreover VIP entrepreneurs like Naval Ravikant (founder of AngelList), Larry Augustin (former CEO of SugarCRM), Justin Hoffmann, among others, joined the funding.
The company has continued to grow and today has team members located in 20 countries around the world.
We want to help the video game industry reclaim their control on the technology powering their games, and reverse a dramatic trend where they have to rely on proprietary solutions from an ever-shrinking number of vendors.
Our aim is to make Open Sourcethe industry’s first choice by ensuring that both enterprise and independent developers can use the community-developed Godot platform with peace of mind.
This will be achieved by W4 providing commercial products and services offering such as enterprise support plans and the possibility to access markets that were previously unreached by Godot, such as console platforms.
