Irreverent Labs has raised over 40 million dollars to create a robot cock fighting game.
The Seattle-based game company recently unveiled its first game, which was created by Rahul Sood. The roosters are similar to cock fighting, but Sood thinks of them as hilarious figures in a combat sport.
The funding was disclosed in a filing. No other information was provided. We will have more coming on this later.
IFightClub's chickens are mechabots with NFTs, which use the blockchain to verify the uniqueness of each chicken. The title is a play-to-earn game where players can own the characters that they buy and profit from them if they can resell them to someone else.
The game is set in a future dominated by aliens. When a global resistance hacks the 41,000 remaining chicken-shaped mechabots, these weapons of war are redistributed to the public as weapons of mass entertainment.
In 2065, extraterrestrials make their first contact with Earthy. They decided that humanity was worthy of joining the other races of the universe. The aliens realized they were overestimating humanity. They left Earth. They left behind some technology for the humans to use.
It is similar to Free Guy, where they are artificially intelligent non-player characters.
Sood thinks of the club as a kind of South Park with a dash of Gundam Wing.
In a futuristic, mixed martial arts-inspired experience, players will collect, train and battle combat robots. Each mechabot develops unique fighting styles, abilities, and preferences over the course of its life, using machine learning to give each NFT a realistic personality on and off the battlefield, Sood said.
Artificial intelligent entertainment being created is very interesting to me. No one else has done this yet. We are going to be the first to do it.
It is a bit of a strange idea. The company has 20 people, including a small design team in Seattle. $5 million was raised by Irreverent Labs.
We call ourselves Irreverent Labs because we don't want people to take us seriously. People should have a sense of humor.
Sood said that the combination of advanced artificial intelligence, spectator options and kaiju-inspired 3D art will make the club the largest fight club in the metaverse.
It is an interesting switch for Sood, the creator of Microsoft Ventures, founder of Voodoo PC and Unikrn.
The core of the game is a collectibles game. The main way you interact with the game economy is collection and customization of a fighter.
Every collectible in MFC is unique. Each mechabot has an individual artificial intelligence that houses millions of personal experiences unique to that mechabot, and the mechabot has learned from every one of those unique experiences. They have their own genetic code.
No two versions of the same token are the same according to the NFT. These can be used to identify the characters. That's important because the mechabots will be so intelligent and genetically rich that they will be like breathing creatures.
Players can trust that the company is creating what it says it is, and that they can take individual ownership of their mechabot and use it as they please, Sood said.
Irreverent Labs is working with the Solana blockchain, which is popular with games and processes transactions faster.
David is the co-founder of the company. The field of agent simulation has some expertise in the field of artificial intelligence. That is the basis for the brains of the chicken-like creatures. The game is being built. The game has breeding, arena fighting, and leveling up mechanics.
