Look North World develops and publishes games with a focus on user-generated content. The studio currently has 15 original titles in development and has already developed and published five games on Unreal Engine for Fortnite. It launched a creator label to give creators artistic and technical support, a marketing budget, and long-term ownership of intellectual property, and has signed creators including Austin 'TomJank' Rodriguez and Jon 'SightedSloth' Jungemann. Financially, the company raised an additional $2.25 million in seed funding, bringing total capital raised to $4.5 million. The new funding will support development of original titles and research into how games are built using user-generated content. Look North World was established last year by veterans from EA, Bungie, and Kongreate including Alex Seropian, Jay Pecho, Patrick Moran, Kyle Marks, Aaron Marroquin, and Prashant Patil.
