Random Games is creating the Unioverse, a community-owned franchise that flips the relationship between developer, gamer and fan by publishing AAA-quality assets royalty-free. The Unioverse will launch with a series of videogames while allowing anyone to download and reuse characters, artwork, models, music and more to make games, comics, films and merchandise. The studio plans to incorporate NFTs: players buy NFT character avatars to access and play Unioverse games, with avatars interoperable across titles and tradeable. Random Games was co-founded by industry veterans Tony Harman and Wyeth Ridgway and has added executives and creatives including Paul Walborsky and writer Brent Friedman. The company raised $7.6 million in a seed round and will use the funds to expand its team, begin work on initial Unioverse games, and develop the AAA-quality assets to be shared with the community. It also intends to funnel avatar-sale revenues into a Game Developer Fund to finance third-party titles and further grow the Unioverse.

Founded in 2014, Mero Mole developed Hero Guest, a configurable training platform for restaurants with modules for training, supervision, HR, marketing, gamified content, customer surveys and per-store scoring. The app teaches tasks from table setting and customer service to dish preparation and uses evaluations to track employee performance. Development of Hero Guest involved a 3 million-peso investment; 15 national brands are already using the product and pilot tests showed trainer scores rising from 87 to 97 after one week. Mero Mole projects the app can boost sales by 5–10% for users, reduce training time and costs, and improve decision-making through store-level metrics. The company says well-trained staff can materially increase sales and plans to continue evolving the consumer experience through technology, reinforced by a strategic partnership with investment fund ID345 II.
