Blaseball, the fictional fantasy sports game, exploded in popularity last year. Since then, developers The Game Band have continued to run the game, tweaking rules and tailoring its story in response to fans participating by playing but also writing fan fiction and creating fan art.
Now they've announced that they've secured funding to continue developing the game, to grow their team, and to make future projects without fear of going under.
In a post on Medium, founder Sam Rosenthal wrote that the funding came from the Makers Fund, 1Up Ventures and Matthew Ball. No figure is mentioned in the post, though TechCrunch report that it's $3 million in investment.
