Goose Goose Duck developer Gaggle Studios has closed a seed round of $2 million from early-stage VC firm Makers Fund.
The funding will go towards enhancing the speed and quality of Gaggle s development pipeline as well as expand the team, the studio said in its announcement.
Goose Goose Duck, a multiplayer survival game that looks to be heavily inspired by Among Us, will be launching in Early Access today, the studio added. Gaggle was founded in April last year to fill a gap in the video game marketplace where they saw a lack of frictionless, integrated voice and video-chat gaming.
The announcement further read: In a time where getting together was nearly impossible, it seemed only natural to refocus and bring real-life experiences safely into people s homes.
