Random Games

Random Games, Inc. is a Boulder, Colorado videogame development and publishing studio building the Unioverse, a science-fiction franchise intended to span videogames, comic books, novels and other media. The core concept is a "community-owned franchise": the AAA-quality characters, artwork, 3D models, music and other assets created for the company's own games are made downloadable royalty-free, so that outside developers, creators and fans can build their own games, comics, films and merchandise from them and keep the revenue from what they sell.

The company positions the Unioverse as an NFT-gated ecosystem in which players purchase an NFT character avatar that grants access to Unioverse games; the avatars are transferable and intended to be interoperable across titles in the franchise. Random Games states that it plans to direct revenues from character avatar sales into a Game Developer Fund financing third-party titles and into further asset and lore creation. Alongside its own development, the company runs a publishing arm, describing relationships with dozens of game development studios worldwide and inviting studios with strong portfolios to inquire about first-party development opportunities. Its website also references UNIO Coin as a token intended to support creation and ownership within the ecosystem.
