Background: On New Year’s Day, the studio has just carried its year-end plans into 2022. The team has a runnable Final Form prototype, a Tyson NFT project in preparation, and fresh funding; the immediate question is whether a cooling market should alter its opening plans.
Today: BTC moves sideways around USD 46,000, already 30% below its peak two months earlier. The studio has USD 8.5 million in newly raised funds, a working Final Form prototype, and the Tyson NFT still in preparation. With those pieces in place, the team proceeds as planned; no one thinks this will be the first year of a crypto winter.
Impact and next: Cash on hand and a runnable prototype give the team room to keep moving, while the market’s decline is already visible and its optimism has not faced a longer test. Hiring and production will turn the plan into daily work. At this point, no one expects the winter to arrive.
