Yarnhub Animation Studios, known for its military history YouTube channels, is stepping into the gaming world with a community-driven investment round. The studio, founded by David Webb, has a large audience of 35 million views per month across major markets. The company plans to create games where each animated film on YouTube will contribute to the game, with the help of gaming executive Cyril Barrow.

Yarnhub will use Unreal Engine 5 for game development, similar to its film production. The company will allocate most of the investment round proceeds to game development, unlike traditional studios that spend significantly on marketing. Yarnhub's massive built-in audience will help with game discovery and retention.

The studio's innovative approach to game development involves building a fanbase first and then creating a game using the same technology as its films. Yarnhub's investment strategy focuses on community involvement, ensuring players are part of the journey from the start.

The funding will help expand the team with key gaming talent and develop the company's first game, integrated with Yarnhub's existing universe. This move positions Yarnhub as a pioneer in blending animation and interactive entertainment, offering its community a unique opportunity to be part of its evolution.
