Voya Games has secured new funding to expand its Web3 ambitions, kicking off with Craft World, a casual strategy game that blends resource management with blockchain asset ownership. The recent $5 million raise is set to fuel both the development of the current title and the foundation of a broader, interconnected ecosystem where players can carry assets and progress between games.
Craft World, still in an early access phase, has already built up a sizable player base and showcases how casual gameplay can intersect with decentralized mechanics without losing accessibility. At the core is a blend of crafting, automation, and asset trading set in a world rebuilt by humans and dinosaurs after a global collapse.
Gameplay centered on resource loops and automation
The gameplay revolves around rebuilding a broken world by collecting materials, managing production lines, and optimizing resource flows. Players guide small communities as they expand territory, automate repetitive tasks, and collaborate with dinosaur companions to scale up their infrastructure.
What gives the game a different layer is its on-chain asset system. Many of the in-game items are tokenized, meaning players can mint, trade, and retain ownership of their digital goods. This model adds a strategic angle to decision-making, as item utility and market value can shift over time.
A token-based system across multiple games
With this funding, Voya plans to expand beyond Craft World by creating a suite of games that share a unified economy. Rather than starting from scratch in each title, players will be able to move assets between games, creating long-term value and continuity. The backbone of this system is a shared token that underpins in-game currencies and trade.
This design choice taps into a growing trend in Web3 game development — ecosystems that reward consistent engagement across multiple experiences. It also suggests a shift from isolated titles toward more persistent player networks, where progress can extend beyond a single game’s lifespan.
Web3 design without losing casual appeal
What stands out is the studio’s approach to onboarding. The Web3 layer sits beneath a familiar casual-game interface, allowing players to learn about digital ownership without needing prior blockchain experience. The on-chain elements are present but not overwhelming, striking a balance that’s often missing in similar projects.
If Craft World’s early momentum continues, the model could offer a blueprint for other developers looking to blend casual formats with deeper economic systems. It avoids the typical pitfalls of speculative token economies by grounding gameplay in long-term engagement and asset utility.
