London Venture Partners invests in developer Klang Games, vets of Eve Online

A few veterans from Icelandic developer CCP Games have nailed down an investment agreement that will enable it to push through with the production of its first game.

Developer Klang Games has signed a deal that will have venture-capital firm London Venture Partners injecting cash into the company’s current future projects. Klang is in the process of developing a platformer game called ReRunners for smartphones and tablets that has players competing with one another asynchronously online. While mobile gaming has grown into a $30 billion business, it is typically tough for game studios to find venture funding. But London Venture Partners is one of the few that specializes in this marketplace, and it will bring a history of working in the gaming sector to its deal with Klang.
