We have been working with Matt for half a decade now on his title, which is the highest rated title in tinyBuild's portfolio, based on Steam users.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Streets of Rogue\n \n is a rogue-lite about player choice, freedom, and anarchic fun. The game is set in a functioning, procedurally generated city, where complex AI informs denizens from all walks of life, who are just trying to get by in their daily activities. In order to progress, the player will need to accomplish specific mission goals in any way they see fit through use of their special character traits, items, and the environment.\n \n \n \n The consideration will include both upfront and deferred payments over the following three calendar years, up to $6.5m, split approximately fifty-fifty between cash and newly issued tinyBuild shares, subject to certain operational targets being met. As part of the consideration, the Company will issue 166,204 New Common Shares of $0.001 each in the Company (\"New Common Shares\") at a price of 254p per New Common Share, and such shares will be subject to a 12 month lock up period. The deal will be slightly accretive in 2021.\n \n \n \n \n \n It is core to tinyBuild's strategy to elevate core franchises from third party, to first and second party. By bringing DogHelm in-house, we are gearing up for the highly anticipated sequel to Streets of Rogue. This is a really exciting development which we will update on in the near future. \n \n \n \n \n...
