The game has more than 240,000 registered users and continues to maintain a strong, active user base. During the testnet, the game had over 1.1 million on-chain trades. Craft World aims to expand its user base and build a network of games.VOYA Games looks ready to expand its operations and focus on creating an ecosystem rather than just a single game. At first glance, this approach may appear counterintuitive. However, it perfectly reflects a <a href="https://funjible.games/news/funjible-games-report-2025-crypto-gaming-trends">rising trend</a> in the world of crypto gaming. Take, for instance, Pixels, which has recently woven its <a href="https://funjible.games/news/new-partnership-brings-pixels-token-to-forgotten-runiverse">token into the fabric of Forgotten Runiverse </a>through a fruitful partnership. This emerging trend is clearly shaping the future of crypto gaming.Crafting a game has become a launchpad for numerous projects eager to build their own ecosystems. This trend was also seen when <a href="https://www.funjible.games/news/citizen-conflict-returning-with-toy-wallet-integration">Citizen Conflict waltzed back with TOY Wallet integration</a>. Developers are keen on these innovations to offer players unparalleled flexibility. By building a vibrant ecosystem, they can stop players from leaving. They offer a wealth of options with their current NFTs and in-game currencies.Getting funding is also important because it gives developers more time to realise their ideas. Recently, a few blockchain games faced their demise after struggling to secure fresh capital. Nyan Heroes bid adieu following a $13 million funding chase.<img src="https://assets.funjible.games/VOYA_Team_db3ef02c50.jpg" alt="VOYA-Team.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_VOYA_Team_db3ef02c50.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_VOYA_Team_db3ef02c50.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_VOYA_Team_db3ef02c50.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"><h2>About VOYA Games</h2>VOYA Games is a Berlin-based game development studio on a quest to transform the gaming universe.
