Portalarium

Portalarium is revolutionizing role-playing games for social media. Formed in September of 2009 in Austin, Texas, Portalarium is developing and publishing premium online games and virtual worlds for personal computers, consoles, social networks and mobile platforms. Portalarium games maximize the fun and social play experience between friends, making it is easy to find each other and play together regardless of where you are or what you are playing. Target deployment is across all popular social networks (Facebook, MySpace, etc.), mobile platforms (iPhone, Android), browser types (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, others), and PC hardware platforms (PC, Macintosh). The company was founded by Hall-of-Fame game designer, Richard Garriott, together with his longtime game industry partners, Dallas Snell and Fred Schmidt, all of whom previously worked together at ORIGIN / Electronic Arts ('80s, 90s) and then Destination Games / NCsoft North America ('00s). Portalarium is funded by London-based m8 Capital, Founders Fund of San Francisco, and a group of notable angel investors.
