ANIMO Industries, Inc.

What ANIMO Industries, Inc. does

ANIMO Industries, Inc. is a privately held, Miami-based (Coral Gables, FL) game development company founded in 2022 by veteran developers, artists, and designers. The firm operates a single core product, ANIMO Stars Arena — a competitive multiplayer mech battle game in which players assemble customized mechs from interchangeable parts (Pilots, Weapons, engines) and compete across four distinct modes: Team Rumble (6v6), Protect & Retrieve (capture-the-flag variant), Rogue Royale (free-for-all with three lives), and Ranked Rumble (bronze-to-champion competitive ladder). A Mech Builder feature for deeper customization is announced as coming soon.

The company's technical foundation combines a multiplayer gaming platform with blockchain-based digital item ownership. In-game goods are tokenized as NFTs across four chains — Ethereum, Avalanche, Moonbase, and Polygon — and the firm maintains an ANIMO NFT Collection on Ethereum. Distribution spans the major digital storefronts (Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch) alongside a direct Web Store at animo.art, with Xsolla serving as global distributor for keys, in-game items, and non-convertible virtual currency.

ANIMO's revenue model layers four streams — virtual currency sales, recurring subscriptions, in-app purchases, and digital goods sales — applied across Application, Web Store, and third-party platforms. Customer acquisition is community-led via Discord (whitelist events, support) and Twitter/X, with a multi-channel marketing footprint that includes press relations. The company is founder-led (CEO Dave Miller, Tech Director Osman Tsjardiwal, Creative/Game Director Eduardo Cabrera), bootstrapped with 1–10 employees, and discloses no institutional funding or revenue figures.
