Pixowl launched The Sandbox Game in 2012 as a 2D pixel art game built to empower creators to share their content, which evolved over time with over 40 million downloads. By mid 2018, the Pixowl team announced its acquisition by Animoca Brands to launch a 3D version of The Sandbox, with a goal to become the new standard in world building games to empower global artists, storytellers, and game designers of all skill levels to create, publish, own, and monetise a myriad of unique content through the power of blockchain technology.
"You can’t have digital freedom unless you have digital property rights. The foundation of this is ownership.”
