Lucid Sight is a Los Angeles-based technology company founded in 2015 that develops multiplayer gaming solutions, including an open-source multiplayer engine and cloud services like Colyseus Arena, enabling game creators to build multiplayer experiences across platforms such as iOS, Android, VR, consoles, and PC without deep networking expertise.[1][2][3][4] It serves game developers and studios by simplifying multiplayer integration, often incorporating blockchain, AR, and VR technologies, with notable titles like MLB Champions (a crypto NFT baseball game), CSC x Star Trek, and Justice League for PSVR; the company reports $5.4 million in revenue and has built over two dozen games and experiences.[1][2][5][6] Key growth includes the 2021 acquisition of Colyseus, an open-source JavaScript multiplayer engine, which expanded its tech stack to "democratize" multiplayer development and boost momentum in blockchain gaming.[1][4][5]
Lucid Sight was co-founded in 2015 by serial entrepreneurs Randy Saaf (CEO), Octavio Herrera (COO), and Fazri Zubair (CTO) in Los Angeles, California, with a mission to innovate in the evolving gaming landscape using cutting-edge multiplayer tech.[1][2][4][5][6] Saaf and Herrera previously co-founded Jirbo, which produced 14 of the first 100 free iOS games and evolved into the ad network AdColony, giving them deep mobile gaming expertise; they also serve on the board of AppOnboard (Buildbox no-code game engine).[2] The idea emerged from exploring multiplayer across platforms, leading to early traction with major IPs like MLB (launching MLB Crypto Baseball beta in 2018) and partnerships such as CBS for Star Trek in CSC; a pivotal moment was the 2021 Colyseus acquisition, enhancing their open-source offerings.[1][2][4][5]
Lucid Sight rides the multiplayer and Web3 gaming boom, where blockchain NFTs, play-to-earn models, and cross-platform VR/AR demand seamless networking—trends accelerated by mobile esports and metaverse hype.[1][3][5] Timing aligns with post-2021 crypto gaming surge (e.g., MLB Crypto launch) and open-source shifts, as developers seek affordable alternatives to proprietary engines like Photon or Unity's netcode amid rising live-ops needs.[3] Market forces like cloud scalability and no-code tools favor them, positioning Lucid Sight to influence indie ecosystems by lowering barriers—similar to competitors Heroic Labs (Nakama) or Edgegap—while blockchain ties tap crypto collectibles growth.[3][4]
Lucid Sight's focus on accessible multiplayer tools and blockchain positions it for expansion in metaverse and AI-driven gaming, potentially through more IP partnerships or Colyseus enhancements for real-time social features. Trends like decentralized economies and VR hardware adoption (e.g., Apple Vision Pro era) will shape its path, evolving its influence from niche innovator to key enabler for Web3 studios. As multiplayer "democratization" scales, expect revenue growth beyond $5.4M via cloud subscriptions, tying back to its core: empowering creators to build immersive worlds without engineering hurdles.[1][3][4]
Lucid Sight has raised $13.1M across 4 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $2.6M Other Equity in October 2021.
