Menlo Ventures has announced its investment in Barnyard Games, a new gaming company founded by JB_BGI, MisterArmstrong, Mark Cieslar, and Chris Sturr. The team, veterans of AAA gaming, is leveraging Epic Games' UEFN to create games within Fortnite, capitalizing on the trend of user-generated content.
