San Francisco-based Webcarzz Inc., a developer and publisher of online games, announced today that it has raised $4 million in Series A funding in a round led by Meakem Becker Venture Capital.

            The company is working with MCS Games, creator of casual games such as “Thwart Poker” and “Stomping Grounds,” to develop a casual multiplayer online game.

            “Together with MCS Games, we are creating a very unique and highly engaging online destination aimed at a very specific and underserved market segment,” said Webcarzz CEO Chris Bergstresser in a statement.

            To reach out to this “underserved market segment,” the casual multiplayer online game the company is developing will “not require fixed play patterns, or skill levels, for success.”

            Additionally, ngmoco, the iPhone game developer I covered earlier, has disclosed that they secured roughly $5.6 million in Series A funding a few weeks ago in a round led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
