PLAY Interactive has set up the PLAY Game Development Co-Investment Fund, a fund that aims to help Malaysian game developers get their games financial support.
According to PLAY Interactive, the company has put aside a total of RM 1 million to help build up the local games industry, with applicants being eligible to receive up to RM 100,000 to see their games realized within 2 years of receiving the grant.
Potential applicants can sign up by sending an email to [email protected], with their company name and “PDCGF Application” in the title of the email.
Naturally, the fund comes with a catch. Aside from publishing the game within 2 years of accepting the money, PLAY Interactive looks to hold worldwide publishing rights to your title. It’s particularly good for indie developers who don’t want to worry about finding a publisher, since PLAY Interactive will handle that side of the development process while applicants can focus on making their games.
