SCRYsoft, the publishing arm of Play Interactive has announced a game development fund, aimed at helping indie games get off the ground.
The fund totals 1 million USD, and aims to support games that are currently more than 50% of the way through development.
Submissions can be done via the SCRYsoft Game Development Fund website, with submissions open until November 30th.
“This fund is set up to present a unique opportunity to creators all over the world with unique ideas who lack the resources to achieve their game development dream with the right support”, says Ian Heng, Lead Publisher at SCRYsoft.
The SCRYsoft Game Development Fund will be giving out grants between 100,000 USD to 300,000 USD to up to 10 developers.
Currently, the fund only covers PC and Console titles, and applicants will have to present a timeline showing that their projects will be completed in one to two years to be eligible for the fund.
