The TGFI program is a prototype fund that provides funding of up to USD$10,000 to help indie developers and studios within Southeast Asia turn their game ideas into a playable MVP prototype or a vertical slice with no-strings-attached, developers retain ownership of their IPs and do not have to pay back the funds.

The program is intended to give Southeast Asian game developers a safety net to experiment and validate their ideas which otherwise would be too costly and risky to do so.
