SCRYsoft Game Development Co-Investment Fund
The video game industry has rapidly grown over the past few years specifically in the indie games popularity. Talents have long been recognized for their supporting roles in the creation of multiple blockbuster titles with some developers and studios moving on independently to create some of the most successful indie games of the past few years.
Unfortunately, we see excellent ideas and valuable talents go to waste because of the roadblock of resources like time and money. The SCRYsoft Game Development Co-Investment Fund mission is aimed at supporting indie game developers in converting their ideas and concepts for games into reality.
We want to share a slice of $1,000,000USD amongst a pool of talented indie game developers along with professional support to help motivate and grow the indie gaming.
How Can We Help
