The Australian Games Foundation: Expansion Pack has invested $2.7 million in local indie developers
In March, the Australian state-owned company Screen Australia opened the Games: Expansion Pack fund to support independent game studios. Yesterday she announced her first investment. Immediately 31 indie developers received a total of 4 million Australian dollars (2.7 million US dollars).
Among those who received investments are Things For Humans, Tempo Lab Games and Minimega.
It is reported that the fund will begin accepting applications for the following investments in September. Small and medium-sized studios from Australia, whose budget for the game does not exceed 500 thousand Australian dollars (345 thousand US dollars), will be able to claim the money.
In March, representatives of Games: Expansion Pack noted that they plan to invest 6 million Australian dollars (4.1 million US dollars) in developers over two years.
