The creators of the Unreal Engine game engine launched an investment initiative – Unreal Dev Grants. This is, in fact, a foundation for developers. The total volume of the fund is $5 million.

The amount of grants that the company will allocate to support products will range from $5,000 to $50,000. According to the announcement of Epic Games, any team that has a working prototype of anything (a game, an architectural or an animation project) based on Unreal Engine 4 will be able to apply for money.
Receiving the grant will not oblige the team to share rights, IP or third-party investments with Epic Games. Moreover, the company does not mind if developers simultaneously collect money, for example, on Kickstarter.
