Publisher Slitherine has launched a fund to support indie developers and a publishing label. Their common name is K—Project.
Now the volume of the fund is $ 100 thousand. The indie games funded by the foundation will be released under the K-Project brand. 5% of the income of these titles will return to the fund and will be invested in the development of new games.
The publisher is interested in “risky” indie strategies (what Slitherine understands by the word “risky” is not specified). With the help of K-Project, the company wants to help strategies stand out in the market.
To receive funding, the developer must demonstrate a demo of the game, a video of the gameplay, or a vertical slice. According to the publisher, all IP rights will remain with the authors of the game, writes Gamesindustry.biz .
Slitherine expects that 4-5 games a year will be released under the K-Project label. Three projects are already participating in the initiative. These are Tactical Troops: Anthracite Shift from QED Games and two more unannounced titles.
Slitherine is a British publisher and developer of historical wargames. He has published Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm and the Command series. He also holds the rights to the cult franchises Fantasy General and Master of Magic.
