Recall, the "Video Game Factory" is an accelerator that launched in the summer of 2024 with the support of the Agency of Creative Industries (ACI). It assists budding developers with game creation and pitching to publishers and investors.
According to ACI, thanks to the accelerator, participants managed to attract investments totaling over 180 million from the Indie GO fund, as well as grants from the Moscow Venture Fund. The developers can use these funds to refine their projects and release them both in Russia and abroad.
ACI also noted that support for developers wasn't limited to just investments. Fourteen studios involved with the "Video Game Factory" became residents of the recently launched video game and animation cluster in Moscow.
In total, throughout the existence of the "Video Game Factory," accelerator participants developed 104 game demos. Some of them are already available on various platforms, while the rest will debut throughout 2026.
