The Indie Game Foundry provides an ​educational foundation to help new or ​existing game developers start their own ​studios, step them through the process of ​formal business formation, and help ​guide them through the game ​development process and releasing a ​fully developed game over a 12 month ​timeline.


Our goal is to provide new developers ​who want to carve their own path in the ​gaming industry the guidance they need ​to navigate the big questions ​surrounding founding their own studios ​and launching their own games with ​expert advisement and resources.


The starting price for each team selected is $6995, with ​flexible payment options available. Each team will keep ​100% of their games’ revenue until they earn back the ​initial $6995, and after that, we split 70% for the team and ​30% for Foundry, all of this post-distribution fees*.


This is our introductory price to the program, exclusive for ​this first cohort of Foundry.


For each Cohort, we’ll select only 5 teams from all ​applications, based mainly but not exclusively on the ​following criteria:


  • Team Cohesion & Leadership
  • Application Quality
  • Game Concept Pitch with Pitch Deck

Who Are We?

Why Do We Do This?

The Indie Game Foundry is built and run by the same ​team as ​the Indie Game Academy, the leading ​gamified online ​game development school.


We want you to succeed. We want to help juniors find ​​a footing in an industry where entry-level work is ​nearly ​impossible to find. We want to help found ​studios that treat their developers right and end the ​cycle of hiring and firing that dominates the AAA ​scene.


We are tired of a cutthroat industry, and the ​gatekeeping habits that make it so challenging for ​new and junior developers to break into the industry, ​and we are here to change that. It’s time to do it a ​new way.
