We want to build a
better games industry
together.

Community-funded. Creator-owned. No crunch.
A mutual aid platform for indie developers and the people who believe in them.

// what we are

A different kind of funding.

><_<
The Problem

Mass layoffs after successful launches. Crunch on every project. Studios that close the moment funding dries up. The games industry is broken for the people who make it.

[=]
The Model

Backers pay $5/mo into a shared pool. Studios apply for funding. Selected teams receive stable multi-year support — no investors, no publishers, no compromise.

/!\
The Difference

We're not a crowdfunder. Not a publisher. We're a mutual aid system — built on transparency, worker-first ethics, and the belief that great games need safe conditions to exist.

// how it works

Simple by design.

Four steps. One flat price. A healthier industry.

01

Backers fund the pool

Every member contributes $5/mo. No tiers. No advantages for spending more. Everyone gets everything.

02

Studios apply

Indie studios submit their game plan — creative direction, timeline, staffing, salaries. Reviewed by a developer-led board.

03

Selected teams get funded

Up to 24 months of stable monthly support. Studios commit to no crunch, no layoffs, and transparent progress reports.

04

Games ship when they're ready

No external deadlines. No forced early access. Teams decide their own timelines — and ship when the work is done.

// backer membership
$5 /mo

One flat price. Full access. Everyone gets everything.

We deliberately chose not to build tiers. Paying more shouldn't buy you a better experience or more access. This is a collective — everyone's contribution matters equally.

  • [+] Game discounts on all FPC-backed titles

Once we get subscribers and we've knocked out the rest of the admin costs, all further funds go right here. Lets fund some games.

All figures are approximate. Zero dollars currently go toward game backing — that is a future phase.

// backer rewards

Backing has its perks.

Stay consistent and your profile earns it. Achievements are earned, not bought — every backer starts equal.
