Screenshot from GDC website. Title: Game Funding: Lessons from Outersloth Description: What's it like funding games? This talk will go over the stats, learnings, and reflections on starting and running Outersloth, an indie game fund created from the success of the game Among Us. Starting in 2022, it has successfully funded 20+ games of varying genres. See what happens behind-the-scenes when you submit a game, insight into self-publishing, and a call for more game funds to exist (or at least, for publishers to give better support.) This is NOT a talk about how to perfectly pitch a game or self-publish as an indie - it is a transparent reveal of the journey behind running a games fund, insights we've gained from submissions, and why self-publishing has become more important than ever.
