WHAT IS UKGF?

UKGF is run by UK Games Talent and Finance CIC. UKGTF is a community interest
company that has been established to help develop the UK games development
sector, particularly at the early stage. We are not for profit and do not have
share capital. Since 2015 we’ve helped to bring together a community of over
8,000 UK games developers, supporting them to grow their talent and creativity
with funding from the UK Government.

Our aim is to boost the UK’s games business and talent ecosystem. We want our
funding to create jobs, promote diverse new teams, enhance skills and increase
the amount of new games IPs in the UK. In short, we’re working to support the
UK’s early-stage games development community.

More about UKGF


WORDS FROM OUR COMMUNITY

This was a superb opportunity for Roll7 and really allowed us to focus on one
project and not have to scrap around for ‘gun for hire’ work to help fund our
prototype. This money helped get our deal over the line and secure the company
financially for the next two years.

TOM HEGARTY

Roll7
The UK Games Fund first granted assistance to Coatsink in 2016, since then we
have tripled our revenue from £1,750,000 to £5,000,000 and doubled our staff
from 33 to 62.

TOM BEARDSMORE

Coatsink
We have applied for and received funding for various sources over the years and
the UK Games Fund has by far the least stressful application and reporting
process of all of them.

TOMAS RAWLINGS

Auroch Digital
Original IP development is both difficult and high risk, the UKGF is invaluable
in helping UK game studios compete globally.

FRANK ARNOT

Stormcloud Games
I can’t state strongly enough how critical the UK Games Fund has been to our
business. We would simply not have the capacity to take on the risk of
developing new technology without it.

THE PROTOTYPE FUND

We’ve run regular rounds of prototype funding since 2015, each offering support
of up to £30,000 in grant support. Projects have varied in size, platform and
targeted markets. Some have gone on to be self-published, others have secured
further investment for continued development from publishers and investors.

Our initial offering included direct grant funding of up to £30,000, but our
learning over the course of the prototype fund has resulted in the evolution of
our support.

We want our funded community to be sustainable and ambitious in their business
activities. Whilst we support creative projects, one of our main goals in
providing grant funding is to help support businesses that have the potential to
grow and flourish as successful UK-based entities.

CONTENT FUND

DCMS announced an additional £5 million for the UK Games Fund as part of the
Creative Industries Sector Vision – a joint plan between Government and industry
to drive growth, build talent and develop skills across the creative sectors.

This funding offers £50,000 – £150,000 commercial games-for-entertainment
content grants.
