Fund4Games is part of an innovative scheme which offers project management and secured funding for the UK computer games industry.
The UK has a vibrant computer games sector with a recognised talent base, but games development and publishing is fraught with risk. Fund4Games partners with developers and publishers on an individual project to ensure successful completion of the game.

Using a funding model that is unique in the computer games industry, Fund4Games finances individual games projects, rather than companies. Fund4Games uses a set of contractual relationships to control project management, help developers meet milestones, and make progress payments against future license fees. The financing is recouped when the project is complete.

The mafia game Made Man, produced by Fund4Games-backed Silverback Studios, will be published in Europe by publishers Mastertronic and is due for release in September.

The Fund4Games programme is administered by F4G Software plc, which is actively seeking projects for future development.

F4G Software, along with Scottish Enterprise, have formed the Digital Media and Creative Industries Project Fund (DMPF). This will fund more games development in Scotland.
