CHECKMATE - Bright Gambit

Hey indie dev,

We see you, pouring your heart (and caffeine) into your game, whether you’re solo or part of a small team. With launch day closing in, excitement and nerves are both off the charts.

If you’re hunting for funding, wrestling with marketing, or just need someone who gets it to say, “That’s normal,” we’re here. This year, we’re launching a program to support a handful of passionate devs like you, because you deserve to be seen and supported.

Let’s help you bring your game home with CHECKMATE, a program with you and your needs in mind.

We’re backing indie games launching in 2025 with:
– Funding to finish your game
– With a rev-share model that works for indie teams
– Flexible support to help you cross the finish line

The deadline to submit your game is August 31st so don’t wait!

What if my game is coming out after 2025? – Simple you can still use our usual contact form to speak to us here!
