    The European Commission created a 1.5m€ fund to help European game developers to build their next game prototype.

    The "MEDIA/Interactive works" program allows developers who have released a commercial title between 1 January 2005 and the date of their application to apply for a financial help that can amount from 10,000€ to 100,000€ depending on the project. This grant don't have to be refund.

    More information can be found both on the related European Commision website and on the EGDF website.

    10.000 to a 100.000 euro and a 1.500.000 total so 15-150 projects can get in ?

    hmmm...

    100.000 seams too little to completely finance something worth playing

    but its the thought that counts

    It might not be massive, but hell, it's a step towards games getting the same kind of non-publisher funding that movies have enjoyed for ages. With the budgets of games getting so immense it's about time.

    Despite not being an a lot of money, then it's still a very significant step forward for the games industry in the EU. I just hope that aren't giving this out just to shut up people from the industry.
