With the discussion about new regulations for the funding of games in Germany coming up, it pays to have a look at the funding situation in other countries. Fittingly, the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport has presented the preliminary results of a new sub-fund inside the UK Games Fund. From a pot of five million Pounds in the funding programme for emerging video game developers and start-up studios, three million Pounds have already gone to 22 different studios. Applications for the other two million Pounds are still open, the Department says. Studios can be funded with values between 50,000 and 150,000 pounds.
