About The Game Maker Fund

The Game Maker Fund is an initiative that supports game designers in The Sandbox.

The main purpose is to reward and incentivise those who have proven skills in game design or digital world design to help them produce and publish excellent games and other experiences (such as galleries, educational dioramas, and so on) for players of The Sandbox to visit, play and enjoy. The designers will also be able to monetise this experience when it is launched.

We support all talents without distinction of gender identity, nationality and so on, everyone is welcome. We also support teams and studios.
