2024 Call for Proposals for Games: Prototype Grants

About

IMDA recognises the potential of using video games as a medium to promote Singapore’s rich culture and heritage and deepen engagement with diverse audiences both within Singapore and internationally. We are keen to support the development of video games that will effectively promote and engage audiences with Singaporean narratives and culture. At this initial stage, our support is focused on the development of game prototypes to validate and establish their potential.

The game may be set in any environment but should be relatable to the Singapore context. Selected proposals will receive S$50,000 to develop a prototype (vertical slice with at least 10-minute gameplay), which is to be play-tested at a physical event. The selected teams will also receive regular feedback from a curated panel comprising global and local publishers to ensure that the vertical slice is of a globally competitive quality.
