Shooty Fruity has announced a new £2 million fund. This will be used to co-fund and publish VR content from third-party developers which are now being actively sought.
The initiative will be led by nDreams’ David Corless, VP of Publishing and Steve Tagger, Business Development Director. They’ll be looking for projects that embrace VR’s potential, providing immersive gameplay that can’t be found on any other medium.
Studios selected for funding won’t just receive development cash, they’ll also gain full publishing support as well as nDreams’ VR expertise. This ranges from market knowledge, data insights, sales experience and game marketing to QA, localisation, technical/design consultation and more.
