GameDev.tv Indie Game Dev Fund - Support for Indie Devs | GameDev.tv Learn how the GameDev.tv Indie Game Dev Fund gives one-time cash boosts and extra visibility to promising indie projects and how to apply with your prototype.

Spotted from @remotegamejobs.com; GameDev.tv is offering 5 indie game devs $500 each as a sponsorship and applications close March 8th. That may be comparatively small to some, but to a lot of teams that can be a big help, and I love to see this kind of generous support.

The cover image for The Strange Scaffold Cool Things Club. It features the Strange Scaffold Logo, which is a cube held up by, surprisingly, some scaffolding that adds a strange connection to the shape. The cube is now made of wood with moss and small planets growing on it. A sleeping rabbit sits on the top right corner, while a cute little bird looks down from the top left. A fox sits in the bottom left, smiling. There are also the logos for Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and Amazon Music.

The text art the top of this square says "This Month..." and features pictures representing the Cool Things discussed on the show this month. Top left you see the poster for the Netflix show The Devil's Plan, which shows multiple contenstants looking towards the camera as dice fall around them. To the right of that is a screenshot from the Kairosoft game Dream Town Story, which features a pixel art city and a piece of text that says "James Shan got a treasure! They now have 58!". Below that is the album cover for Ziltoid the Omniscient, which features a Skeksis like creature wearing a cape, holding a cup of coffee and pointing a finger to the air as if he is making a point. This is drawn like a comic book. And to the left of that is a screenshot from the anime May I Ask For One Final Thing? This image features a person in a red dress, wearing studded leather gloves, punching a suited man in the face. People behind them are shocked but this guy totally deserves it.
