ARGF is a games fund that invests in almost finished indie game projects to help them across the finish line.

GET IN TOUCH

We know making games is hard. It's only when we make it to the end we realize:

“Darn, I wish I just had a bit more budget for...”:

More polish

Another coder

Localization

A snazzy trailer

Marketing

Outsourcing

ARGF helps with project funding (no equity) and doesn't take an arm or a leg for the trouble.

You keep the IP, publishing rights and creative ownership.

We're the right partner if you:

Are max 6 months from release.
Have a playable build.
Have a plan for marketing the game.
Intend to launch a PC or console game.
Are looking for up to $250.000.

"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." - famous gaming proverb

Do any of these pain points sound familiar to you?

SELF-PUBLISHING

I want to self-publish. I don't want a publisher - I even have a marketing partner. I just need to pay them.

SERVICES

The game is done - I just need a bit of money for QA/UX/UI design and implementation.

PORTING

I'd love to get the game out on Playstation / Xbox / Switch / Ouya. I just need to pay the porting partner.

BUY MORE TIME

I just need a bit more time to polish and and wrap up development.

LOCALIZATION

The game is done - but the word on the (indie) street is that I should add as many languages as possible.

HIRE EXPERTS

You need a very particular set of skills. Skills someone has acquired over a long career.

Sometimes it's good to have someone who gets games, who's been around the block a few times, whom you can always call and is always on your side!
