Grants from the fund provide production finance by way of a contribution towards the employee and contractor costs for prototype game development.
In 2023 a residential games development opportunity called DunDev[11] began supporting companies formed from previous Tranzfuser teams.
In DunDev, four companies stay and work in the city of Dundee each January to develop their games and accelerate their business.
[12] Grants are non-repayable but trigger a commitment for recipients to give back time contributions towards the business and creative support of their peers in the independent games development community.
This was described by Sir Peter Bazalgette as a ‘deal’ between government and industry with the former providing investment and the latter maximising the economic returns through taking on and scaling up the prototype games and fostering the pipeline of talent that Tranzfuser delivers.
