MiniGame @ The Pixel Mill is open for applications



Date Posted: August 11, 2023

We are seeking new teams to video game development to apply for our MiniGame @ The Pixel Mill scheme. The video game studios must be based in Northern Ireland and working towards developing their first game with the motivation to release their first title.

MiniGame encourages studios to create mini/short games that they can publish within 5 months. These can be narrative games that can be completed in less than an hour, an endless runner with unique mechanics, a turn based strategy with interesting rules. Concise games that people can pick-up and enjoy in a day.

Three successful companies will be supported to develop their business and build their teams. As part of MiniGame companies will receive:

  • Up to £25,000 in development funding per company across 2 stages
  • Access to facilities and mentors at The Pixel Mill

Interested companies will initially be invited to complete an online expression of interest. From there, shortlisted companies will be invited to attend an interview and pitch presentation.

Deadline for applications is Monday 28th August.
