With this budget, depending on your needs:

- ✓Key art
- ✓Trailer
- ✓Advertising (Reddit, Meta)
- ✓Promotional events (GMIF, Pégases, The Mix…)
In return
- →Your project is followed by a member-mentor
- →Expenses are tracked on a debt slate
- →This debt is repaid first (80% TyGAMES, 20% dev)
- →Once the debt is cleared, the revshare flips in favor of the dev (30% TyGAMES, 70% dev)
- →The contract cannot be terminated before repayment

We do ports in-house, with strong technical expertise and prior experience on each console.
We own devkits and testkits. You can retrieve the source code at the end of the port.
