Funding Discovery Platform for European Indie Game Studios
Key Outcome
Centralized platform helping indie studios discover funding opportunities, simulate revenues, and access expert support
The Problem
European indie game studios faced a fragmented funding landscape with more than 600 heterogeneous support sources, many of them difficult to find or compare. The client needed a platform that could make this ecosystem accessible through fast search, clear navigation, secure infrastructure, and a user experience aligned with the creative spirit of indie studios.
What We Built
- Centralized discovery platform aggregating funding sources and support resources for indie game developers across Europe
- Responsive artistic product experience integrating custom illustrations into a scalable web platform
- High-performance search and filtering powered by Algolia for fast and accurate results
- Revenue planner simulation developed with finance experts to help studios model projections using customizable launch, pricing, publisher, and distribution assumptions
- Secure and scalable infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform with Firebase for authentication and storage
- User behavior analytics using Google Analytics and Algolia analytics to optimize search and product decisions
- CMS and operational data workflows built with Rowy, Firebase integration, webhooks, and cloud functions
- DevOps workflow using GitHub, GitHub Actions, and Cloud Run for reliable deployment and scaling
The Outcome
A production-ready platform backed by the Creative Europe Business Innovation Programme, giving indie studios a faster and more structured way to discover funding options, explore business scenarios, and navigate support opportunities through a secure, scalable, and visually distinctive product experience.
