微软已经与Creative England宣布了一项合作伙伴关系,旨在促进英国初创游戏公司的发展。
该计划名为“ Greenshoots”,并得到区域增长基金的支持,该计划为多达10个独立工作室或初创工作室提供高达25,000英镑的现金注入,以帮助开发和推广适用于智能手机和平板电脑的游戏。
有趣的是,尽管有微软的参与,但由Greenshoots计划资助的游戏并不需要Windows 8或Windows Phone独有,这意味着工作室也可以针对iOS和Android。
走向绿色
为了申请,工作室必须符合某些资格,必须从事游戏业务不到五年,并且年收入低于25万英镑。
最后,他们必须位于英格兰的合格地区-包括西北,东北,约克郡和亨伯赛德,西米德兰兹郡,沃里克郡,康沃尔郡,德文郡,多塞特郡,萨默塞特郡,布里斯托尔和巴斯。
但是,认捐的资金只是一种投资,而不是发放。但是,公司只有在从游戏中获利时才偿还投资。

Microsoft and Creative England to invest £250,000 in indie game development
Microsoft has unveiled a partnership with Creative England aimed at fostering growth in start-up game companies in the UK.
Named Greenshoots and supported by the Regional Growth Fund, the program offers up to 10 indie or start-up studios a cash injection of up to £25,000 to help develop and promote a game for smartphones and tablets.
Interestingly, despite Microsoft's involvement, games funded by the Greenshoots program are not required to be exclusive to Windows 8 or Windows Phone, meaning studios can also target iOS and Android.
Going green
In order to apply, a studio must meet certain qualifications.
They must have been in the games business for under five years and have an annual income less than £250,000.
Finally, they must be located in an eligible region of England - which includes the North West, North East, Yorkshire and Humberside, West Midlands, Warwickshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Bristol and Bath.
The pledged funds serve as an investment rather than a handout, however, but companies only pay back the investment once they're making money from the game.
Applications for the Greenshoots program are due on October 18 with funds to be allocated in November. Those interested in learning more can visit the program's official page.
