HOW IT WORKS.

1. CREATE IT.

As you set-up your Kickstarter campaign, include the below copy and the Free The Games Fund logo in the main body of your campaign description to alert potential backers about the Fund and encourage participation and support.

Double Our Fun(ds)!
We're participating in OUYA's #FreeTheGames Fund, created by OUYA to support developers making new and creative console games. OUYA will match your pledge dollar-for-dollar if we raise a minimum of $50,000, so help us get there and make a great game for everyone! To be eligible for this match, we commit that this game will be an OUYA exclusive for six months—no matter what. To learn more about OUYA, go to www.OUYA.tv.

 

2. SIGN IT UP.

We need to know that you’re joining us on this project, so we need you to take two simple steps: (1) email us at [email protected] with your campaign details so that we can help promote your #FreeTheGames campaign across the land and (2) agree to the terms and conditions (you’ll be able to complete this step on this website very soon). These steps are required before you launch on Kickstarter to be eligible, so please be sure to complete them.

 

3. LAUNCH IT.

Launch your Kickstarter game campaign on or after August 9, 2013 and have it end any day on or before August 10, 2014.

 

4. FUND IT.

To be eligible for matching, you need to (a) meet your funding goal and (b) raise a minimum of $50,000.

 

5. WE'LL 2X IT.

If your Kickstarter campaign meets the funding requirements and you agree to be exclusive on OUYA for a minimum of six months—beginning the day you launch on OUYA—we’ll match 100% of the total amount raised up to $250,000 (until the $1M fund is tapped).
