Outersloth

Outersloth is sponsored by Innersloth. Outersloth is an indie game fund created by the developers of Among Us to financially support other indie developers without publishing obligations.

Outersloth | Innersloth - Creators of Among Us and The Henry Stickmin Collection! At Innersloth, we make whatever we want. Whether it was a choose-your-own-path Flash game, murderous spacebeans, or poop week (don’t ask), we explored our silliest, weirdest ideas.

We are incredibly lucky with the success of The Henry Stickmin Collection and Among Us. (Dig2China was uh, there.) Our players, friends, and family made it happen, allowing us to be truly independent.

No investors, no publishers, no acquisitions. Sharing our success and supporting indie games is incredibly important to us. That’s why we created our indie game fund Outersloth !

Plus, we have Casey Yano (Mega Crit) and a [MYSTERY INDIE] friend who are contributing funds too. We give you money. You take the money.

We do a slow nod at each other, never breaking eye contact. Eventually we awkwardly end the video call. You do stuff with it.

Profit. Edit: Our lawyers said we have to sign papers too. You can see our entire contract below.

Bounce ideas off of us or get advice from our team! We can also make introductions to partners who may be helpful to you. Note we’re not a full service publisher.

We don’t take any credit, authority, or claims over your game, IP, or company. Do your own thing! Live!

Outersloth is for indie developers looking for funds to get their game off the ground or some extra money to finish it. This is a recoup and revshare model, and we’ve consulted with others to ensure it’s at a competitive rate that keeps your sustainability in mind. We’re partnered with Casey Yano (Mega Crit) and a [MYSTERY INDIE] friend to fund even more games!

You can read the entirety of our contract and terms here . As this is run primarily by Forest Willard (CEO), Victoria Tran (Comms Director) and Kristi Anderson (Production Director) at Innersloth, our small team size will mean slower response times. This fund is also very hands-off.

If you’re looking for full service publishing (help with marketing, localization, etc.), we might not be for you! Here’s a guide on what we want to see when you submit to us.

Must have a pitchdeck with: Budget (we’ll most likely fund things between $50k-$2m, but feel free to shoot your shot) Other supplemental items that’d help your pitch e.g. market research, press kit, trailers, gameplay videos Any other information you’d like us to know We are mostly looking for: Premium PC, console, or mobile projects Games that are not yet released (i.e. if the game is in Early Access, it will not be considered) Games you’re passionate about – there’s no set genre we’re looking for Do not pitch us blockchain/web3/AI-generated games We love supporting indies but we are small!

It will take us a long time to respond. Use the form below to pitch your game. Do NOT send it via email or else it’ll be sent to the shadow realm (deleted).
