Google Play Indie Games Fund — Africa

First one on the continent: $1M across ten Sub-Saharan studios, $50k–$200k each, no equity taken, plus mentorship. Thirty-two eligible countries, 50-employee cap, and you must already have shipped — no prototypes. Applications close noon UTC Jul 31, eleven days out. The catch is in the back half: winners ship to Google Play if they haven't and join Play Pass non-exclusively for two years. Real money into a scene that has been building on its own for a decade — and also a distribution play. Both things are true and the studios can read.
