Quick — mostly identity and bank details.

You fund 50% yourself.

Who can apply

Pre-production/production: commercial companies established in France, not controlled by non-European capital; production aid requires the studio to keep at least 50% of IP and a French-language project; carbon-footprint (Jyros) assessment required for production aid. Writing aid: independent authors (natural persons) with games training or experience.
