A community-funded initiative for fair, independent game development.
🚧 This Is Just the Beginning
We’re not launching a product — we’re starting a movement.
The Fair Play Collective is in its earliest days, and we’re inviting creators, collaborators, and believers in fair, sustainable game development to help shape it from the ground up.
Whether you're a developer, backer, or just curious — you're here at the start.
Let’s build it right.
🧭 Mission
We believe great games are made by people — not publishers.The Fair Play Collective is a community-funded initiative supporting small studios with the time, funding, and freedom to make bold games on their terms. No layoffs, no crunch, no corporate compromise.
📜 Manifesto
Our manifesto outlines what we stand for — from how we support studios to the values that shape our community.
🎮 What Backers Get
During our early phase (before releases):
- ✅ Founding Member credit in every funded game
- ✅ 40% off MSRP for all games while subscribed
- ✅ One free rotating game/month once the library begins
- ✅ Monthly dev diaries and studio updates
- ✅ BTS access to the creative process
- ✅ Early invitations to shape policies & structure
🛠️ Where We Are Now
We’re in the early days of building something radical — and we’re doing it out in the open.
- ✍️ Finalizing our studio funding model
- 🧠 Drafting creative ethics & transparency guidelines
- 🤝 Talking to developers, producers & allies
- 🌱 Preparing for soft-launch of supporter signup
🧠 Creative Ethics & AI Policy
While I (Dylan) am using AI to help with administrative tasks like outlining or formatting (like this FAQ), creative work must come from real humans, with real credit and real pay, this includes everything else as soon as we get more humans involved with the project.
But we stand firmly against its use in the creative work we support.
