Ignite
We represent developers
Think Hollywood talent agency, but for game developers making world-class projects that don’t fit in genre dropdowns.
We Bridge Worlds Games Hollywood X Capital Culture X
What we bring to Developers
- Financing deals that don’t suck (we work with over 200 publishers world wide)
- A-list Hollywood talent on indie-friendly terms (yes, even for your sentient mushroom)
- A partner in the trenches – prototype by prototype, patch by patch
- Zero upfront fees – we only win when you win.
Build It
We believe indie teams should build great games, not larp as business bros.
Why we exist:
Every creative industry has agents. Except games. The result? Developers settle for bad deals daily all the while trying to ship their masterpiece. Or worse – not even knowing better options exist.
We fix that.
Push The Limit
We work best with developers pushing the envelope on stories and gameplay. If your game makes someone stop scrolling – even for a second – you’re probably our kind of developer.
-
Great Fits:
- Developers building something genuinely different (Yes, even your Chinese Restaurant Sim/JRPG hybrid. Especially that. Call us.)
- Teams telling untold stories (your grandmother’s coming of age story as a puzzler? We’re in)
- Creators who want a business partner, not another consultant (we’re in the trenches, not the conference room)
-
Not Great Fits:
- Your game plays it totally safe
- You’re building purely for market fit without any creative risk (spoiler: that’s actually the harder path)
- You’re making a mobile game
