Ouya’s $1M indie-game fund is live — goal is to help crowdfunded games

Ouya is officially launching its Free The Games Fund to help indie developers — and Ouya itself.

Free The Games Fund is a $1 million investment campaign run by Ouya, the company that makes the Android microconsole of the same name. Ouya plans to give that money away to successfully funded developers on the Kickstarter crowdfunding site. If a project meets Ouya’s requirements, the console manufacturer will double the amount that a developer raised from crowdfunding — up to $250,000.
