The journey of trying to make a video game is an intense, arduous quest, often paralleling the perils of the games that inspired it. It requires an inquisitive mind, futuristic wisdom, a ton of loot, and a badass party, each bringing their own special abilities to help transform a dream into reality. 
 
Your spawn point might also be nowhere near any of the aforementioned resources, so how does one find their fellow visionary adventurers and the funding to forge the functionalities and fables to enrapture gamers around the world... and, you know, pay rent??? 
 
Enter Brooklyn-Based VoxPop, a distribution platform and middleware toolset that helps every role in indie game development find projects and strong collaborative fits while ensuring all involved receive an equitable payout from the endeavor.
 
Through VoxPop’s core model, creators can pay collaborators (programmers, artists, community managers, etc.) with a percentage of their game's earnings. Whenever the game gets released, everyone will get paid in dividends after each sale. This allows devs to jumpstart their build even if they don’t have access to initial capital. Share amounts are agreed upon, and payments are fully automated. The VoxPop platform will calculate what’s owed and distribute proceeds to all shareholders. This model also incentivizes everyone invested to help push the game.
VoxPop game devs have effectively partnered with PR/marketing opportunities and streamers to help push their art to a wider audience, and now VoxPop is finding success through their “VoxPop Fund” — receiving proposals and stepping into a producer role on selected projects, and securing a publishing partnership with GamerSky. The first of these was Salt & Pixel’s “Outer Terror” — a cult classic action roguelike harkening back to b-movie horror and grindhouse gore.
