The UK Games Fund is looking to give more of the region's game developers the chance to secure up to £25,000 ($30,500) in funding.

The initiative, now in its third round, has once again opened up its applications process and is asking interested game makers to pitch their project by November 23. 

The application process is split into two sections, and requires developers to send in a video pitch, before submitting a final written application. 

The maximum grant available is £25,000 for teams, or £15,000 ($18,300) for solo developers. Since launching last year the fund has already dished out £1.3 million ($1.58 million) of its £4 million ($4.88 million) pool. 

"We're really excited about this funding round, given the high demand and the quality of projects we've seen so far. It's also good to see the success stories arising from our support," said Paul Durrant, head of the UK Games Fund.
