Macclesfield, UK - August 14, 2025. Silver Lining Interactive is excited to announce the launch of the Silver Bullet Programme, a bold new initiative built to support and highlight independent game developers who are crafting the next generation of unforgettable gaming experiences.
Silver Lining Interactive knows that some of the most unforgettable games don’t come from massive studios; they come from small, passionate teams and solo creators with bold ideas. The Silver Bullet Programme is here to help those voices break through.
The Indie Riptide: A Force Worth Backing
We’ve felt it before, that instant pull of a great idea. A game that grabs you early, holds your attention, and stays with you long after you put the controller down. We call it the Indie Riptide, and we’re looking for the developers that catch players in that creative current.
What the Silver Bullet Programme Offers:
-
Up to $100,000 in development funding
-
Tailored, collaborative publishing support
-
Marketing, QA, and porting assistance
-
Hands-on guidance to help reach the right players
-
Total creative freedom. Your vision remains yours

The Silver Bullet Programme is all about backing untamed, original voices in gaming. If you're building something bold, beautiful, and just a little dangerous, we want to hear from you.
What We're Looking For:
-
The Riptide Effect – Games that pull players in from the first moment and don’t let go.
-
Focus Grabbing – Concepts that rise above the noise and demand attention.
-
Inherently Shareable – Experiences players need to tell their friends about.
“We’ve seen how games can change people’s lives, and we believe that these games often come from unexpected places like a garage, a bedroom, or a late-night passion project,” said Ross Griffith, Head of Marketing at Silver Lining Interactive. “Silver Bullet was created to help weird and out-there games get the shot they deserve. We're not here to change your game or vision into what we think is marketable, as we don’t believe that kind of publishing works anymore. We want to catch awesome games we might otherwise miss, and amplify them, support them, and help them reach the audience they were always meant for. When a developer has that kind of game, along with that drive, that tenacity, we want to stand beside them and say, ‘Let’s make this real.’”
Got the spark? Silver Bullet fuels the fire.
