The Outersloth Contract
Hello!
As we’ve said before, we made our indie game fund Outersloth after the success of Among Us. We’ve been lucky to be successful so far in our endeavours – as of March 2026, we’ve funded 24 games! But another goal we had was to encourage other funds/publishers to adopt terms that were more developer-friendly.
So! We’ll do that the best way we know how – by publishing our entire Outersloth contract (with emails and addresses redacted). If you’re a studio that’s interested in dabbling in funding for games, we hope this helps you get started on what your terms could look like too.
The status quo is often based on what information is publicly available, so we hope throwing our contract into the ring will help shape future conversations. Transparency is key, so hope you enjoy the read!

This contract will live on in the official Outersloth Press Kit and the main page will be updated, so don’t worry about it being buried! I would never do that to our beautiful legalese child.
If you like what we’re doing, make sure you throw the games we’re funding a wishlist and/or purchase! It helps them out a lot!
Cheers,
Victoria and Forest
P.S. I (Victoria) will write a post outlining how our system works on the backend too! Another time!
