Today, we announce a new way to create your games using Megascans, Bridge, and Mixer — the Quixel Indie Program. The Indie Program gives you a complete ecosystem to take your project from prototype to publish.

If your project is selected to be part of the program, we will empower you with all the tools you need and connect you with funding and publishing partners in our network so you can execute your vision.

Once you’re published and making money, we move towards a 2.5% revenue share model.

We want (nay, need!) more great games in the world, and want to make game development as simple as possible. We want you to focus on creation, without the worry.

The Quixel Indie Program in a nutshell

— Full access to Quixel’s entire suite of tools, including Megascans, Mixer, and Bridge

— Full access to our partners to help you build, fund and publish your project

— Extended technical support from Quixel

— No upfront cost

— 2.5% of future revenue once you’re making money
