After the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, many people were forced to get involved in this terrible dispute. A good news I heard recently is that although there are some disputes about the ownership of the IP rights of the game "the sinking city" the Ukrainian game developer Frogwares has been helped by the megagrant project launched by Epic Games**
In an announcement on the official website, Frogwares disclosed some details of the cooperation:
In Ukraine, where the conflict has not ended, the studio needs to rely on a strong heart to maintain a positive attitude, support the business operation until the end of the chaos as much as possible, and provide necessary support to relevant team members.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has had a considerable negative impact on the workflow, which is also a main reason why we are proud to share the megagrant funding provided by Epic Games.
With this vital fund, Frogwares will move employees to safer places and help those who move to remote areas of Ukraine or other EU countries maintain their financial stability.
As for megagrant the project itself , Epic Games aims to provide game practitioners with the funds needed for migration and design related special equipment.
Game development studios in need can report what financial blow they suffered during the Russian Ukrainian conflict, so as to make a living with megagrant's support.
Finally, at the end of the article, frogwars thanked epic again and hoped that the game development studio and its employees could survive this difficult time smoothly.
