More non-recoupable funding, meanwhile, will also be offered to certain developers to help "create a prototype that accurately communicates their vision." Lewis explains, "The types of developers that we seek to support includes but is not limited to developers who are led by those from Black, Indigenous, Latino or LGBTQIA+ communities, women, developers with disabilities, developers from emerging markets or teams with unique perspectives. For porting, the program offers "non-recoupable" funding (which "does not require exclusivity or company equity") to help devs "by offsetting their porting investment." Webinars will take place each month, called Green Room events, which will help devs talk with experts about things like marketing tips. This, says program head James Lewis, aims to "empower underrepresented creators with the resources and information needed to bring their creativity, innovation, and originality to Xbox" by focusing on porting, information, and prototypes. On top of this new process, Microsoft is also implementing the new Developer Acceleration Program. On that note, Charla says: "But to ensure all developers get equal access to decision makers at Xbox, and to provide faster feedback to developers on concepts submitted - especially for Game Pass deal evaluations - we’re going to be launching a new process that provides a template that has all the info developers need to submit a concept for deal consideration, and that will be looked at by the key decision makers from our Game Pass, business development, and Portfolio teams." Charla adds that this will help make sure "we continue to bring the widest variety of games to our players on Xbox and in Game Pass." We'll hear more about this new process in April. Celebrates ten years of the program"Meeting partners new and old and looking at games is one of the most amazing parts of getting to work on a program like and we’re never going to slow that down," says Charla, while noting the difficulties of hearing from every developer and seeing every concept.
