The Gamma Space co-op is a community where video game creators thrive personally and collectively while developing equitable, caring, and accountable practices that challenge toxic game industry norms.
Nodes
Publishing
Our node supports the production, marketing, launch, and post-launch activities of games created by our members, ensuring their impact goals are recognized as importantly as their features.
We offer funding, mentorship, and an engaged community to developers who are not well-served by the current publishing landscape. The node has been developed closely with support from community partners Weird Ghosts and support from the Canadian Government's Investment Readiness Program.

Baby Ghosts partnership
Gamma Space is the Toronto hub of Baby Ghosts' Cooperative Studio Accelerator Network (CSAN). We host community events, provide space for peer learning, and support Baby Ghosts' cooperative governance education programming for creators from equity-deserving communities.
Cohorts in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 were also supported by Ontario Creates.

Current Activities
Investment Readiness Program
The Canadian government has recognized our efforts to develop alternative business models that have the potential to impact not just our members, but the video game sector as a whole.
Members are engaged with a cohort of peers from across Canada to help develop our regenerative publishing model in alignment with social impact investors.
Member Game Jam
To mark the completion of Gamma Space's first member onboarding process, we're developing a game based on our shared learnings. Instead of the usual 72hr jam, we've stretched ours across four months. The resulting game will be released publicly with commentary from the participants.
Anti-Oppression and Decolonization Framework
We commit to actively working to inform, learn, teach, activate, model, and champion values and practices of anti-oppression and decolonization in all community activities and shared spaces. We understand this to be an iterative, humbling and rewarding process that requires time, care, compassion, love, attention, courageous and gracious commitment; that it involves continuous self-examination concerning our roles in society, culture, and history; and that it extends beyond compliance with diversity and human rights standards. Our goal is to dismantle power and privilege and mitigate systemic inequalities for those most affected by oppression and colonization – while investing in both personal growth and collective well-being.
Statement About Palestine
We believe in the humane and just treatment of Palestinians, as well as their right to live on their homelands free from occupation, determine their own governance, return home from exile, and enjoy unqualified dignity, freedom, and safety.
