本會自2011年起陸續贊助國內獨立遊戲開發者，前往海外參與各項獨立遊戲作品相關競賽，讓開發者在差旅費用有一定程度減輕的情況下，鼓勵他們前往海外交流，關注目前全球遊戲媒材的變化、創新趨勢。本年度贊助包括光穹遊戲、日頭遊戲、赤燭遊戲前往中國上海參與IndiePlay競賽入圍發表，並贊助SIGONO前往IndiePlay，以及東京電玩展Sense of Wonder Night進行入圍及獲獎發表。
　　Since 2011, the ARF has been successively sponsoring Taiwan independent game developers in their participation in independent game related competitions overseas. By lightening the burden of travel expenses for these developers, the aim is to encourage them to go overseas for exchange and interaction, and keep up with changes and trends in game media worldwide. This year, the ARF has sponsored 18Light, Sunhead Games and Red Candle Games in their trip to Shanghai to participate in IndiePlay finalist announcement presentation, and SIGONO's trip to IndiePlay, and to the finalist announcement and award presentation at TGS Sense of Wonder Night.
　　此外，在鼓勵開放分享、人才培育的脈絡下，本會亦循支持開源論壇活動之模式，針對台北遊戲開發者論壇進行贊助。此活動為近年來國內遊戲開發專門研討會中，完全由民間社群參與資助之代表性活動，2016年為第五屆舉辦，參與人數亦達千人之譜，並設有獨立遊戲展示專區，提供開發者面對同儕與使用者的互動機會。內容從遊戲開發相關之設計、美術、程式、音樂音效與專案管理相關議題，到社群營造、市場商務、未來趨勢觀察等多元面向。本會期望透過投入相關活動，能讓開發者間交流更加活絡，傳承經驗，面向國際。
　　To encourage open sharing and talent nurturing, the ARF has sponsored the Taipei Game Developers Forum in the same way it has supported open source forums. Among all the game developer conferences held in Taiwan in recent years, the Taipei Game Developers Forum stands out by being an event that is fully funded by private communities. Held for the fifth year in 2016, it had an attendance of close to a thousand, and provided an independent game display area for developers to interact with peers and users. It included game development related design, art, programming, music/sound effect and project management, community building, commerce and future trend observation. It is hoped that participation in the event will allow developers to interact more actively, share their experience and take their games internationally.
