It's been over a year since several developers of successful PC indie game titles announced plans for the Indie Fund, an organization dedicated to helping fund promising indie game titles. PC Gamer reports that during a panel at GDC 2011 today the Indie Fund finally revealed which games would receive its first phase of grants.

One of the games is one some of you may have heard of: Monaco, the winner of the grand prize in the 2010 Independent Games Festival. The top down stealth action game comes from the one man team (Andy Schatz) at Pocketwatch Games. The second title is Shadow Physics, a platformer set in a world of shadows cast by shadows. The final game title to receive funding is Q.U.B.E., a title from Toxic Games that's a first person puzzle title with some similarities to Portal. There's no word on how much money each development team received from the Indie Fund. Meanwhile the organization still has half of its money and is still taking submissions from other indie game developers.
