Gamasutra reports that SquareEnix has announced opening their Collective up to make direct investments into select projects. This means that smaller developers (including mobile developers) can pitch their ideas to SquareEnix and potentially get funded directly.

“Since launching a year ago we’ve met some great teams with projects that they didn’t want to take to crowdfunding, and where an investment of up to $250,000 would have really helped them get to launch in the best shape,” said the platform’s creator and project lead Phil Elliott. “So we’ll be exploring options with teams over the course of the year as we continue to look for new ways to support new talent coming into the industry.”

$250,000 can go a long way to helping out a project. If you are interested, you can contact the Collective Team at[email protected].

IGG Software, Inc. has announced that their iBank app will have an extension for the Apple Watch. The app lets you keep on top of your budget by monitoring account balances and investment performance. It also gives you a quick overview of your money using the Glance feature, and with the Apple Watch activating this mode will be as simple as raising your wrist. You can also tap to check your accounts in more detail.

“The launch of the Apple Watch is an exciting time and we’re thrilled to be a part of it with the iBank Watch app extension,” said Ian Gillespie, president of IGG Software and creator of iBank, in a press release. “This offering provides iBank users with a new way to conveniently monitor their finances in real-time and on-the-go.”

The iBank Watch app extension will be available in iBank for iPhone 2.6 and will be free for users of iBank for iPhone 2 or higher.
