If you were curious about what Player 3 does, hopefully this helps!

Also, weโ€™ll be adding support for games soon, focusing on a D2C model. This means youโ€™ll earn directly from all of your sells, instead of the money going through the platform!

Just the thought of the crazy advancements that the world would have across all sectors if we just worked together, is insane.

How Palworld is BEATING Nintendo AND Pokรฉmon!
YouTube video by Kae So How Palworld is BEATING Nintendo AND Pokรฉmon!

I have some thoughts on Nintendo & Pokรฉmon's Patent.
As a big fan of the franchise that had such an impact on my childhood, this sucks to see.

Nintendo should be paving the way for game devs... Not destroying it.

Do Better ๐Ÿ™„

There's some really good blogging options.

BearBlog.dev It's a very cool, simple blogging platform, but not game focused

@iksmith.bsky.social here on bsky Just launched player3.io which is game focused. It has lot of cool features, but you can create content and tag it as a DevLog for sure

And yes! Thanks for sharing that. Itโ€™s awesome knowing that others have those same experiences and memories.

Youโ€™re exactly right on the documenting!
Itโ€™s good to let those thoughts out somewhere ๐Ÿ’ญ

Haha, yes! That's how I work too.
It's important to keep dreaming, regardless of the outcome!

Too many games w/large marketing budgets have been pushed to the front, just to under deliver on what gamers expect.

Something needs to change.

Because the truth is, itโ€™s not about the size of the studio. Itโ€™s about the value the project can provide its audience.

I want to help change the dynamics of gaming by bringing more indie projects to the spotlight.

Indie games deserve just as much mainstream attention.

Hey friends!

I finally got around to making a product hunt launch, hoping to help Player 3 get discovered by more game devs, gamers, and fans.

Iโ€™d love it if you could show support!

Buuuut, I was going to say you could also use Player 3 for this! lmao, it's like Ko-Fi, but made for gaming.

Exactly!

I understand why they have the model, but every dollar helps during game development. Especially for those that just want to support them any way they can.

Itโ€™s not the ideal model that a game dev should feel forced to try out, so Iโ€™m just providing other options

Not to mention, Kickstarter isnโ€™t a platform necessarily meant for gaming.
As a gamer, I donโ€™t casually view projects on Kickstarter.

Iโ€™d be more inclined to check out and support projects that were on sites dedicated to gaming.

Thatโ€™s my option of course.
But what are your thoughts?

My goal is to help at least 1 dev get their project funded before the end of the year.

If youโ€™re raising or considering raising for your project, Iโ€™d love for you to check it out and let me know your thoughts.

I want to continue improving the tools that allow gamers to support its creators!

Less than 1% of the 22k+ video game projects listed on Kickstarter receive funding.

I get the model, but that doesnโ€™t mean that itโ€™s right way for devs.

So, Iโ€™ve added donation goals to Player 3 so you can actually receive what you earn.

Good luck with your Kickstarter campaign!

I know sometimes it can be difficult, but keep pushing through!

If you need any additional help with funding your project, I'd love to chat. I built a free platform to help indies like you raise without the barriers of all-or-nothing campaigns โค๏ธ

I'm excited to continue my mission of creating a home for gaming.

A true place where gamers can support gaming, without the extra BS like hidden agendas, ads, or corporate politics.

I'll be pushing hard on implementing more features to give smaller creators the tools they need to win!
