DevPods.gg - Make Games the Fun Way!

Releasing games isn't about more hours, or harder work, but using a good process to guide the same amount of work to add up by a release date you choose. DevPods.gg includes training in that process and real, hands-on practice applying it #gamedev #indiedev #unreal #unity #godot

It's my birthday! So we got YOU a gift, free resources for new game developers 🎁 It's free and covers many of our core processes in Dev Pods. Includes our schedule template, playtest form questions, tool to narrow down ideas, and more. Bonus self-care doc by @tybawai.bsky.social !

A feel-good video about making indie games, if you need that.

Here's how we released 200+ games #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #gamedesign

p.s. it's my birthday in 2 weeks if you'd like to do something for the soon to be birthday boy nothing would make me happier than sharing this video on what I've been doing with my life so I can help more people ♥️

Doing gamedev solo isn't a show of strength, it's a weakness from not knowing how to be part of a team

In DevPods.gg we make freeware games together to help people overcome limitations of doing everything alone

Pick the games or roles that interest you, or use included training to start a new team
