๐Ÿ’ต MONEY for GAME? In 2026??? ๐Ÿ’ต

There have been more and more successful-game-devs-turned-game-funders popping up, so here's a lil' thread of some of the more recent ones I've seen.

Hopefully this helps you get some $$$! ๐Ÿ”ฝ

As we get closer to the holidays, Leon has set up his Christmas tree!
I hope he's on the nice list, because in Port Gelour, the alternative isn't coal....

Merry Devmas day 9!

Pro Game Dev Tip: Don't have assets ready for that level? Never mind! Cropped photos and MS Paint are your best friends. Just don't expect anyone other than your team to understand what is going on.

Can you tell what's happening in these high-quality scenes?

Space fans will agree, when it comes to the best view, itโ€™s hard to beat a front row seat to auroras lighting up a starry night sky.

In our game Teeto, you can absorb things, changing your form to get special powers.

What if? Here's a feature that never made the cut for #Apothecurse.
Our old crafting system! It's pretty basic, but we've revamped this whole system, more on this in a future post!

Happy Devmas day 4 btw ๐Ÿฆ‘
