MAKE GAMES.

At launch, we'll support Unity, Unreal Engine, and Godot. So if you use one of those engines - you're in luck! When you join, you'll be paired with a Dev Pod that uses your engine.

We need all sorts of skills to make games! 2D & 3D Artists, sound designers, musicians, writers - everybody! If you're not a programmer, don't sweat - there's still a spot for you.

Yes! But not immediately. At first, you have to participate and help someone else make their game idea. But after that, you can pitch ideas to the group once a week, and get people on board to make your game as a project lead.

Everyone that contributes owns their specific contribution. So if a programmer writes some code, they own that code. But they license it to the project so that it can be used in the published game with no issue. So no one owns the games, but the individual parts that make up a game are owned if that makes sense.

Unfortunately, no. Because of the way the ownership and team structure works, commercial games would complicate it quite a bit. And when money is involved things often escalate quickly. So no, the games you make within Dev Pods cannot be sold. They will be released online for free (most likely via itch.io). Think of Dev Pods more like a longer version of a game jam, with teammates ready to help you and make games. And don't forget - if you find people you like working with here you can absolutely team up and make your own commercial games!

Yes. Finishing is one of the core principles of Dev Pods. All games pitched have to meet certain scope requirements, and we have expert staff that will assist in the completion of the game and make sure it crosses the finish line. Most game projects will ship within 3 months, some of them even faster than that. There are occasional problems that come up, but we do our best to make sure all games get finished.

Yes! You are not signing up for an unpaid game development job - this is instead sort of a decentralized collaboration team for game projects. Once you're inside the group, you'll be able to see all of the active games being made, all of the tasks that need completion inside those games, and you can pick and choose what games to work on and which parts of those games to work on. There is no set schedule, you pick the tasks you want to work on, and you pick when you want to work on them. You get to contribute to games teams on your own schedule!

Yes! This is not a fast paced game industry type of environment. Instead its a slow chill game dev group where we all make games together. If you're a beginner that's ok. You'll have to learn a few tools like GitHub, but you can take on easier tasks within smaller games. And its totally ok to take on a task and not quite be able to get it done. We'll have plenty of other members ready to help.
