💵 MONEY for GAME? In 2026??? 💵

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 $$$! 🔽

Order Automatica is the auto battler ritual game for a secret society 👁️

It's got emergent gameplay and interesting synergies to discover, and I'm adding new stuff every day.

It will come out this year! #TurnBasedThursday

I am lightly searching for work : )

I finished up on Big Hops at the end of November and planned to take all of December to work full time on Order Automatica.

I'll probably make a more thorough post later, but if you have need for a programmer/designer I'd be happy to talk!

Latest version of my jam game for #CorgiJam is feeling solid now : ) Added multiplicative tiles that make really high scores possible, and it feels more like a real arcade game. newbeings.itch.io/make-nines

I spent this morning updating the game a bit. Made it look worse to make it look better. Also made the SFX a bit less annoying and balanced piece generation a tad. Officially a multi-year project now 😂 Also I used the pico-8 color palette in honor of the jam.

I didn't want 2025 to pass without doing a game jam, so I made a game today for #CorgiJam hosted by @finjico.bsky.social : )

My best score so far is 97. Enjoy!

I 100%-ed Order Automatica today for testing purposes and it was a wild feeling. Took me about 3 or 4 hours I think? There's some emergent gameplay that I'm really proud of and surprised by : )

what the heck man - it seems like bluesky must have a disproportionate amount of pinball heads because this was probably my most popular post ever lol

(this pinball machine was my favorite one at next level pinball museum in beaverton)
