Hi everyone,
It’s Marcos, the Marketing Lead at GDevelop. I’m really happy to see you’re excited about this new venture!
First off, to make it super clear: the free offering is not getting reduced in any way with the launch of this initiative. What you were able to do with GDevelop for free yesterday, you can do today.
The thinking behind this initiative is that we have amazing creators within the community that perhaps don’t have the bandwidth, expertise or desire to delve into other parts of game development, like promotion and marketing.
And therefore, a lot of games that could make players super happy aren’t getting that many eyes on them.
We want to create a platform that allows people to make games, yes (and I think that’s been quite successful already). But we also want to help them beyond that, to get (and retain) an audience for their game, and for future games.
We’re monitoring this thread and we’re hoping to answer questions that have not yet been addressed in the documentation, so that everyone has access to them.
We’re rolling out this initiative in steps, monitoring things like performance, compliance with ToS and such things very closely. We’re putting systems in place to prevent things like cheating by just reloading the game over and over.
Your concerns are valid, and hopefully, over time, together we can create an additional offering on top of everything you’ve loved so far about GDevelop. Something that will help you get your game seen and played more than ever before.
Please, continue providing feedback! We’re always keeping an eye out to see what the community thinks of what we put out.

2D Spine, and more!”
