They/Them

Game Dev working tirelessly on their own Studio @patounesgames.bsky.social and its first game ! (For the last three years help 🫠 )
I will keep that in mind. We will expand the team in the future on several positions!
Do keep an eye on @patounesgames.bsky.social (when we'll finally get our access back 🫠) for future news and opportunities!

4/4 to conclude on the financial side: we spent the last 3 years developing our game without ANY funding. It was tough, and we had to slow the development several times with the lack of funds.
If your project has a playable demo, I highly suggest a crowfunding, as we'll very likely do our own, too!

3/ The last part is what I consider the most important; We tried to start things on our own, without any help, and failed MISERABLY!
So surround yourself with people who are willing to help, AND who know about game dev and its process. It will save you time and motivation!

2/ But we are lucky enough to have access to public funds, reserved for game development, either predev or full development until we publish our game. We also reached out to specialized organizations to help us deal with banks, other financial helps or all the administrative stuff!

1/ We are 3 (for now)! We met during our studies & graduated together during the COVID pandemic AKA tough period for job opportunities... We stuck together ever since !

Fundings, that's a tough subject, we are still trying to figure things out, as several banks denied us financial aids

It would be a pleasure to share any type of information and advice! We are still piecing things together ourselves, though we'll give away anything that could help pave the ways for other future indie dev

I won't lie, it was not easy and thoughts of giving up crossed my mind several times during tough times, but the joy of finally be able to achieve it, after all this time 100% makes up for it !
