Playgama’s Web Games Industry Market Map 2026 is a great read for anyone following the web games market. We’re happy to see Defold included as part of this growing ecosystem. Web games have always been important to us, and we’re excited to keep improving Defold for developers building for the web. #MadeWithDefold #gamedev #indiedev #webgames #html5 #webgamedev

💸 Spent: $100 on AI tools 💰 Earned: $4 in game revenue The biggest lesson? AI can help you build almost anything. AI cannot make people play, share, or pay for what you build. The internet is full of "laptop WiFi AI = millionaire" stories, but the fine print matters: • Building is one skill • Distribution is another • Monetization is another Creating products has never been easier. Getting users and generating revenue is still the hard part. Still, I wouldn't trade these 2 months for anything. I've shipped 4 games, have 2 more coming soon, and learned more about AI, game development, and product distribution than ever before. Back to building. 🚀 #indiegamedev #gamedev #html5gamedev #webgamedev #ai #chatgpt #claude #gemini #buildinpublic #indiehacker #gamedevelopment #startup #playgama #solodev #madewithai

News of the year!!! @Poki just added CCU for games. So now you can see real numbers! That is the best decision to share stats publicly. Truly OPEN WEB!!! For example, this is Wes's @devortel game on poki Vortella's Dress Up having 10k CCU @webgamedb something should be wired up on your side😉 RT if you like this feature! #poki #webgamedev

New version was uploaded. What’s changed: - max speed limit - wheel tracks - trunk visualization - simple navigation system - load/unload animation Now I get more long sessions (3 mins) Next tasks: - vfx for vehicles - some obstacles - better models for cargo - SFX Rally want to create a procedural engine sound system but I’ve never worked with that before. Something new and exciting!!! #indiedev #webgamedev #roadto10kMMR

I just added wheel tracks. I know I know... this is just "shiny" thing, but it was 1 prompt and 2 fixes. Decided to use a single mesh preallocated buffers for vertices. Should be enough for ~50 vehicles. #indiedev #webgamedev

Just got a soft launch on @Poki for my Make Brainrots Online. Before Poki, the game reached: - avg playtime ~10 mins - $1 000 - ecpm ~$0.4 I spent 2 months going from a concept on Construct 3 to a polished multiplayer game on pixi. IFAIK this is the first game on Poki with @bunjavascript backend on the server side) Also thank you @PixiJS for such a great library! @Cloudflare @ContaboCom @cursor_ai = 🍬 Check it out poki.com/en/g/make-brainrots… #webgamedev #indie #firstmmo

✨ #Phaser 4 just made 2D lighting ridiculously easy. One line of code. Self-shadows from your own texture. Works on every single game object. No more pipeline juggling. Just sprite.setLighting(true) and you're done 🔦 Full breakdown 👇 f.mtr.cool/gkmajpofgi #Phaser4 #GameDev #HTML5Games #WebGameDev #indiedev

Truck Simulator RP Online! I've just replaced Jolt with @isaac_mason_ 's crashcat and it is 🔥 -500% in size... Also decided to move on with @babylonjs instead of three.

Thinking about migrating your #Phaser 3 game to Phaser 4? 🤓💡 For most games using standard Phaser objects, it's probably just a few hours of work.
