Become A Creator!
Find new audiences and drive sales
As designers, we do this because we love it. For most creators, knowing that people are finding, playing, and enjoying their games is priceless. But games are also a business, and the creators of beloved gaming content should be compensated for their ideas and hard work.
The Codex is designed and built to be an entry point for new audiences to find and engage with the work of indie creators. But it is more than that. It is the perfect jumping-off point for those same audiences to follow creators they love and purchase their physical and digital products via the creators’ own channels. Think of it like a search engine and a bookstore, where potential customers can find great indie titles, experience those games directly, and then make an informed decision to buy the games they love most.
As we grow, so will you
We believe that indie game designers and publishers should see the financial gains of having more eyes on their work. After all, this is a business, and we want it to be a stable and lucrative one for everyone involved. That’s why, once we’re through our beta phase, we intend to share a large portion of the revenue from The Codex with the people who are providing the content.
This business is a bit of an experiment. We cannot say for certain quite yet what that revenue split will be, since we haven’t quite pinned down our revenue and costs. Once we have some data from our beta period, we’ll be able to start sharing the wealth among our community of creators. Better yet, those creators will help us determine the calculation methods that we’ll use to pay everyone.
