About DevShare Games
DevShare Games was created by developers who wanted a better way to build games together.
Too often, talented people are asked to pour time and passion into projects without clear expectations, ownership, or follow-through. We wanted to build something different — a place where contributors know what they’re working toward and how their efforts connect to the final result.
DevShare Games brings small teams together to build real games, ship them, and share in their success.
Our Philosophy
We believe great games come from:
Small, focused teams
Clear expectations
Mutual respect for time and effort
Everyone contributes differently, and every contribution matters. Instead of vague promises or informal arrangements, we use a transparent system that tracks completed work and rewards contributors if a project succeeds.
How Contribution Works
Each project is built by a small internal team, typically capped at five contributors.
Before work begins, contributors agree on what they’re taking on and what portion of project revenue that work represents. Once the work is completed and accepted, that share is locked in.
If the game earns revenue, contributors participate in that success.
Compensation & Revenue Sharing
DevShare Games uses a revenue participation model, not traditional employment or equity.
Contributors earn a percentage of project revenue based on completed work.
Publisher costs are recovered first.
Payouts are calculated and distributed quarterly when revenue is available.
If a project does not generate revenue, there is no payment obligation — but contributors are never asked to pay to participate.
Ownership & Credit
DevShare Games owns the intellectual property for its projects so they can be published, supported, and protected long-term.
Contributors are credited for their work and may showcase released projects in their personal portfolios, with proper attribution.
Who This Is For
DevShare Games is a good fit for developers who:
Want to build real, shippable games
Prefer small, focused teams
Are comfortable with revenue-based compensation
Value clarity over hype
It may not be a fit for those looking for guaranteed pay, equity ownership, or traditional studio employment.
A Final Note
All contributors participate on a project basis under written agreements that define expectations, rights, and revenue participation. These agreements exist to protect everyone involved and keep projects moving forward.
