Which applies to you?

Build models

Spark, Forge and Genesis build the same game from your idea, with different thoroughness. The credit factor applies to the base price from size and game type. Spark is the default and the cheapest.

Example prices · Endless Runner, no extras

Example calculation

Endless Runner, size Small, no extras. Base price 100 credits.

  • Spark: 100 × 1 = 100 credits
  • Forge: 100 × 1.6 = 160 credits
  • Genesis: 100 × 3 = 300 credits

Prices are rounded to 5 credits; the line shows the working, the total comes from the price calculator.

Genesis includes polish; with the other models it costs 60 credits extra.

World projects and Epic run on Forge (factor 1, the catalogue price) or Genesis (factor 1.8). Spark is not offered for them.

We check every game automatically, but mistakes can’t be ruled out. If a build fails technically, the credits reserved for it are credited back.

With the Starter plan you can set a play-time price for your game and receive a share as a possible bonus when others play it. The bonus is not guaranteed and depends solely on the time played. Payout from €25: in the start phase by hand after the monthly close, by bank transfer and after identity and tax details.

What does a game cost?

Changes by chat

In the studio you describe what should change. You see the price first; if the AI doesn’t understand the request, it costs nothing.

1 credits

Small change

Adjust the title, texts, names or colours.

8 credits

Typical change

More speed, a different difficulty, a shield or double jump.

25 credits

Big change

New levels, quiz questions or a rewritten story.

Credits back after a technical failure

When a build starts, we only reserve your credits. If a build fails technically, the credits reserved for it are credited back, automatically and without a claim. A game that was built and delivered is not refunded. If an add-on (for example a language or the polish pass) isn’t delivered, we credit back the credits for it.

Every refund shows up in your credit history. There’s no refund for a game that was built successfully; changes by chat cost from 1 credit.

Questions before you buy

The most common concerns – answered honestly.

What if I don’t like the game?

Change it by chat: small changes from 1 credit, and you see the price first. If the AI doesn’t understand a request, it costs nothing. If a build fails, you get all your credits back. There’s no refund for a game that was built successfully.

Are there hidden costs?

No. Every game has a price in credits that you see before building, and extras are listed one by one. Consumer prices include VAT.

Do my credits expire?

Credits from packs and gift cards are valid for 3 years. Plan credits are for the month they arrive in; from Creator up, unused credits carry over for one more month.

Can I cancel at any time?

Monthly plans end at the end of the month, yearly plans at the end of the 12 months – online, even without logging in, with instant confirmation. Your games stay in your account.

Is the yearly plan worth it?

If you’re sure you’ll build regularly: you pay for 10 months and get 12, paid upfront. If you’re not sure, start monthly.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You pick a genre, size and style and describe your idea in a few sentences. The AI builds the game from that.

Can I use my games commercially?

Yes, from the Creator plan, including HTML5 export. On Free and Starter, your games are for personal use.

All prices in euros. Consumer prices include 19% VAT, the Business plan is plus VAT. Our terms and conditions apply (English version binding, provisional draft); information on your right of withdrawal is in the withdrawal policy. You can cancel plans at any time via Verträge hier kündigen (Cancel contracts here).
