For makers with something else on the go

Moved on from it? Your side project hasn’t lost its story.

That weekend build could be worth more than a folder on your laptop.

A SIMPLE HELLOAbout 20 seconds

Where can we say g’day?

Leave your name and email and we’ll get in touch. You can tell us about your project next, if you like.

Goodwattle reviews apps, scripts and tools their makers are ready to sell or license. Start with what you built, even if you never turned it into a business.

Good work has more to give

You built something. That’s a place to start.

A focused tool can solve a real problem without a pitch deck, customer list or full-time team behind it.

01

Small is welcome

A useful script, plugin, experiment or small app is worth describing. Scope and fit matter more than a big introduction.

02

No business sale to organise

The starting point is the software and project materials you own. You don’t need an operating company to enquire.

03

Room for the next idea

Explore whether a purchase or licence makes sense for work you are no longer actively developing.

A good place to start

Sounds like
your kind of work?

Tell us what sparked the idea, what the software does and how far you got.

  • An original app, script, plugin or tool
  • A specific problem it solves or idea it explores
  • Work you have the right to sell or license

Your name and email are plenty to start. Add project details if you like, or talk it through with us later. Please leave out private code, passwords and personal data.

Tell us what you’ve got

A little look. A clear next step.

From old work
to a new conversation.

  1. 1

    Say g’day

    Leave your name, email and an optional phone number. We save your enquiry straight away; project details and a small sample can follow if you like.

  2. 2

    Explore the fit

    A real person reviews your overview. We discuss the opportunity and arrange confidentiality before a detailed review.

  3. 3

    Consider an offer

    If there’s a fit, we put the scope, rights, intended uses and payment in writing. You decide whether to proceed.

A purchase. A licence. A possibility.

A purchase can transfer agreed rights. A licence can let you keep ownership while permitting specific uses, including AI research, training or evaluation. We can discuss a fixed payment, revenue share or ongoing arrangement where suitable. Nothing is sold or licensed by sending an enquiry.

A LITTLE CLARITY

Good questions.
Honest answers.

Your work. Your next chapter.
Let’s make the possibilities clear.

What kinds of projects are you looking for?

Anything from full games and prototypes to gameplay systems, shaders, animations, tools and plugins. We work with Unity, Unreal, Godot, Blender, Rust, TypeScript and more.

How much can I get paid?

Smaller projects can range from A$200 to A$10,000. Substantial company-owned codebases can be worth A$60,000 or more. Value depends on complexity, quality, contents, rights and fit. Every project is evaluated individually; these figures are possibilities, not guaranteed offers.

Does my project need to be finished?

No! We consider finished games, unfinished projects, game jams, university assignments, prototypes and work-in-progress builds.

What will my projects be used for?

Your code and project files may be used to train code-generation models that help developers with time-consuming tasks like shaders, animations, gameplay mechanics and other technical workflows, so more time can be spent on the creative work.

Do I have to give up ownership of my game?

No! We offer licensing arrangements where you can retain commercial rights and continue developing, publishing and selling your game. Outright purchases are also possible, with rights agreed separately.

Can I keep working on my game?

Yes, under suitable licensing arrangements. You can continue building and commercialising your game while licensing your existing work to Goodwattle.

How do I get started?

Share a brief description of your project, its tech stack, and ideally a GitHub link or demo. We’ll take a look and discuss what it might be worth.

Does it need recurring revenue?

No revenue is needed to submit an enquiry. We assess whether the underlying software and materials fit an opportunity; we do not guarantee that every project will receive an offer.

Can I offer a small script?

Yes. Describe what it does and why it is useful. A focused project may be worth reviewing, depending on its quality, originality, rights and fit.

What if I built it while employed elsewhere?

Check your agreements and tell us about any possible employer or client rights. Only offer work you have authority to sell or license.
