Good work has more to give
The store listing isn’t the whole story.
Your systems, tools and development decisions are part of what you made. We look beyond whether the game is still selling.
The work behind the play
Game logic, original tools, documentation and development history help tell the story of the project.
Terms that fit your next move
We can explore a purchase or a licence for selected materials. Keeping your game on sale may be possible under agreed licensing terms.
A good place to start
Sounds like
your kind of work?
Tell us the engine, where the game got to, and whether you still have its source project.

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.

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.
Do you buy second-hand discs, keys or game accounts?
No. This is for people and studios who made a game and can offer rights to its code or development materials. We do not buy retail game copies, keys or player accounts.
Can the game stay on Steam, itch.io or an app store?
Potentially. A scoped licence can allow you to retain ownership and continue distribution. Any restrictions or retained rights must be agreed in writing; they depend on the arrangement.
What if a publisher or other team members were involved?
Let us know at the start. We need to understand who controls the relevant rights before an offer or handover can proceed.
