For game developers
Build your game with your players behind you.
Share devlogs, give supporters early builds and playtests, sync your Discord and thank them in your credits. You keep 87–91% of every payment.
Devlogs your supporters actually see
Post progress as text, screenshots, video or a quick clip from the ByUs camera, or go live while you build. Keep the big picture public and the details for members, so every update gives people a reason to join.
Early builds and demos
Upload a build as a ZIP (up to 500 MB, 10 files per download) and give it to members or sell it on its own. Supporters download it straight from their dashboard.
Playtesters with limited spots
Make an “Alpha tester” tier with a set number of spots. When it’s full, it’s full, and the page shows how many are left.
Your Discord, synced
Add the ByUs bot to your server and pick a role. Members who connect their Discord get it automatically, and it’s removed when their membership ends.
Let supporters shape the game
Add a poll to any post to let members vote on the next feature, character or level. Comments and messages keep the conversation going.
Names in the credits
Get a ready-to-paste list of supporters, by tier, for your end credits or your store page. Members choose whether they’re named.
Ideas for your tiers
Examples to get you started, not rules. Use your own names, prices and benefits.

Your first week
- Post one public devlog with a clip or screenshots so visitors see what you’re making, and one members-only post so they see what’s waiting.
- Create one tier and write a welcome note that tells new supporters what they get first.
- Put your ByUs link on your store page, your trailer, your Discord and your social bios.
- Pick a rhythm you can keep, like a devlog every other week and a new build each month.
