For indie game developers
Ship your game
with confidence
A step-by-step guide and progress tracker that tells you exactly what to do next — from first build to Steam launch day.
Get Early AccessThe problem
You know how to make games.
Shipping and marketing them is a different skill.
No clear path
Steam business setup, store pages, build configs, wishlists, demos, launch timing — the process is opaque and the stakes feel high.
Easy to lose track
Dozens of tasks across months of work. Things slip through the cracks — tax forms, SDK integration, press outreach — until it's too late.
Resources everywhere
Great advice exists, but it's scattered across blogs, GDC talks, Discord servers, and Steamworks docs. Finding what you need when you need it is its own job.
The solution
ShipAGame gives you the playbook.
Prescriptive staging
You're at step X — here's step X+1. No guessing, no decision fatigue. Just the next thing to do and why it matters.
Progress tracking
See how far you've come and what's left. Every task across every phase, from pre-production through post-launch.
Resource curation
Links to the best guides, talks, and docs — surfaced at the exact moment you need them. We don't reinvent the wheel, we point you to it.
Process walkthroughs
Steamworks setup, tax paperwork, build depots, demo configuration — complex processes broken into steps a first-timer can follow.
How it works
Three steps. No complexity.

ShipAGame knows where you are in the process and shows you exactly what to tackle next.

Check things off as you go. See the full picture of what's done and what's ahead.
Who it's for
Built for small teams
shipping their first game.
Solo devs and small indie teams (1–5 people) who are building something great but don't have a dedicated producer or marketing person to manage the business side.
First-time shippers who want a clear path from "game is coming together" to "game is live on Steam and people are finding it."
Developers who'd rather spend their time making the game — not figuring out tax forms, Steamworks configs, and launch checklists from scratch.
