05The builder
Who you’re backing
A note from Dude.Work
“We make fast, loud games you can open in a browser tab and play with a friend in ten seconds.
Every game here was playable before we asked for a cent, and every dollar we raise goes into more of the game you already played. If we miss a deadline, you vote on what happens next. We like it that way.
The Brightwater was meant to be a weekend jam. It has been two years, and we are not done.”
