We, the Gamedev.js Community (led by Andrzej Mazur from Enclave Games, creator of the js13kGames competition), were wondering what tools and technologies people use to develop web games, how much do they earn, what monetization strategies are they using, and more. There was almost no up-to-date, solid data on the topic, so we decided to ask the community directly and publish the results afterwards.
The Gamedev.js Survey 2024 will open between December 1st and 22nd, but before that we want to update the answers between November 15th and 29th to have them as relevant as possible. You can help by reviewing them in the questions-2024.md file on GitHub, and sending a Pull Request with the changes.
You can check the previous years for reference: 2021, 2022, 2023.
We'll be giving away $500 total, $50 each, to 10 random participants who will submit a Pull Request before November 29th.
Join Gamedev.js Jam 2025 for Web Game Developers happening online between April 13th and 26th 2025, hosted on Itch.io. There are prizes!
If you have any questions, feedback about the survey itself, or any other inquiries, please get in touch via email. You can also follow @Gamedevjs on Twitter ⁄ X, or join our Discord server.
