Game Dev Fort - Closing

[Lunarea]

As some of you know, we've been running our Game Dev Fort (https://gamedevfort.com/store) site to introduce resource packs to developers who are not using RPG Maker. While there were some benefits to having a new home for non-RM resources – especially when it comes to keeping track of licenses – the upkeep and maintenance of a separate site has been a challenge for our small team. This resulted in the store appearing to be abandoned, which is not the impression we want to give our customers and fans.


Game Dev Fort was also our base of operations for the Indie Game Contest, including a discourse forum where users shared feedback on their contest entries. Though the contest is currently on hiatus, we hope to be able to introduce it again in the future – complete with a new and improved event area.


In two weeks, we will be shutting down the Game Dev Fort site. We ask that you back up any purchases and/or discussions you would like to keep during this time. Once Game Dev Fort has closed, we will begin to migrate the products to a special Non-RM section of the RPG Maker Web store. This process may take some time, as it's not an automated task. But with it, we hope to provide a larger selection of non-RPG Maker licenses, as well as better sales and technical support.


Please feel free to share any questions or concerns you have about this decision, as well as any suggestions of what you'd like to see in the new Non-RM section!

That makes sense. Good luck, and I hope everything goes smoothly!

Thanks to warn us about it!  Well, it makes sense!  Hopefully, folks only wanting to use the non-RM products will start to see the kind folks we are here and maybe venture in RM developments as well.

Well it's sad to see it closing but yeah, it's too much to have two stores, communities and who knows what else at the same time.


I hope GDF users find this place as welcoming as a home as GDF was for them. The main thing we gamedevs need is unity. Or something like that.

@ArcheiaI just realized because I got really few of the 2014 subs   (Well that and my provider starts to charge if I DL too many gigs and well... it is hard to try to make good $ ever since some invasion here.   )
