Today, independent game developer Glass Bottom Games revealed that Skatebird has become profitable.
In a twitter thread, studio founder and lead developer of the game Megan Fox discussed the games costs and finances.
Fox said that the skateboarding game had a budget of $201,000.
Fox further explained that the funds for the game werent available to the studio at the beginning of its three-year development cycle.
Funding was raised over the years from pre-sales on Kickstarter, platform advances, Patreon, and Foxs personal savings.
"Im not sitting on some huge money pile right now, but we also made the game without that all being an advance that we had to pay back to the publisher/etc," said Fox.
In a 2019 interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Fox discussed the games initial announcement during an E3 showcase, and called Skatebird "the biggest swing [she] has ever done."
