Question 1

Will the game actually work, or just look like it works?

Accepted Answer

Actually work. Every game runs through a validation pipeline: the TypeScript compiler checks for errors, and if anything fails, a recovery agent fixes them automatically. If it doesn't compile, we don't call it done.

Question 2

Do I need to know how to code?

Accepted Answer

Nope. But the more clearly you describe what you want, the better the result. Think of it like briefing a designer: 'a trivia game about space with a leaderboard and timer' works great. 'Make me something cool' works less great.

Question 3

How is this different from Bolt, Lovable, or Rosebud?

Accepted Answer

Bolt and Lovable are great for developers building web apps. Rosebud generates games but doesn't help you monetize them. Makermint is building the full loop: describe, build, publish, and soon - earn. One platform, no stitching tools together.

Question 4

What can Makermint actually build?

Accepted Answer

Browser games (arcade, puzzle, trivia, platformers), interactive tools, dashboards, quiz apps, and single-purpose web apps. It won't give you a GTA 6 - but honestly, neither will Rockstar anytime soon. When in doubt, just describe it and see what happens.

Question 5

How fast is it?

Accepted Answer

Most games and apps are ready in 2-8 minutes depending on complexity. A simple quiz game might take 3 minutes. A multi-level platformer with leaderboards might take 8.

Question 6

How does pricing work? Is it really free?

Accepted Answer

Right now, yes. Makermint is in early access and every creator gets free monthly credits. Each creation uses credits. Early access creators get grandfathered into the best rates when paid plans launch.

Question 7

How do I earn money from my creations?

Accepted Answer

Monetization is coming soon. We're building built-in ads, direct purchases, and creator tipping so you can earn from your published games without setting up ad accounts or writing a line of code. Early access creators will be first in line.

Question 8

I've been burned by AI tools before. What's different?

Accepted Answer

Makermint generates real, readable source code. When you iterate, the AI works with your existing project - it doesn't start over. Every edit runs through the same validation pipeline. Your project doesn't expire, degrade, or forget.

Question 9

Is this for developers or non-developers?

Accepted Answer

Both. Non-developers use it to create things they couldn't create alone. Developers use it to prototype and ship 10x faster. If you've ever described a game idea and wished you could just play it, you're exactly who this is for.
