Introducing Summer Engine (YC F26). Summer makes it easy for everyone to make and play games together! You ask for the game you want. Summer builds it, and you play it with your friends. Last Christmas I tried to make a game with AI. The game looked great. But, then I wanted real multiplayer, analytics and monetization, and it became a huge pain! And don't get me started on publishing. A year later it is still the same for most people. The games look much better, but you still get stuck with a prototype. So we fixed it. Today, tens of thousands of creators from all over the world have built games on Summer. The community has made more than 240,000 assets that every user can build with, making it one of the biggest free asset libraries in the world. You own the game you make on Summer. You can sell it and publish it on Steam, Web, iOS, Android, and on Summer Games. Making games should be as fun as playing them.
