DoodleMeeple platform removes commission fees and becomes free to use
DoodleMeeple, a board game industry networking platform, has removed its commission fees giving free accounts and networking capabilities to all users.
The platform is now funded through completely optional donations via the Patreon platform.
With an account on DoodleMeeple, publishers can connect with a wide range of talent, spanning artists, sculptors and graphic designers, to rules editors, playtesters and game developers.
Registering for the platform can be done as either a Creative (for professionals like artists, content creators, world builders or playtesters), a Creator (for publishers or game developers), or both if you’re looking to make your own projects and simultaneously find work on the projects of other Creators.
Once registered, Creatives can design a brief and select a handful of Creatives they want to apply to work on it.
