Founder Stage Calculator

​Not everyone building games is at the same stage.

And pretending they are is exactly why most people get stuck.

​

This tool maps your current reality as a founder across 10 simple questions and shows you exactly where you sit on the indie journey.

​

No fluff.

No motivation talk.

​

Once you know your stage, you’ll know your next move:

​

  • where to learn

  • what to build next

  • how to connect with other devs

  • and when you’re ready for structured support through GDHQ​

​

It only takes about a minute.​

But it might completely reframe how you’re building.
