How to Make Money with AI: Make & Sell Games

Step-by-step: from idea to income

1) Make a tiny game and Make money with AI (this week)

You can start create your game via the homepage of Rosebud AI

Open Rosebud, describe your game (e.g; “cozy farming mini-sim with day/night cycle”), and play the first version in your browser within minutes. Iterate by asking the AI to add levels, scoring, or NPCs, no heavy installs. Rosebud leans on modern web tech (WebGL/WebGPU) so what you build runs anywhere a browser does.

2) Pick how you’ll sell it

Steam (desktop store): Great for PC players and wishlists.
Web (itch.io, your site): Fastest way to share and charge for access.
Classroom/communities: Bundle as a learning game, sell lesson packs or licenses.
On Rosebud’s site you’ll find success stories of creators going from prototype to Steam launch, showing the pathway is real. lab.rosebud.ai

3) Ship and sale it on Steam(quickstart)

Steam is a great place to start monetizing your games

‍

Rosebud games are browser-native (JavaScript/Three.js/Phaser). To sell on Steam, the common approach is to wrap your web game as a desktop app (Windows/macOS/Linux) using a packager like Electron (or Tauri), then upload the builds via Steamworks:

Wrap your game with Electron into .exe/.app.
Set up your Steamworks app page, pricing, and depots.
Upload builds, add screenshots/trailer, request review, launch.
A practical walkthrough for publishing HTML5/web games on Steam with Electron is here. phaser.io

Note: Rosebud’s pages explicitly say you can publish on any platform and keep 100% of earnings on paid plans, and the blog highlights Steam launch success—use those as reassurance for readers evaluating the path.

Simple monetization ideas (pick one and move)

$4.99 one-time on Steam: Short, polished, replayable.
Web access pass on itch.io: Gate your URL, ship updates weekly.
DLC/asset packs: Sell skins, levels, or sprite sheets you made with Rosebud.
Education license: Position your game as a class activity (STEM/logic). Rosebud has a dedicated education track that fits this angle. Rosebud AI
