Build your game dev tech tree, one guide at a time
Plendarixar is a set of ten focused PDF guides that take you from your first prototype to a finished, published game — each one a node in a single connected curriculum.
A small studio writing the guides we wish we'd had
Plendarixar is run by a small team of game developers who got tired of scattered tutorials that never quite added up to a finished game. We write structured PDF guides instead, each one covering a single part of the development pipeline in enough depth to actually use.
We build every guide around real projects we've shipped or supported, not generic advice. When a technique didn't work for us, we leave it out rather than pad the page count.
The ten guides in our catalog are designed to connect to each other, so studying them in order builds a complete, practical picture of how a game gets made.
We keep our descriptions plain: what's in the guide, who it's for, and what it won't cover. No countdowns, no guaranteed outcomes.
More about Plendarixar
Make the game development pipeline learnable in order
Most developers don't fail from a lack of tutorials — they fail from not knowing which one to read next. Our mission is to remove that guesswork.
We map every guide to a specific stage of production and describe honestly what it will and won't teach you. We measure success by whether a guide gets used and finished, not by how it's marketed. And we keep building new nodes for the tree as the pipeline itself keeps changing.
Ten guides, one connected pipeline
From your very first prototype to a store launch — pick a single guide or follow the full tree.
What makes these guides different
Written by working developers
Every guide is written from real shipped-project experience, not recycled tutorials or theory pulled from a textbook.
Structured like a tech tree
Each guide is a node in a single connected curriculum, so you always know what to study next and why it matters.
Instant, offline-ready delivery
Every guide is a downloadable PDF you can keep and study without a connection once it's on your device.
Honest, specific descriptions
No promises of guaranteed results or income — just an accurate account of what each guide covers.
Frequently asked
Every guide is delivered as a downloadable PDF. There's no video or app to sign into — open the file on any device and read it at your own pace.
