Is it possible to make money by selling Godot game templates? (lemmy.ml)

Me & my friends are pretty much good at making games, however, we do not have the time to make full-fledged game let alone afford all the marketing and fees.

So, we thought instead we can make small sized game templates and sell them online.

This was inspired by GDevelop game examples and someone I met who happened to create templates there.

But GDevelop is pretty limited in terms of features and we already love what Godot offers.

However, we could not find any online store that is similar to the link above.

I think Itch could be an option but I am not sure how people are willing to shop there for game templates.

Are there any options that are perfect for sharing Godot game templates? or it is better to ride GDevelop wave?

I sometimes develop games and applications through Unity, and in the integrated Unity Asset Store there are plenty of people selling templates and frameworks to start on, so I do believe there's a market for it.

On itch.io I've bought a few asset packs with sprites and sounds. I'm guessing there are also game templates, although I have never looked for them.

I've mostly bought stuff when they're part of a Bundle, so I would look into that to increase the perceived "value".
