Game storefronts

Give every game a real landing page

Each title can have cover art, hero art, screenshots, a trailer, genres, tags, developer website links, support links, and downloadable builds.

Windows delivery

Offer the delivery path that fits the game

Players can discover, claim, or purchase a game on neonroof.com. Approved listings can support direct downloads or browser play, while NeonRoof for Windows provides managed library access, installation, updates, and launching for supported builds.

Flexible hosting

Use your own bucket for free, or NeonRoof hosting as backup

Developer-owned buckets, protected delivery APIs, and public URLs are free. Optional NeonRoof hosting includes 100 GB per game for $50/year. Available provider capacity is shared across paid plans instead of buying empty storage for every studio, and the next year is free when that game earns $1,000+ in completed USD sales.

Developer payouts

Stripe handles bank and debit payout setup

Developers complete Stripe-hosted onboarding on the web for legal, tax, ownership, and payout details. NeonRoof stores the connected-account status, not bank account or routing numbers.

Open secure developer payout setup
Optional resale roadmap

Developers decide whether a game can enter the used market

NeonRoof is planning player-to-player transfers for eligible digital game licenses. Participation will be title-specific, publisher-controlled, and disabled unless the developer explicitly opts in.

Linux roadmap

Prepare storefronts for Linux-ready builds

The upcoming NeonRoof Linux work is planned to distinguish native builds from validated compatibility paths and give participating developers space for requirements, support links, and platform notes.

Publishing process

How selling a game on NeonRoof works

1. Create a NeonRoof account

Create and verify the developer account on the website. The same account signs in to the Windows launcher.

2. Submit the game and KYC on the web

Use the assisted path to provide the build, contact information, required artwork, publishing authority, and protected identity documents.

3. Complete secure Stripe onboarding

Stripe collects the country-specific legal, tax, ownership, and bank details needed to route the developer share.

4. Choose your delivery path

Use your own protected bucket or delivery API for free, use a public URL at your own risk, or activate optional NeonRoof hosted storage for managed build hosting.

5. Save and validate the draft

NeonRoof checks required cover and banner art, package format, protected credentials, and signed-link configuration before the title goes live.

6. Publish everywhere

Put the title online once. The same catalog entry appears on the website and in the Windows platform.

Indie game store

A web game store built for discoverable PC games

Each public game page shows the developer, genre, screenshots, trailers, price, acquisition details, and Windows install requirements so players know exactly what they are getting.

Free, paid, open-source, multiplayer, and experimental PC games are welcome. Start with a storefront page and add builds or community features when you need them.

Ready to list a game?

Create the developer account, submit the game and KYC, and connect Stripe payouts entirely on the web. The Windows launcher remains available as an optional Game Studio workspace.

Developer questions

Publishing and delivery answers

Can developers sell paid games on NeonRoof?

Yes. Approved developers can publish paid games after completing the required identity and Stripe payout onboarding. NeonRoof currently uses a 10 percent platform fee for paid game sales.

Do players need NeonRoof for Windows to download purchased games?

Not always. Developers can provide an approved direct-download or browser-play option. NeonRoof for Windows remains the recommended path for supported games because it can manage library access, installation, updates, and launch support.

Can developers upload builds directly into NeonRoof storage?

Yes. Optional NeonRoof hosted storage includes 100 GB per game for $50 per year, with the next year waived when the game earns at least $1,000 in completed USD sales. Developers can also use their own protected bucket or delivery API for free.
