Open-source storefront guide

Give the official project a trustworthy player-facing home

An open-source listing should point to the official project, identify the license, credit the developers and artwork correctly, and use the project's authorized distribution source. The NeonRoof page can make installation approachable without implying ownership or endorsement.

Search and discovery

Connect players, contributors, and maintainers

Include the repository, issue tracker, documentation, community, release channel, and contribution guidance where available. Players searching for a free open-source game often also want to know whether the project is active and how to help.

Release checklist

Prepare a stronger Open-source listing

  • Link the official website, repository, releases, and documentation
  • Identify code, media, music, font, and artwork licenses separately
  • Use only authorized screenshots, logos, and promotional art
  • Describe the maintained Windows build and its installation path
  • Credit the project and avoid implying developer endorsement
Built for Open-source releases

A real search result for your game and your studio

NeonRoof creates a permanent public game page with descriptive copy, canonical metadata, Open Graph and X cards, structured data, screenshots, a trailer, system requirements, support links, and clear download or purchase details.

Your studio also receives a public developer page that can collect its biography, website, social links, released games, future releases, game artwork, and related NeonRoof News coverage.

Identity review

Prepare the listing while KYC is reviewed

Verified developer accounts can prepare titles while publisher identity review continues. Publishing unlocks after the required identity checks are approved, and paid sales also require Stripe payout readiness.

That keeps the release moving without pretending payment compliance is optional.

No-hassle option

Send the build and art. We will assemble the listing.

If the publishing tools get in the way, submit the binary, cover art, banner, up to seven gameplay images, YouTube trailer, contact details, and KYC information. NeonRoof will publish the catalog entry for free and email you when it is live.
