IGP Developer FAQIGP Developer FAQ

IGP focuses on connecting creative games with core Chinese players. Unlike a fixed buy-to-play model, your revenue share is driven by how deeply players genuinely engage with your game.

The system evaluates active playtime, engagement depth, likes and sharing behavior, plus your game's ability to attract new users. In practice, the more players care, the more your share can grow, so short but high-quality games are not penalized for being concise.

Payouts are processed quarterly through Bank Transfer or Stripe Connect. The minimum payout threshold is $100.

Historical payout records stay available in the developer dashboard for review and reconciliation.

Yes. Even if your game is already free on Steam or itch.io, you can still earn when players generate valid playtime and engagement on IGP.

IGP acts as an additional distribution channel that turns core fan participation into extra revenue.

There is no upfront cost. IGP does not charge listing fees, monthly maintenance fees, hosting fees, or bandwidth fees.

We only make money when you do, through the revenue share.

No. IGP covers the costs tied to global distribution, so marketing, updates, and routine operational support do not become another subscription bill for developers.

IGP covers bank fees and related processing costs. Payouts run through Stripe Connect and Bank Transfer for a transparent settlement process.

If a chargeback happens, the affected revenue is deducted, but the associated bank penalties and handling fees are still covered by IGP.

No. IGP does not require exclusivity. You can keep selling or hosting your game on Steam, Epic, itch.io, or your own site at the same time.

IGP should be treated as an additional route to players and revenue, not a replacement for your existing channels.

Yes. You keep full control and can de-list your game with a 30-day notice period.

After de-listing, subscribers will no longer be able to access the game through IGP.

You retain 100% ownership of your IP and assets.

By listing on IGP, you only grant a limited license for trailers, screenshots, and the game title to be used in platform marketing and promotional materials.

Yes. IGP supports non-mainstream engines and can evaluate your project at no cost before integration starts.

If your setup is unusual, reach out to developer support and the technical team will help map the right integration path.

For Unity, Unreal, Godot, and GameMaker, IGP provides no-code plugins. A standard integration usually takes 5 to 10 minutes.

In most cases, you only need to add the script to the initial scene so DRM protection and playtime tracking can start working. Non-standard projects can still get direct technical help.

For now, you can email the updated build to the platform team and the deployment will be handled for you. Once deployed, the update takes effect immediately.

The developer dashboard is planned for July 2026. After that launch, you will be able to upload new versions directly and replace old files without disrupting players.

IGP focuses on Chinese core players who actively look for new mechanics, value creative design, and pay for high-quality content.

Developers get access to anonymized dashboard data such as player profiles, playtime distribution, and regional insights to help improve the game and its release strategy.

You can reach the platform through the general support mailbox or the developer support mailbox. Most inquiries receive a reply within 24 hours.

IGP uses multiple safeguards so only genuine play and engagement are counted toward revenue.
