What is iGames?

iGames - General Overview

Designed for the Hobbyist, Not the Professional. Imagine a more capable 'Map Editor' like the ones you’ve seen in some of your favorite games.

Utilize tools similar to those that birthed an entire genre, such as 'Defense of the Ancients' from WarCraft III's editor.

Combine creation editors and publishing automation with additional tools, services, and integrated payment systems, enabling players to become creators and earn the majority of any revenue generated from their work and vision.

Heroes of Newerth: Reborn was developed using these very tools and systems. Expect a soft release of the Studio Suite (creation editors) along with many other iGames Platform systems shortly after the release of HoNR.

iGames was created alongside Heroes of Newerth: Reborn by the same passionate team committed to revitalizing HoN for its players.

With a mission to foster a thriving ecosystem, the team has developed a platform where individuals can create, fund, and profit from their passion. Whether through game development, tournament participation or direction, or marketplace transactions, iGames ensures that creativity and effort is rewarded.

iGames is built to empower anyone to become a Game Creator. The engine is built for ease of use, so Players or Hobbyists are able to create a quality game rather than just professionals.

At iGames, we believe that many gamers dream of creating their own games and building a career in the game industry. iGames offers an accessible yet powerful suite of tools that make it easy for players to seamlessly transition into creators.

With access to our robust economic and payment processing platform, fully integrated into every project, hobbyists and creators alike have the potential to earn without limits. We share the majority of the revenue generated from games published on the platform directly with their creators, fostering a thriving community of innovative game makers.
