The vision

One platform for creator worlds. Every format, one audience.

RUN is building the multimodal home for creators across chat, interactive fiction, video, and games. For the first time, one creator can build across all of them, carry a world from a story into a video into a game, and engage and monetize an audience that spans every format.

Earn on RUN

The upside is real, and it grows with you.

This is a performance partnership, not a grant. You publish into a platform that already has players, so you're not starting from zero, and the better your content does, the more RUN puts behind you, in credits, in revenue share, and in real ad dollars.

70%
Revenue share

Of the RUN Bits people spend unlocking your content. 80% for founders. The same split across games, IF, and video.

$100$500
RUN credits

For AI generation and marketing. A $100 grant at entry, scaling to ~$500 a month at the top tier.

UA
Paid growth, on us

Hit the benchmarks and RUN spends real ad dollars behind your content. You don't pay to find your audience.

$2,500
Jam prize pools

Regular creator jams with cash on the line, plus referral bonuses for bringing other strong creators in.

RUN credits have no cash value and can't be redeemed for cash. Credit grants carry a 90-day expiry. Cash prizes and bonuses are open to US residents only. Earning perks are verified monthly against tier requirements.

How you get paid

One economy, every format.

Whether you make games, short-form video, or interactive fiction, you're one creator with one balance and one monthly payout. The account you sign in with is the account that gets paid.

Your split

70%, or 80% as a Founder.

You earn 70% of the RUN Bits players spend on your content. Founders earn 80%. That rate is the same in every format and doesn't change with your program tier.

Tiers unlock credits, featuring, and promotion, not a bigger cut.

What you earn on

You earn your share whenever a player spends RUN Bits on something you made.

RUN Bits is the platform currency — players buy them once, then spend them across every game, story, and video on RUN.
Games
The RUN Bits players spend inside your game.
A share of the ad revenue your game generates.
Video & Interactive Fiction
1Your first episodes are free to pull people in.
2After the free block, the next episodes unlock with RUN Bits, shared revenue.
3IF onlyPremium choices: a branch a player pays RUN Bits to take. Every one bought counts too.

More RUN Bits spent on your work means a bigger payout.

How the payout works

Monthly
One statement, every month.

Earnings settle once a month into a single statement across everything you publish: games, video, and IF together.

One balance, one payout
Set up once, cash out on time.

Everything pays into the same place. Set up payouts once through Tipalti and cash out when you clear the minimum. Anything under the threshold carries to next month.
