CREATOR PROGRAM
Rainy Network develops and operates every system on its servers in-house. Creators working with us receive scheduled events, dedicated worlds, staff support and, where a project requires it, purpose-built development.
01What we provide
The program is built around what a video or a series actually requires: the world, the events, the engineering and the staff time.
Run to your schedule
Blood moons, meteor showers, tornadoes, KOTH rounds and music-synced concerts are server-side events. Provide your recording or streaming window and a staff member triggers them on your cue, at the point in the session you want them.
Built to your brief
New mechanics, bosses, items and event formats are written in-house, tested with you privately and released to the live server, credited to the creator who proposed them. Delivered under the terms in section 02.
Private and purpose-built
A whitelisted world for the shoot, an arena built to your specification, spectator and administrative tooling, and world restores between takes so a failed attempt costs you nothing.
On call for your session
A staff member assigned to your recording window for equipment, teleports, guest access and event triggers, with someone available to resolve issues as they occur rather than after the session.
Across our channels
The Partner role, placement of your content in our Discord, a listing in the site news feed, in-game announcements while you are live, and a tag beside your name in the player list.
For your viewers
Crate keys and rank codes for giveaways, viewer events on the live server, a clan set up for your community, and cosmetic items available only through your channel.
02Custom development
A custom build represents several weeks of engineering time, plus maintenance for as long as it remains live. It is scoped, quoted and delivered under one of two agreements, both agreed in writing before work begins.
| Term | Coverage agreement | Commission |
|---|---|---|
| Fee | Quoted, then waived in full on publication | $1,500 – $50,000, per quotation |
| Provided by the creator | One published video featuring the deliverable | Payment. No coverage or promotion required |
| Deadline | 60 days from release to the live server | Not applicable |
| Payment terms | None, provided the video is published | 50% on acceptance, 50% on delivery |
| Licence | Retained by Rainy Network. The work remains on the live server, credited to the creator | Transferred in full to the creator. Not resold or reused by Rainy Network |
| If no video is published | The quoted fee becomes payable as stated in the quotation | Not applicable |
| Typically suited to | Creators publishing regularly who want the build for a video or series | Creators and organisations requiring ownership, or no editorial obligation |
| Tier | Scope | Indicative fee |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | A single mechanic, item, boss or one-off event, built on existing infrastructure | $1,500 – $5,000 |
| Tier 2 | A minigame, event format or system affecting the whole server, including balance and testing | $5,000 – $15,000 |
| Tier 3 | A gamemode, or any work requiring dedicated servers, worlds or infrastructure to be provisioned and maintained | $15,000 – $50,000 |
Ranges are indicative. The fee for a specific project is confirmed in the written quotation and reflects scope, infrastructure requirements and delivery timeframe.
Every request for custom development is scoped and quoted in writing before work begins. The quotation states the deliverable, the fee, the delivery date and, under a coverage agreement, the publication deadline.
Work begins only once the creator has accepted the quotation in writing. A request may be withdrawn at any point before acceptance at no cost to either party.
The deliverable is tested with the creator on a private world and then released to the live server on the agreed date.
Under a coverage agreement the creator publishes one video featuring the deliverable within 60 days of its release to the live server. The video must be a public upload on the creator's primary channel in which the deliverable forms a substantive part of the content. It is unpaid, and it is neither scripted nor approved by Rainy Network; editorial control rests entirely with the creator.
On publication the quoted fee is waived in full and no invoice is issued.
Extensions to the publication deadline are granted on request, provided the request is made before the deadline expires.
Where no video has been published and no extension has been agreed, the quoted fee becomes payable and is invoiced at the amount stated in the quotation. The deliverable remains the property of Rainy Network.
A coverage agreement may be converted to a commission at any time before the publication deadline, on the terms of the original quotation.
These terms apply to custom development only. Scheduled events, dedicated worlds, staff support, giveaway keys and program roles are provided at no cost and carry no publication requirement.
03Program tiers
Applications are reviewed by the team and assigned to the tier that fits the channel or community. Media is the entry tier; Partner covers ongoing collaboration and development work.
Open to creators publishing regularly about the network, at any audience size and in any language.
For established creators and partnered communities working with us on an ongoing basis.
Consistency is weighted above audience size: a channel publishing weekly to a small audience is a stronger application than a dormant channel with a large one. We assess publishing frequency or community activity, whether the content is the applicant's own, and account standing on the network.
Applications from accounts under an active ban or blacklist are declined. Appeals are handled through Discord, and an application may be submitted once an appeal succeeds. Recording on Rainy Network does not require membership of this program; the program exists for creators who want the network to build alongside them.
04Process
Most projects move from first contact to recording within two weeks, and faster where no new development is required.
Submit the form below, apply through the creators channel on Discord, or email partner@rainymc.net. Your channel links and a description of the project are sufficient.
The team reviews the application and responds in writing, normally within a few working days. Declined applications include the reason.
A Discord thread or a short call establishes the project, its requirements and the recording date. Where custom development is required, the quotation, delivery date and publication deadline are agreed in writing at this stage, before any work is carried out.
Engineering, world setup, arena construction and event scheduling are carried out by us, followed by a private test session with the creator ahead of the recording date.
Staff are on call for the agreed window, events are triggered on your cue, guests are equipped and admitted, and backups are taken before and after the session.
The finished video is distributed through our Discord, the site and in-game announcements. Under a coverage agreement, publication settles the quotation; the deliverable remains on the live server, credited to the creator.
05Application
The form composes the application in your browser and opens it in your own email client. No data is sent from this page and nothing is stored.
06Questions
No. Scheduled events, dedicated worlds, staff support, giveaway keys and program roles are provided at no cost and require no video. The single exception is custom development, which is quoted at $1,500 to $50,000 and waived in full when the agreed video is published; the full terms are in section 02. We do not pay per video.
Because it is engineering work rather than staff time: several weeks of development, testing and balancing, followed by maintenance for as long as the feature remains on a live server. Under a coverage agreement the video is what makes that work viable, and the fee is waived in full. Where no video is published, the fee reflects the work carried out.
Request an extension before the deadline and it is granted. The invoice applies only where no video has been published and no extension was agreed. If a project is no longer viable, the agreement can be converted to a commission or the deliverable withdrawn by agreement.
No. Publishing frequency and community activity carry considerably more weight than subscriber or follower counts, and the Media tier is intended for creators who are still growing.
All of them. In-game text is in English, but content in any language is welcome, and applications are read in English and Spanish.
Every system on the network is our own code, so new mechanics, items, bosses and event formats are routine work. A complete gamemode, or anything requiring dedicated infrastructure, sits at the upper tiers and takes longer. Submit the proposal and you will receive an assessment of what is feasible, by when, and at what fee.
The concept is always credited to the creator who proposed it. Ownership of the work depends on the agreement: under a coverage agreement Rainy Network retains it and it remains on the live server for all players; under a commission the licence transfers in full to the creator, and the work is neither resold nor reused by us.
No. Anyone may record on Rainy Network and publish or monetise the result. The program exists for creators who want the network to build alongside them.
Applications are reviewed by the team and answered in writing, normally within a few working days.
