For accelerators
Your portfolio projects finish.
Your cohort devs hit the same wall: the animation pipeline. OrbAnim is the direct answer. Your completion rate becomes your proof point.
Partner Program
Become a Founding Partner.
The Founding Partner Cohort is open to gaming accelerators, media owners, and community leaders. Partners earn 20% recurring revenue for six months on every developer onboarded through their network. Selective by design — not an open affiliate program.
Why founding partners matter.
For media and content creators
Your audience hasn't seen this demo.
Orb Forge acts inside the running game with full scene context and session memory. That's a story your audience hasn't seen.
For community leaders
More of the right people actually finish what they start.
Maniacs Engine++ removes production blockers that have nothing to do with ability. More of the right people actually finish what they start.
How the cohort works.
Application
Submit the form below. Four fields: who you are, your email, your primary distribution channel, your aggregate reach. We read every application.
Evaluation
We review for channel fit and ideal customer profile overlap: solo developers and micro-studios building systemic games.
Activation
Approved partners receive a unique referral link, asset kit, and direct line to the founding team. No account manager.
Growth
20% recurring revenue for six months per paying developer referred. Tracked. Paid monthly. As the Orb Crew ships, your audience gets closer to shipping.
Frequently asked.
What is Maniacs Engine++?
An AI-native game engine where seven autonomous agents — the Orb Crew — execute production work inside the running game. The developer stays creative director. See the About page for team and background.
Who is in the Orb Crew?
Seven autonomous agents that live inside the engine's ECS: Orb Forge, OrbArt, OrbFlow, OrbCode, OrbAnim, OrbAudio, and OrbQA. Together they execute animation, systems, levels, audio, and QA alongside solo developers and micro-studios.
Who qualifies for the Founding Partner Cohort?
Gaming accelerators, media owners, and community leaders with a documented audience of game developers — specifically solo developers and micro-studios building systemic games. Eligibility requires genuine audience overlap with our ICP and a channel you actively operate. This is not an open affiliate program.
Why 6 months and not perpetual?
The Founding Partner Cohort is a defined intake — not an open affiliate program. Six months gives founding partners meaningful financial upside during Maniacs Engine++'s critical early phase, while keeping the cohort tight enough to support personally. Cohort terms may evolve after the founding intake closes.
How is revenue calculated?
20% of the recurring subscription fee paid by each developer you refer, for each month they remain a paying subscriber, for six months from their first payment. Pricing will be confirmed before the cohort activates. Payments are monthly, tracked by referral link.
How is this different from an affiliate program?
Affiliates scale volume. Founding partners prove distribution. We review every application and reply personally. The Founding Partner Cohort is a short list of organizations whose audiences are the exact developers Maniacs Engine++ was built for — not an open sign-up.
How do we track cohort performance?
Unique referral link per partner. Monthly reporting via direct communication with the founding team. Partner dashboard on roadmap.
