FunPlus Games Creator Kits Use Policy

Last update: 22 May 2024

 

We love players’ creations and would like to support you if you are willing to make tasteful videos, tutorials, artworks, stories, or any other creative content related to our game! For some of our games, we also provide you with some comics which are relevant to our games (“Comic Book”).

To make it easier for you, we created this kit that contains artworks, wallpaper, and many other visuals that should help you illustrate or create your content. For your experience as a player, we also created the Comic Book which you can find on our page and download for free. Please follow our rules that apply though as set out in our Creator Kit Use Policy below before using our Creator Kit and Comic Book and before sharing your creation for free with the community!
