| == What is this? ==

| == How can I develop a board game on BGA Studio? ==
| |
| | |
| Check these presentations first:
| |

| |
| | |
| == How do I register? ==
| |
| | |
| Registering is done by e-mail at '''studio(at)boardgamearena.com'''.
| |
| | |
| Please provide the following information:
| |
| * your developer user name to be used on “BGA Studio” (for technical reasons, no space, number or special character);
| |
| * your real name;
| |
| * your e-mail address;
| |
| * your postal address.
| |
| | |
| We also drafted a quick [http://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/images/0/02/BGA_TC_Dev_en.pdf 'terms & conditions' document]. It's very light, so as to get to the fun part faster.
| |
| | |
| To be valid, the registration e-mail must contain this document as an attachment, with the following sentence in the mail body: 'I agree with the terms & conditions for developers on BGA Studio joined as an attachment'.
| |
| | |
| And of course, we also encourage you to tell us about which games you would love to develop on BGA!
| |
| | |
| == Ok, I registered, what do I get? ==
| |
| | |
| First, from time to time you will get by e-mail the names of some of the games we have an agreement to develop, so that you can tell us 'Hey, this game is great! I want to develop it!' (please keep these names confidential, or it would ruin our tradition to make players guess the name of the next game on the forum)
| |
| | |
| <pre>NB: during the BETA pĥase, to smooth things up and make sure that everything is working correctly,
| |
| we will work only with 3 fearless developers on 3 simple games.</pre>
| |
| | |
| Second, once we have discussed together and are fixed on a game you'll take charge of, we'll create your studio account and you will get:
| |
| * one login / password to access files through SFTP
| |
| * ten logins with numeric suffixes from 0 to 9 and a common simple password to test games on the studio website while developing.
| |
| | |
| Once logged in to your SFTP root folder, you will find:
| |
| * a 'resources.html' file with the URLs to use and some extra connection information
| |
| * three folders containing the three simple games provided as examples
| |
| * a folder for the game you will be developing initialized after our 'EmptyGame' template, providing the game structure (and comments! and examples!)
| |
| | |
| Then... that's all, you can start!
| |
| | |
| == Great, I'm in! ... How should I start? ==
| |
| | |
| If you didn't already, check the presentations at the top of this page to get the basics.
| |
| | |
| After that, we would advise you to take a peek at this tutorial for creating the Reversi example game:
| |
| * [[Tutorial reversi]]
| |
| | |
| Then start editing files and see what happens! ;)
| |
