Y8 Developer Portal

Everything outside your game's own code happens in the Y8 Developer Portal — creating a studio and a game, getting the credentials the SDK needs, uploading builds, and submitting for review.

You will spend most of your time in two places:

  • My Games, which lists your games. Open one to edit it; its builds are uploaded on its Builds tab.
  • A game's SDK Initialization tab, which holds the App ID and Game ID your integration needs, and where you register development addresses.

Before you submit a game for review, its Media tab needs screenshots and promotional images. Media Guidelines says what Y8 accepts, with examples.

A game's other tabs — Basic Info, Leaderboard, Achievements, Feedback, and AFP where it applies — cover its details, leaderboard tables, achievements and review messages. The QA tab is not available yet. They are self-explanatory in the portal itself, and it is the authority on what they currently do — this documentation deliberately does not mirror them.

What you need before writing code

  1. An account, and a Studio — see Create a Studio. Every game belongs to one, and you do not need to be a registered company to have one.
  2. A game, created under that studio — see Create a Game.
  3. The App ID and Game ID from the game's SDK Initialization tab — see SDK Initialization.

With those in hand, go to Platforms to install the SDK.
