Publishing Your Game

Publishing Checklist

Treat this as a “release candidate” checklist. Aim to check every box.

Game readiness

• Your game has a complete and substantial core loop
• The win/lose (or end) condition is obvious
• New players can understand the goal in under 30 seconds
• You have onboarding: tutorial, signs, NPC dialog, or a first-time flow
• You have a default session length target (short/medium/long) and it feels right

Multiplayer + stability

• You tested with multiple players (not just solo)
• Late-join works (joining an in-progress game)
• Disconnect/reconnect doesn’t break a session
• Players can’t soft-lock themselves (stuck, no inputs, no escape)
• Spawns/respawns are safe and consistent

Performance + feel

• The game loads quickly enough for streaming audiences
• There are no obvious frame drops in busy moments
• Camera and controls feel consistent across the whole game
• Audio levels are reasonable (no clipping, no extreme volume jumps)

Art + clarity

• Assets and textures look cohesive
• UI text is readable at typical play distances
• Key interactables are visually distinct from background props

Metadata (what players see before they join)

• Title + subtitle describe the game in one sentence
• Loading message explains the core loop or controls
• Thumbnail/preview is accurate and not misleading
• You have a short “streamer pitch” (one-liner) ready to paste anywhere

Community Standards

Games on All Out must be generally appropriate for all ages.

• Your game must be free from extreme realistic violence/blood, nudity, or romantic content
• Games cannot claim to offer players sparks or other paid virtual currencies
• Games cannot reference drugs or alcohol
• Text in games should be free from all profanity

Rights and attribution

• You have the rights to everything you ship (art, audio, brands, logos)
• You follow any attribution requirements for external assets (if any)

We reserve the right to remove games at any time, for any reason.

Publishing flow

1

1) Save Your Project

If you have a Git repository, we recommend creating a commit before publishing, so you'll be able to track what's changed between releases.

2

2) Click the "Upload" button in the top right of the editor

Set Active Now makes the uploaded version active immediately. Clear it to upload a version without activating it.

3

3) Monitor Your Launch

After you publish a new version, monitor active servers and check Game Error Monitoring

Use Managing Servers/Updates to rematchmake or stop servers if needed.

4

4) Ship improvements fast

Check player feedback and make adjustments!

Players can leave feedback via Feedback/Ratings.

After you publish

• Hop in and hang out with your community!
• Check for player Feedback/Ratings and make adjustments
• Reach out if you need any help! See Developer Support.

If you're publishing an update to your game, decide if you want to use the rematchmaking feature to automatically send players to updated servers with Managing Servers/Updates. Activating a version changes new sessions; existing sessions continue until they end, rematchmake, or are stopped.
