BGA Studio documentation
How do I register?
Registering is done by e-mail to BGA contact address.
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 'terms & conditions' document. It's really quick, so as to get to the fun part faster.
To be valid, the registration e-mail must contain this document (TODO: link pdf) as an attachment, and the sentence '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, you get by e-mail a list of the games we have an agreement to develop. Please keep this list confidential, or it would ruin our tradition to make players guess the name of the next game on the forum!
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 'ressources.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 to tutorials for the example games: (TODO: link tutorials).
Then start editing files and see what happens! ;)
