Create a studio

Sign up, confirm your email and create your first game.

A studio is your space in Deltaship: your games, releases, launcher, players and team. You can belong to several studios with one account.

Sign up#

  1. Go to app.deltaship.dev and choose Sign up.
  2. Enter your email, a password of at least 10 characters, and your studio's name.
  3. Open the email from Deltaship and confirm your address.

Your studio starts on the Free plan. You can change plans later; see Plans and limits.

Create your first game#

  1. In the dashboard, open Games & releases.
  2. Under Create a game, enter the game's name and a slug: a short web name of lowercase letters, numbers and single hyphens.
  3. Choose Create game.

The number of games you can create depends on your plan. On Free it is 1.

Find your plugin settings#

The Unreal plugin needs a few values from your studio. The dashboard shows them on a Plugin setup card, each with a copy button:

ValueWhere
Server addressPlugin setup on Settings and on each game's page
StudioPlugin setup on Settings and on each game's page
Studio id (starts with org_)Plugin setup on Settings and on each game's page
Game id (starts with gam_)Plugin setup on the game's page

Paste them into Project Settings > Plugins > Deltaship in the Unreal Editor. See Set up the plugin.

The getting started checklist#

The Overview page opens with a Getting started checklist that ticks itself off as you go. Nothing to mark by hand.
