What Deltaship is
Your own branded launcher, small updates and a release dashboard for your games and apps, Unreal Engine or any engine.
Deltaship gives your game or app its own branded desktop launcher, small updates and a release dashboard, without you building the infrastructure. It has a free plugin built into Unreal Engine, and a command-line publisher for builds from any other engine. Players install and update through a launcher with your name, your art and your colors. You publish from the Studio dashboard.
The three parts#
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| The Unreal plugin | Makes a packaged build patch-ready, checks it, shows how big the update will be, and uploads it to your studio. |
| The Studio dashboard | At app.deltaship.dev. Holds your games, releases, launcher design, players, news, team and plan. |
| Your launcher | The desktop app your players install. It shows your news, installs the game and keeps it up to date. |
How a release reaches players#
- You package your game in Unreal as usual.
- The plugin prepares the build and uploads only what is new since your last upload.
- In the dashboard you publish the release to a channel, such as Live.
- Your players' launchers see the new release and download only what changed. Every file is verified before the game starts.
Where to go next#
- Create a studio if you do not have one yet.
- Your first release in 10 minutes walks through the whole path once.
- Plans and limits shows what each plan includes.
