# Create a game

> Create a game from your developer dashboard

You create games from your developer dashboard. You need a developer profile before you start.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the create form">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/live2-dev/pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY/images/developers/create-game/open-create-form.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY&q=85&s=1c3a9874c29d2afc56046274e2b9b308" alt="Open the create game form" width="2712" height="1534" data-path="images/developers/create-game/open-create-form.webp" />

    Open <a href="https://pro.live2dev.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">pro.live2dev.com/dashboard</a> → click **Create New Game**. This opens the game form at <a href="https://pro.live2dev.com/dashboard/create-game" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">pro.live2dev.com/dashboard/create-game</a>, which walks you through five steps: **General**, **Platforms**, **About this Game**, **Media**, and **Publish**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in general information">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/live2-dev/pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY/images/developers/create-game/fill-general-information.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY&q=85&s=5929b1e9ef0cf07891986a0fa856415a" alt="Fill in general information" width="2496" height="1378" data-path="images/developers/create-game/fill-general-information.webp" />

    Work through the **General** step (**General Information**). Fill **Title** first — **Slug** is generated from the title automatically and cannot be edited. Then fill **Description**, **Required Age**, **Website URL**, **Game Status**, and each taxonomy list (for example categories, genre, and theme). Click **Continue** to move on, or **Back** to return to the previous step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add platform links">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/live2-dev/pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY/images/developers/create-game/add-platform-links.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY&q=85&s=bb53951c37e7088fad65255072f02a91" alt="Add platform links" width="2496" height="1378" data-path="images/developers/create-game/add-platform-links.webp" />

    On the **Platforms** step (**Platform Links**), choose a platform from **Select platform**, paste its URL starting with `http://` or `https://`, and click **Add Platform Link** for each additional store or platform. Click **Remove** to drop a row you no longer need. You need at least one complete platform link.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write about this game">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/live2-dev/pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY/images/developers/create-game/write-about-game.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY&q=85&s=751b02a9b0de313233d527ceb1a78dca" alt="Write about this game" width="2496" height="1378" data-path="images/developers/create-game/write-about-game.webp" />

    On the **About this Game** step, use the rich text editor to write a detailed page with headings, images, and lists. This content is required before you can save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload game media">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/live2-dev/pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY/images/developers/create-game/upload-game-media.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY&q=85&s=668e792f4d17122e0e699fab40b42ccc" alt="Upload game media" width="2518" height="1464" data-path="images/developers/create-game/upload-game-media.webp" />

    On the **Media** step (**Game Media**), upload all four required images: **Banner Image (Hero)**, **Cover Logo**, **Cover Vertical Image**, and **Cover Horizontal Image**. Then add at least one preview image or video to the gallery (up to 10 items). Files you upload are held as drafts and attached to the game when you save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save or submit your game">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/live2-dev/pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY/images/developers/create-game/save-or-submit.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY&q=85&s=1222e04ec1e0f538c457903d6bcab855" alt="Save or submit your game" width="2518" height="1464" data-path="images/developers/create-game/save-or-submit.webp" />

    On the **Publish** step, check the summary of your **Title**, **Slug**, **Description**, **Required Age**, **Game Status**, **Media**, **Platforms**, and **About this Game**. Click **Save Game** to save as a draft, or **Submit for Review** to send it straight to admin review. Click **Cancel** to leave without saving and return to the dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the pending badge">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/live2-dev/pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY/images/developers/create-game/pending-wait.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=pVHJZiNwjGlKMoWY&q=85&s=e0b549597f180ce9adb10a0960fbfc4d" alt="Game with pending badge on the dashboard" width="1218" height="546" data-path="images/developers/create-game/pending-wait.webp" />

    Back on the dashboard, your submitted game shows a pending badge while admin review is in progress. You do not need to do anything while you wait.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Field rules

Keep the title to 1–200 characters and the description to 10–5000 characters. The slug uses lowercase letters with dashes and is created from the title for you. Set **Required Age** between 0 and 21.

Upload all 4 required images, add at least 1 preview, and add at least 1 platform link. Pick at least 1 option in every taxonomy list: categories, genre, and theme allow up to 3 each, other lists allow up to 6.

If an image has the wrong dimensions you see a warning message, not a failure — adjust the image and upload it again.

### Next step

Create a campaign for your game — see [Create a campaign](/developers/create-campaign).
