Publishing a game created in OVERDARE Studio allows other users to access and play it. You can also set the game to private to conduct private tests with your team or individually.
Once your game is complete, share your creativity and passion with the world, creating a unique experience for players globally!
Open the world you created in OVERDARE Studio, click the button in the top-right corner, and select Publish to OVERDARE to publish the world.
Clicking Publish to OVERDARE initiates the publishing process.
Once the publishing process is complete, you will be automatically redirected to a web page to input world information. Enter the world’s name, description, and other details. (All information must be filled out to register the world.)
Register a thumbnail image to display in the OVERDARE App’s world list. (Only JPEG, JPG, and PNG formats are supported.)
Register an image to display on the OVERDARE App’s world introduction page. (Only JPEG, JPG, and PNG formats are supported.)
Finally, choose whether to publish the world and click Next. (If the game is incomplete or requires testing, it is recommended to publish it later.)
Publish now (Enabled): Publishes the world as public. (It may appear in the app depending on access settings.)
Publish now (Disabled): Publishes the world as private. (It will not appear in the app.)
Review the terms and conditions, agree, and click Complete to finish publishing.
Content that violates OVERDARE’s Community Guidelines may result in penalties.
Once the world is published, click Go to My Contents to navigate to the Dashboard. (If you missed this step, you can refer to Item #6 below.)
In the Dashboard, click the World tab to view your registered worlds. Click on a world to configure its information, version, or access status.
In the Version tab, you can check the publishing status and version of the world. “Now Processing” will be displayed during the publishing process, and you’ll need to wait a few moments for the processing to complete.
Once publishing is complete, the screen will read: “Now version is ready”.
If you have chosen to Disable publishing when you published your world, the Publish now button will be enabled, and you can publish by pressing the Publish now button.
Click Publish now to update the world’s version to the current one.
Click the Publish button to proceed with the version update.
Once the update is complete, the Published version will be displayed.
Note that it may take some time for the world to appear in the app.
In the Access tab, you can modify the world’s access status.
Public
The world is displayed in the world list within the OVERDARE App.
Users can join and play the world.
Pause
The world is displayed in the world list within the OVERDARE App.
Users can view details about the world but cannot join or play it.
Private

Users cannot access the world.
In the World Info tab, you can edit the world’s thumbnail, name, description, and other information. (After editing, click the Save button at the bottom!)
If Publish is set to Disable, you can use the QR code and URL in the Version tab to conduct multiplayer tests on mobile devices across different network environments. Share the QR code or URL with users you want to test with.
Note that once Publish now is activated, the QR code and URL will no longer be available, and access via these methods will be disabled.
Mobile testing is not possible in the following cases:
Sharing/entering a QR code or URL from a previous version instead of the updated current version
Attempting to access by purposefully changing the URL
Go to the Dashboard by clicking Dashboard - My Contents in the top menu area of the Creator Hub.

Clicking Update will automatically redirect you to a web page to choose whether to publish the world. Choose whether to publish in the web page. (The subsequent steps are the same as during the initial registration.)
