Projects¶

Projects lists your games. It is the first thing you see when you open the creator.

Projects: Your games, 2 of 30 games, Import and New game, and a row per project with Open, Release, Duplicate and Delete

The list¶

The heading shows how many games you keep, out of 30. Each row has the game's cover, title and when you last edited it. The game you have open says open.

Below Projects, a Released section lists the games you released. Buyers keep the version you released. Edits stay with you until you publish an update.

Buttons¶

Button	Where	Does
New game	Top	Starts a game from the default Bitsy game: a room, the avatar, a cat, tea, a key, three tunes and two blips
Import	Top	Makes a new game from a `.bitsy` file or a web page exported from the Bitsy editor (`.bitsy`, `.txt`, `.html`)
Open	Each row	Opens the game in every tool
Release	Project rows	Turns the project into a game you can sell. Asks first.
Duplicate	Project rows	Copies the project. The copy is a new project.
Delete	Project rows	Deletes the project for good. Asks first: Keep it or Delete for good.
Publish update	Released rows	Sends your edits to players as the next release. Asks first.
Game page	Released rows	Opens the game's page on the platform

Release a game¶

Release “Chili Garden”? It becomes a game you can sell, and you can keep editing it here.

Choose Release on the project, then Release it.
The game moves to Released. On the platform it is on the My games shelf of your Library.
To sell it, list it on the marketplace from your Library. See List a game for sale.

Buyers get the version you last saved before releasing. Releasing needs a verified email address.

Publish an update¶

You can keep editing a released game. While your edits are not published, the top bar says unpublished changes next to the release number.

Choose Publish update on the game and Publish it. Buyers, the platform's Play page and devices get the new version from then on.

Limits¶

Limit	Value
Games per account, released ones included	30
Size of one game	1.5 MB

When you reach 30, New game, Import and Duplicate are off. Delete a project to make room.
