The new game appears in your games list and opens to the detail view.

Naming Conventions

Good naming makes projects easy to find as your library grows. Consider a consistent format:

ConventionExample
Client - Campaign - DateAcme - Summer Sale - 2026Q2
Product - ObjectivePuzzle Quest - User Acquisition
Genre - Network FocusMatch3 - Meta Campaign

Tip: You can rename a game at any time from the game detail page.

Game Settings

Each game has configurable settings:

  • Name — The game name shown in lists and exports
  • Logo — Visual identifier for the game
  • Description — Internal notes for your team
  • Category — Genre classification for organization
  • Tags — Custom labels for filtering (press Enter to add)

Game-level settings act as defaults. Versions and variants can override some values.
