Publishing

When your world is ready, publish it to the Hub so players can discover and play it.

Before You Publish

  • Play test your world. Send 10-20 messages. Check that variables update correctly, entries trigger at the right time, and that it actually plays well.
  • Write a good description. This is the first thing players see on the Hub. Be clear about what the experience is — genre, tone, premise.
  • Add a cover image. Worlds with cover images get noticeably more clicks.
  • Set the content mode. Label honestly — Limited for standard content boundaries, Limitless for expanded content boundaries. Mislabelling is a guidelines violation.
  • Tag your world. Tags help players find your world through search and filtering.

How to Publish

  1. Open your world in the editor
  2. Go to the Overview section and fill in the description and cover image
  3. Click Publish on the right of the editor's top bar (right next to Save)
  4. In the publish dialog, set the content mode, visibility, and whether to allow others to edit; agree to the terms; hit Publish

Publish to Discover dialog with tags, play time, visibility and content mode

Once it passes review, everyone can see it ( •̀ ω •́ )✧.

Updating a Published World

After publishing, you can keep editing. Saved updates that need publishing appear as Unpublished changes. Saving a draft does not submit it for review or replace the live version. When you're ready to push those updates to players:

  1. Make and save your changes
  2. Open Unpublished changes in the editor's publishing status
  3. Click Submit for review. The status becomes In review only after submission; the current version stays live until approval. Creators with review bypass enabled see Publish update instead, which publishes without waiting for admin review. Either action saves any additional unsaved edits before submitting them.

Existing players' sessions aren't affected — they continue with the world version they started with. New sessions use the updated version.

Version History and Rollback

Open Versions / Version history from the editor's top bar or its menu. Publishing, submitting an update, or updating a review saves a snapshot automatically. Content that actually goes live also gets a published-version record. Each world keeps up to 20 automatic records shared by publish snapshots, published versions, and restore backups, separately from 10 named versions you can save manually. Older automatic records are removed as the limit is reached; named saves are not replaced by automatic history.

  • Restore to draft: select any saved version to replace your working content, cover, and age rating. The public version stays unchanged. Leave the safety-backup option checked to save your current draft first, then test and publish the restored draft when ready.
  • Make live: on a currently published world, choose an eligible Published version to switch the public content, cover, and rating. Current live identifies the active version. Your working draft is preserved, and the outgoing live version is kept in history.

Both actions keep listing details such as the title and tags unchanged. Only eligible, previously live versions offer Make live; named saves and publish submissions must be restored to a draft and published through the normal review process. Withdraw any pending update review before switching. If a world was taken down and approved again, versions from before that latest approval cannot be made live directly.

Multi-Language Support

If your world works in multiple languages, you can create language variants:

Just below the title you'll see your current variant, and to the right you'll find Create New Variant — a variant can be a different version of the same card, or a whole new language!

The content entries themselves (character descriptions, lore, etc.) are part of the world schema — if you need content in a different language, create a separate world variant and link them through the language group system.

Add up to 8 gallery images showcasing your world — gameplay screenshots, custom UI, or promotional art. These appear on your world's Hub page.

Announcements

Pin an announcement to your world's Hub page to communicate updates, events, or important information to players. Maximum 5,000 characters.
