Highlights​

Shared Cloud Onboarding: Questionnaire & Personalized Checklist​

This new onboarding process is designed for users who are ready to begin game development or integration. It prompts new users to answer a questionnaire that provides a personalized onboarding checklist. This checklist recommendation guides the users on the fundamentals on how to get started with the AGS features.

How to Access the New Flow:

  1. Register for Shared Cloud using this link.
  2. Complete the registration steps until you reach the Onboarding option page.
  3. Select "Yes, Let’s set up my game" and click the Start Game Integration button.

Important Note: Choosing "No, let me explore" will bypass this new flow and direct you to create the Bytewars namespace (AccelByte's sample game integration) instead. However, you’ll have the chance to access this questionnaire and checklist on every game namespace you create.
