Is anyone supposed to be able to type here?

[dire bridge]

Yes, this is an announcements channel but also a general discussion chat 🙂

[muted crane]

ah that makes sense, also just to let you know this channel isnt automatically added to peoples channel lists

i only found it because it popped up in suggested

[dire bridge]

Oh... I didn't notice that.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll check this out with the other Unity admins to find a solution to that!

How we can earn and recive money with unity play?

[dire bridge]

Currently, Unity Play doesn't support direct monetization. However, publishing games on Unity Play gives developers a chance to gain visibility, especially if their games are featured on the front page or trending lists. This exposure can lead to recognition and opportunities beyond the platform 🙂

[red frigate]

Are there any particular features that make unity play stand out from other popular unity webgl-built game hosting platforms, like itch.io?

[viscid zealot]

Hey this is an amazing tool! Thanks! I see we can export from Struckd to Unity but can we then export it back to Struckd, if not, do we have to publish as a webGL game to make it accessible on the net?

[wind oriole]

Oh so that is the reason why i couldn't implement ads in my game

[dire bridge]

This is probably one of the main advantages:

"Publishing games on Unity Play gives developers a chance to gain visibility, especially if their games are featured on the front page or trending lists."

We have our Showcases with some great rewards, and we offer a good Unity Integration (meaning you can easily upload your WebGL builds from Unity). Besides that, we also have Studio and Exporter, to help newcomers build their first games.

[dire bridge]

Good question, but unfortunately importing is currently not possible.

[gleaming prawn]

Hey guys, anyone able to quickly test if my game prototype downloads correctly?

For Windows

The dev-logs was bugged, could not let me post

[opaque basin]

Did you post a Unity Play project?

[brittle sedge]

A game made in unity? Yes, it was finished.

[opaque basin]

Read the pinned message.

[brittle sedge]

So Unity Play is its own technology, 'Unity Play' thought it was a video game you play in Unity, ty, I never heard of Unity Play before

Have awesome, adios

[gleaming prawn]

Ola, looking for playtesters

[rose river]

Can anyone shed some light on this problem? I just finished my 1st learning pathway and it plays fine before I publish, but after publishing I only see a loading bar and black screen. Anybody have any ideas?

[opaque basin]

Try reloading page with Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl+R I've had to do that at least once in the past opening UnityPlay game pages. Failing that check compression settings, can test with no-compression, perhaps.

Also browser console should provide information to what's happening.

[dire bridge]

Hey everyone,
We got a total of 313 submissions to the Unity Play Launch Showcase so far. That's amazing, thank you so much! 🙂

The Showcase will continue running until November 30th, 2024! Good luck!

[rose river]

I can’t seem to publish with WebGL for some reason. I know it’s installed, and it’s not greyed out in Build Settings, but the button to “Build And Run” is greyed out. Any ideas?

Ah…nevermind

[dire bridge]

Did you find a solution Juliet?

[rose river]

I did. Thank you

[wheat stirrup]

Unity 6 build for play.unity. After completing build and ziping the file attempts to load to Play.Unity returns a red " Game upload failed- please ensure that this is a valid Unity Build" What am I doing wrong?

[wooden hinge]

Hey guys I made a game using controllers and when I upload it to Unity Play, the controllers aren't recognised until I get a game over and press my rematch button. Is there a way to fix this?

[dire bridge]

We'd probably need more information to help you troubleshooting that issue. Is the controller input set to initialize at the beginning of the game? If not, that might be the reason why it only works upon restart.

[jovial ember]

Hi there! I have a question regarding the terms. Specifically that line:
"d) not have been submitted previously in any promotion of any kind;"
Does that mean that if I have submitted a previous version of my game to a Showcase before (without it beeing picked for promotion), it is not eligible?

[dire bridge]

I'll check this out and get back to you as soon as possible.

[stable otter]

Could somebody set a description for this channel?

[dire bridge]

We're still reviewing this matter internally. Just wanted to let you know that we did not forget your request 🙂

[jovial ember]

Thanks! If it helps, for me this ist about a Prototype I submitted to a Showcase in 2021. Of course, it developed a bit since then. But I can imagine that this question might be also interesting to be answered in general for others, too.

[willow berry]

I have a question is there a channel dedicated to? To talk about the beauty you see in the creation and share some of the work and talk about the beauty that unfolds from unity and their creations and it has anybody noticed a paradigm shift in the way technology is acting

And whoever reads this and authenticity, I am grateful and happy to be here. It’s a bit overwhelming.

[surreal delta]

@willow berry There are #1180170818983051344 where you can see people's works, or share your own. Otherwise, these channels are for development discussions only, not philosophy.

[willow berry]

Namaste, thank you

[dire bridge]

To clarify this question, that line leaves some room for interpretation, but it was supposed to be focused on previously awarded Unity Play Showcase entries. We'll make sure to change it for the upcoming Showcases, but for now it should be fine if you just upload a game that hasn't been awarded previously.

[foggy pawn]

Hey guys I have a question, I submitted a game a few minutes ago but it's not showing in the latest games on the showcase. Is there any time period before it shows up?

[dire bridge]

[polar dove]

Hey Everyone!
I have made a new horror game called Christmas night for Christmas. It will be release on 20 December at night 8 PM.

[surreal delta]

You can use #1180170818983051344 to showcase and promote your games.

[fallen horizon]

Oh got it

Sorry about that

[half river]

Is there any unity play games available in mobile excluding struckd games

[topaz mesa]

Has anyone else noticed, that if you password protect your game, it displays password=mypassword1234 and actually puts your password right in the address bar? Isn't this a huge sin?

[abstract musk]

Query strings in URLs are HTTPS protected. Keeping it there isn't ideal for cases where you might be sharing your screen, but otherwise it's probably fine and allows sharing without having to press an extra button to get the link. You wouldn't want this for hyper sensitive information, which I don't expect Unity Play builds to be. You probably wouldn't want to rely on this sort of token/password mechanism without additional access control to protect sensitive information to begin with.

[topaz mesa]

hold up, Unity Play is unusable unless you consent to unity capturing VIDEO IDENTIFIABLE information? There is no rejecting this. it is a requirement to play? I clicked consent, then went to footer to reject, but that just forced this popup again.

[surreal delta]

It is a legal requirement in accordance with the Video Privacy Protection Act.

[opaque basin]

@runic osprey Please read channel descriptions. If you want to post dev log, you can use #1180170818983051344

[midnight dawn]

Legal doesn't mean right

[past goblet]

what does personally identifiable video viewing information even mean

[minor mason]

Is there any downside to putting my game on UnityPlay? Like fees and stuff if it's monetised
Or is it really just static site hosting with discoverability?
Also is it meant for iteration in development by building and publishing to it multiple times a day?

[simple dirge]
