Developer Area

Welcome to the BadgeGames Developer area! If you're already a developer with us, please use the normal login box above to login with the credentials we've supplied you.

In order to provide the best possible gaming experience for our members, we're always looking for new games for our site. We invite you to send us your game - getting it featured on BadgeGames will bring it a huge amount of traffic!

Here's the normal process that you'll have to go through to get your game up and running on BadgeGames:

1. Make a great game!: Make a fun flash game, and send us a copy to test out (don't worry about the API yet, just link us to the normal version). It doesn't have to have console-quality graphics or anything - just make sure the graphics are reasonably nice, and the gameplay is fun and addictive!
2. Setup Stage: Once we approve your game, we'll open a developer account for you if you don't already have one. You will also get a link to the game's "Game Setup Page". During this stage, both you (the developer) and us (BadgeGames) can edit the game's settings, which includes the list of badges for the game, badge icons, descriptions, points, the game's description, etc..
3. API Integration: At this point (once we're all satisfied with the game's settings), we'll lock the Game Setup Page so it's not editable. You'll get a copy of the API so you can integrate it into your game. It's really easy to use - you can test it out using Flash's "Test Movie" feature, so there's no need to upload it repeatedly to test it out. All you have to do is place one file in your game's directory, add a couple lines of code, and you're done!

We have both AS2 and AS3 versions of the API!
4. Testing, and Go-Live!: Now you just have to upload the game, and we'll test it one final time. If it works (which it probably will, since you were able to easily test it out locally), the game goes live!
