Creating a New Project

Sign in to PlayServ Backoffice to start the onboarding flow. It covers two steps: setting up your studio and creating your first project.

Name your studio​

A studio is the top-level workspace in PlayServ. All projects live under it.

Enter a name in the Studio Name field and click Continue. The name appears in the header and project selector across the Backoffice.

A URL slug is generated automatically from the name — lowercase letters, digits, and dashes.

Studio Name screen — first onboarding step

Create your first project​

Select how to set up the project.

Project creation screen with Start with example and Start blank options

Start with example sets up a demo project pre-filled with a catalog, storefronts, functions, and 30 days of simulated player activity. Recommended if you want to explore PlayServ before connecting a real game.

Start blank creates an empty project ready for SDK integration. Use this when you already have a game in development.

tip

To skip this step and return later, select Skip for now → I'll set this up later.

This guide covers the Start blank flow.

Configure project details​

After selecting Start blank, fill in the project configuration:

  1. Enter a Project Name — used to identify the project in the Backoffice and the project selector.

  2. Choose an Icon colour — generated from the project name initials.

  3. Select a Region — where the project data will be hosted.

    Available regions: us-east-1 · Virginia, eu-west-1 · Frankfurt, ap-southeast-1 · Singapore, sa-east-1 · São Paulo.

warning

The region cannot be changed after the project is created. Choose the region closest to your players or backend infrastructure.

Click Create project to finish.

Project details form with name, icon, and region fields

Project dashboard​

The Backoffice opens the project dashboard immediately after creation. From here:

  • copy the Game ID from the project header — required during SDK setup
  • use the Quick Start Panel for links to integration resources
  • open SDK Keys to create your first credential
note

SDK keys are not generated automatically. You need to create one before proceeding with SDK integration.
