10:00 Game Publishing with WebGL
Let’s go through the steps to get your game Roller Ball game published to the web. We’ll be publishing to Simmer.io. You will want to make an account there.
Follow along:
- Go to Project Settings and Change Publishing Settings to Disabled Compression Format (found under player)
- Go to Edit, Build Settings
- Change to the WebGL Platform
- Add Open Scenes to capture the scene you want to turn into a game
- Choose Build
- Create A Folder called WebGLBuild, select it and choose Build.
- It will take 5 minutes or so.
- Go to Simmer.io and create an account. Upload your WebGLBuild folder.
- Boom – Done!
- Fill in the meta details, add a screen shot, etc…
- Upload your finished and published game to this dropbox

10:25 Debrief on our next activity…
10:35 Break
10:45 – 12:15 CAWD Game Studio
CAWD Fun Games – Game Studio
- Pick a one button game to build from your group (ore create a new game idea)
- Select a role(s)
- (Project Manager, Sound Design, Game Designer, Game Coder(s), Game Producer, Asset Creator, Texture Artist, UI artist / developer, storyboard artist, etc…. there are many roles, )
- Build a game
- This is a team effort. You will support each other and work together.
- Go as far as you can in this limited window (90 minutes today)
To be successful as a team, you need to know the deliverables:
- One Game Design Document (Here is a template)
- A playable game (prototype is fine) in Unity IDE or published as .exe file
- A Home Screen with Game Title
- Play Button that opens the game
- Credits Button that opens Credits Screen (credits list roles of all team members)
My first suggestion is to talk about your one button games together. Have a time keeper. Work together to quickly select one of your games as the team choice.
My second suggestion is to think about what you’d like to contribute and divide up the roles. Having someone as the organizer will really help your team (game producer and/or project manager)
Then, break up the roles and be clear what you are working on. Commit to your role!
For example:
- Will – Game Developer and coder, set up game project, scenes and basic code
- Karen – Timekeeper and Project Manager, creating game design document, tracking deliverables
- Hannah – Visual Design Artist – color palettes, fonts, layout of Home, Credits Screen
- Ella – Asset creator / Texture Artist- Blender
- Libby – Sound Design, timekeeper
- Reese – Game Designer – strategy, core mechanics

At 12:10 a representative from your group will share out where you are, what you accomplished and what is next.
