Create a game

What you'll need​

  • To have installed ShipThis and run the shipthis login command
  • A Godot game
    • We currently support Godot 3.6 stable and Godot 4.3 stable

Guided setup​

The quickest way to create a new game, is to run the wizard command from a directory which contains a project.godot file. The command takes a platform parameter - this can be either android or ios. The wizard will create a shipthis.json file which you should add to your version control.

To see all the available options for the wizard, please see the command reference.

To create an Android game​

The Android wizard will guide you through each of the Android set up steps.

To create an iOS game​

The iOS wizard will guide you through each of the iOS set up steps.

Manual setup​

The wizard command makes use of other commands provided by the ShipThis command line tool. If you prefer, you can initialize the game and run the steps manually at the command line from a directory which contains a project.godot file.

The first step of the wizard is to run the shipthis game create command.
