Poki For Developers đź“Š

What is Poki For Developers?

Poki for Developers is where all the information regarding your developer team and your games on Poki lives. You’ll be able to make sure your team information is set up properly and upload, analyze, and update your specific games all in one place. Below this you will find an overview of the key aspects of P4D.

General Team Settings

Under this tab, you will find the general settings for your account.

  • General: Add general information regarding your team, primary contact details, and your country of residence. This information will be used should your game pass all the testing stages.

  • Users: If you work on your games with multiple people, you can add multiple users to your Poki for Developers team account, allowing you to access dashboards and game entries together. Clicking Create User opens a menu where you can enter the name, contact information, and role. There are two roles to choose from:

    • Developer — Access to all facets of Poki for Developers.
    • Developer Support — Can upload new versions, but with restricted access to earnings and monetization metrics after a game’s release.

  • Billing: If your game passes the testing stages and is released on Poki, you’ll be able to add and review your billing information here.

Games

While your game is going through the testing phases, the progress through the different levels of testing will be shown here. In total there are five steps:

  1. Add your game
  2. Get player feedback
  3. Player Fit Test
  4. Poki Web Fit Test
  5. Final Poki Review

If your game has passed the testing phases and is released on Poki, your game’s performance metrics will be displayed here. Data regarding the total amount of gameplays, your game’s earnings, engagement times and monetization are all gathered here.

  • Versions: Here you can find the different versions you’ve uploaded for your game. Through the “Upload New Version” button, you can upload additional versions to Poki for Developers. On the right side, under the Actions tab, you can open your game in the Inspector tool or preview the game in Preview mode, which will show the game as it would be displayed on the actual Poki platform. This is particularly useful when checking whether your game works correctly in a live environment.

  • Playtests: Here you can review and request more playtest recordings for your game. More details on the playtesting process can be found here.

  • Settings: Review and change more granular details about your game. For example, the title and the suggested categories and description for your game can be added here.

  • Suggested Categories & Description: Here you can pick up to four categories that describe your game. When setting up your game on Poki, we take the suggested categories that you’ve provided for us into account but also apply our own knowledge of the categories on Poki to help you find the best suited audience for the game. That means that sometimes games are placed in other or additional categories than the ones suggested.

    Similarly, we welcome your input on the description of your game! Tell us a bit about the main game mechanic and what makes your game stand out. We’ll use this as input while making sure your game has a search engine optimized description that is consistent with other game descriptions on Poki.

  • Thumbnails: Here you can upload and update your game’s thumbnail. Once a game is live on Poki, all thumbnail updates will need to be reviewed by our team. Simply drag the file for your new thumbnail onto the screen to upload. You can then submit the request, which will be reviewed as soon as possible.
